Women’s Representative
As most of you are aware I have been the Women’s Rep for the club. However, I am no longer able to continue due to working shifts, which means I am not available for many weekend’s now. This means there is an exciting opportunity for a YOGi gal to take on this role. -) The aim of a Women’s Rep is a simple one really. It is for you to support the ladies of our club.
