As President I would like to welcome Jo Traynor onto the 2014 Derwent Committee. Whilst a Derwent member, due to her work within Hockey South and then Hockey Tasmania, Jo has been unable to take a specific role on the Committee within the Club. Following 17 years of hard work, Jo no longer works within Hockey Tasmania and has joined the Committee. On a sadder note for the club, Natalie Fahey will no longer be holding the portfolio of Senior Women’s Coordinator due to study and work commitments. Natalie will remain on the Committee, however the Club is now seeking a Senior Women’s Coordinator. If you are interested please contact either Jane Ansell or Kathy Fahey (details are on the last page)
