Club Committee

Home // About us // Club Committee

The Executive Committee runs the club. It meets regularly, with other committees reporting developments from their own committee meetings.

The current executive committee structure consists of four executive officers; those being the chairman, vice chairman, club secretary and treasurer. In additional there are 12 role based positions on the committee to represent the key functions and operations of the club. Finally, there are also the positions of President and Vice-President on the executive, but these are non-voting roles.

Each role is based upon a three year term, with new members being elected to the executive committee at the Annual General Meeting each June.

James Cockroft

Club Chairman

Like many other volunteers, James first got involved in the City of Hereford Swimming Club through his children, with two girls still swimming competitively at the club. James is a firm believer that time passes quicker volunteering and supporting the club, rather than sitting and watching from the side lines - and would encourage anyone who would like to follow suit to do so, as he's a great example that you don't need to be an ex-Olympian swimmer to help out - even if its only a little bit!

Lisa Evans

Membership Secretary

Lisa’s two boys started training at Ross in 2016. As it’s much more fun to help at meets/galas than just watching, Lisa has been a time-keeper for several years. She is now working towards becoming a J1 official.

Sandy Gough

Competition Secretary



Wayne Taylor

Open Meet Coordinator

Wayne has been involved with the Club since 1997, when his eldest daughter starting swimming with the club. Wayne decided to help poolside at first, rather than sitting in spectator area getting bored and has become more and more involved as time has progressed.

Alison Beynon

Vice Chair

Ali is mum to two young children who both train in Ross, and wanted to do something small for the club, to ensure it continues to provide the excellent training and competition organisation that our whole membership enjoy.
