Moving from second Shipwright to being the clubs honcho in the poncho, Harry really is in uncharted waters. Yet with his intimate knowledge of kayaking, his undeniable ability to drink, and his keenness to compete, we really are in for a fantastic year.

Secretary:
Elspeth Gordon-Smith

Brief Information:
Completing the CTS, Elspeth brings Mancunian enthusiasm to the table (because we absolutely need that), along with the will to argue with all who try and coach her. Even the Laws of Physics bend to her will, as her roll defies all logic and understanding. She rolls because....magic?

Trip Secretary:
Emma Morland

Brief Information:
Last years winner of the Award for Endeavour, Emma has a passion for paddling almost unmatched in the club, and is keen to live up to the legacy of carnage set in the past. As the first girl, and second ginger to carry out the role in the last five years, she has to keep her head whilst planning trips, battling GUSA for buses, organising Fort William, and ignoring the usual hecklers. Trips Sec is never easy, but it is in safe hands.

Competitions Secretary:
Colin McMorrin

Brief Information:
The first club member of recent times to win a Blues Award from GUSA, Colin was the natural choice to get our competition schedule on track for the coming year. With his organisational skills, complete intolerance for faff of any kind, and burning desire to win any competition, I fear for the safety of the opposition...

Social Secretary:
Fraser Simpson
Contact:

Brief Information:
Worth his weight in coppers, Fraser has stayed on as Social Sec for the shear love of getting others wasted. Last year, one innovative method was a scavenger hunt across Glasgow, culminating in that classy, classy hang-out: Viper. I have no idea what this masochist is planning to organise this year, but I bet we’ll need reminded in the morning. BUFFALO!!

Publicity Convenor:
Paul Walker
Contact:
Email Paul
Brief Information:
Normally in a limbo between kayak polo and an impossibly low Etive, Paul is known on sight to a great many paddlers he can’t remember. Of course this is nothing to do with alcohol... He can be found coaching hosts of beginners (till he scares them off), lost in the minibus en-route to a river, providing some bad banter in Altitude, or over the hedge outside the HIVe where Strathclyde Uni Canoe Club have dumped him!

Shipwright:
Tom Jenkins

Brief Information:
Not content to simply be on the Safety Committee, Tom has volunteered to help keep the club's fleet of kayaks in working order. It's a tough job, but if anyone can do it, it's this Welsh-man and his acerbic wit.

Shipwright:
Kieran McAllister

Brief Information:
The Fresher of the Year, Kieran wanted a post on the committee that had more casual hours...never has someone made a poorer choice of office. He'd only been on two rivers (a PWL Etive and a near frozen Spean Gorge), yet headed off to the French Alps in the Summer, we merely hoped he'd survive, but instead he came back to show up many who'd been in the club for longer!!

Breffni O'Connor

Brief Information:
The mother of enthusiasm!! Despite being on about twenty committees, Breffni wants everyone to be in our club and everyone to stay in the club. She’s always pushing her bounds as a paddler, and is great to talk to when it comes to correct technique of accidently styling a rapid.
