We wish to inform members that, with immediate effect, our Chairman, Mike Ashley,
has stepped down from his duties as Chairman and as a member of the committee for
personal reasons.
Mike will remain one of the Club’s Trustees and will continue to support Warsash
Wasps, albeit in a much reduced capacity, offering guidance and assistance as and
when required.
In accordance with our club constitution the committee have
appointed our current Vice-Chairman, Simon Gray, as Acting Chairman with immediate
effect.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Mike for his
sixteen years of dedicated service as Chairman. Mike has provided strong leadership
and stability, guiding the club through many significant moments in its history.
During his tenure, Mike oversaw some of the club’s most important developments,
including the construction and introduction of the Weatherproof Wasps 3G surface, the
new changing and committee room building, navigating the challenges of COVID, the
badger issue, and many other hurdles faced along the way.
His commitment, leadership and passion for the club have played a huge role in
shaping the strong and resilient organisation we are today, and we are extremely grateful
for everything he has done for Warsash Wasps.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this interim period
leading up to the AGM on 31st May, where the committee for the upcoming season will
be formally ratified by the voting members in attendance.
Warsash Wasps Committee
