Management Committee elected at the 1st AGM

Until now the volunteers who run the activities to “Save the Chequers” have been known as the “RCCBS Steering Group”. Our model rules require all to stand down and hold an election for the new “RCCBS Management Committee”. Note, these roles continue in it’s new guise to be unpaid. We have now completed this activity at our 1st AGM held on 13th June 2024 where shareholders voted for the election of 8 seats.

The election results were:

  • Clive Adams
  • Emma Drakeford *New Member Elected*
  • Jon Lambert
  • Sam Metson
  • Josie Nixon
  • Emma Swift
  • Nick Swift
  • Ian Wren

The sharp eyed amongst you will notice that the great Richard Woolley has decided to step down from the group – his leadership and cheer-leading will be sorely missed. Everyone must remember the passion with which Richard spoke at every village meeting about the value of having a pub in the community. His drive has been unsurpassed and the committee intend to make sure we complete what he started. Thank you Richard for all you have given to us over the past 2 years and the tremendous support to get to the stage we are at.

There is excellent news from the election that Emma Drakeford is joining the committee. Emma lives next door to the pub and has lived in the village for 17 years. She has fond memories of the pub and believes “we need it back open again as a place everyone can enjoy, it has been greatly missed”. She currently holds Vice-Chairman of the Roxwell Parish Council and brings a lot of business knowledge having worked for over 35 years in the Insurance and Reinsurance markets in the City. She will be a great asset and the committee look forward to working with her.
