CHAIRMAN  -  Craig Thomas

 

Craig joined the branch as a founder member back in March 1999. He then took up the role of treasurer in September later that year. In the following March the Chairman at the time resigned and Craig was duly elected. He ended up performing both roles for a short time until November 2000 when Roger agreed to take up the Treasurers position. This then allowed Craig to concentrate on his role as chair right up to the present day.


TREASURER  -  Roger Booth

Roger has been a City season ticket holder since 1968 and is one of those few lucky City fans who have seen us win several trophies - he spent his first ever working months wage in 1970 on a trip to Vienna for the Cup Winners Cup Final.

Roger has been a Hazel Grove Branch member since 1999, having been an OSC member from 1974 until the late 1980s at another branch. He has been Treasurer of the Branch since November 2000 and also edits the Newsletter, which started off as a quarterly publication but has been produced monthly since August 2003.  He also arranges many of the guest visits to the branch, on average about 3-4 per year.




SECRETARY  -  Geoff Stevenson



Geoff joined the Branch in October 2001 and has been a regular attendee at Branch Meetings. Geoff also makes regular contributions to the Branch newsletter and has his own Blog page on the Branch website. He will endeavour at all times - alongside his fellow committee members - to ensure the smooth and efficient Branch organisation and he will always be approachable should any member wish to raise any issues or concerns with him. Geoff will be the Branches representative at EC meetings and will raise any issues as necessary and will actively contribute in any debate or discussions. He will report back to the committee and its members at all times with any relevant information.


TRAVEL SECRETARY  -  Gaz Stevenson

 

Gaz joined the branch as a member in the close season of 2000. Towards the end of the 2000-2001 season he began to help the then travel secretary, Paul Hilton in organising travel and tickets for games in an unofficial capacity. At the beginning of the 2002-2003 season Gaz was elected on to the committee as Travel Secretary. Since then Gaz and the branch have built up a good relationship with the ticket office which has enabled the branch to offer a wide variety of members the chance to attend both home and away games.


SOCIAL SECRETARY  -  Mike Bowden


Mike joined the branch in the summer of 2003 with the imminent move to COMS approaching, after an invitation by Roger who informed me that regular travel would be available to all home games and majority of away games. I have been attending City matches since 1977 and have held a season ticket since 1982. Since being a branch member i travel to every home fixture and have attended many away games which has allowed me to make many genuine new friends at the branch. I was approached in the May 2008 meeting if i was interested in being the social secretary when Frank steps down at the AGM. I agreed as it made it a natural move due to the fact that i run the branch website.
