THE COMMITTEE

Christopher Cosgrove - Chairwino/Venue & Event Coordinator. Christopher enjoys red wine in quantity and is particularly fond of Port. His arrival is preceded by a booming "Any Port in a storm!". Christopher has a very good nose. And fairly nice legs. Although the club's very own serial-monogamist, Christopher is about as charming as a dead mouse in a loaf of bread.
Terry Odgers -  Vice-Chairwino. When not sampling massive quantities of wine he can normally be found falling off his mountain bike. Fancies himself as a bit of a weekend warrior, although he lacks both talent and commitment. When you talk to him, he looks at you and grins and nods and nods and grins and appears to be the world's best listener, until you realise he has fallen asleep. He thinks he suffers from short term memory loss, but he's not quite sure.
Ian Grant - Secretary. Ian is a night-owl and prefers to sleep during the day and write sh*t in annoying, red QuickType Mono font during the night. Ian is a shtonkin'-good chef and can turn bangers 'n mash or King Pies into a cordon bleu meal. He has a Shetland pony with a cough .... he says "it's just a little hoarse". He is collecting wine labels to wallpaper his house and is consequently drunk most of the time. Ian is very organized and likes to start meetings on time. Consequently Ian is always disappointed!

Ken Bruyns - Treasurer

Kenjy loves red wine & hates trout. He can regularly be seen, fly-rod in hand, desperately trying to rid our dams of them. Luckily for the rest of us fish lovers, Ken is a lousy fisherman. He can tell a tale tale though. Kenjy owns the Star Wars box-set and a light sabre. May the force be with us!
Jeanette Odgers - Tasting Coordinator. Has four dogs and a husband. Can't always tell them apart. Loves F1 and thinks the sun shines out Fisichela's backside. She drives her Corvette like Fisi ... mostly parked on the side, watching the traffic speed by. Friends call her "GI Jeanette" ... but not to her face. Jeanette's favourite saying is: "I can hear you but I'm ignoring you because you're inferior!"
Geoff Carter - Honorary Biscuit Doris. Geoff was inducted to bring some respectability to the club. Oh how we erred! Geoff is part Game Ranger, part Sudsa-King. This of course explains his dress-sense. Like Christopher, he too has dodged marriage a few times, preferring to sleep around rather than commit. Of course, by "sleep around" we really mean "nod off at the drop of a hat". Geoff can normally be found napping at a wine tasting near you. Geoff's standard response to any comment is "Yes, but ...". Geoff gets shouted down a lot by the other committee members.
EdRonel Arnold - Tasting Notes. EdRonel are conjoined Siamese twins, with the Ed part sporting a natty third arm from the back of his head. This makes EdRonel very good at pouring wines at our tastings whilst taking tasting notes at the same time. EdRonel prefer to be called "Aaaarnie". Aaaarnie is the only sane on on the committee. But give them time.
Petra Preuss - Deputy Treasurer. This an entirely fictitious portfolio. Petra is only here to give the ageing committee members free physiotherapy. And to help pour wines. And to take money when Kenjy is unavailable. Petra is a minor deity and is often accompanied by an ethereal mist and strange glowing.
