    Election


Steve Wilde and Brenda Yates will be standing down from the committee. Both are available for re-election.



Members are invited to make nominations by email to tickets@northwichfolk.co.uk or on paper to the Secretary in person or by post to 34 Shores Green Drive, Wincham, Northwich CW9 6EE by Friday 15th March.



Committee members carry out a variety of duties and share the responsibilities of running the club. It is expected that committee members will run nights. The Committee meets quarterly, sometimes more often, to review and plan.



If there is more than one nomination, members will receive a brief description of the contribution nominees feel they can make to running the club and will be invited to vote online.
