Coventry Society Committee
The Coventry Society is run by a small group of enthusiasts called "The Committee" or more formally "The Executive Committee". The committee is made up of four formal positions (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) together with up to eleven additional committee members. We also have some "informal" positions which are filled by volunteers on the committee but are not formally nominated (we have a minute secretary and in theory a membership secretary - although this role has been undertaken by the Treasurer for some years).
The Coventry Society is a registered charity and the committee members are the trustees of the charity and their names are formally notified to the Charity Commission each year.
Following the AGM on 8 April 2019 the committee members are:
Paul Maddocks - Chairman
Vincent Hammersley - Vice Chairman
Colin Walker - Treasurer
John Payne - Secretary
Terry Kenny - Minute Secretary
Les Fawcett - Committee Member
Peter Walters - Committee Member
Jim Passmore - Committee Member
John Purcell - Committee Member
Trevor Cornfoot - Committee Member
The committee is elected each year at the AGM. All committee members stand down before the meeting and may be re-elected onto the committee.

Where there are vacancies on the committee, they have the authority to nominate additional members. The committee may also invite interested people to attend committee meetings as observers. Anyone interested in joining the committee or observing a committee meeting should contact the Secretary.
