CNCC
Well-known member
At our AGM in March, our chair, treasurer and access officer have indicated that they would like to step down, so we need new volunteers.
Chair
Andrew Hinde has served as our chair since 2017, having helped navigate CNCC through a phenomenal period of change, keeping meetings friendly and productive. Behind the scenes, he has represented us to several other local organisations and has also been our representative to the BCA for most of his tenure, including through some difficult times. He is, rightfully, hugely respected within the northern caving community, not only as our chair but also for his conservation efforts too (which we hope will continue). We are therefore looking for a new chair to help guide us through the coming years.
Treasurer
Pete Bann has been our treasurer since 2015, with a short break over 2020-2021. He has expertly kept track of our finances, produced reports, and ensured our money has been well managed. This is perhaps the least glamourous of all our officer positions, receiving far less credit than the role deserves. However, without a good treasurer, the work of the CNCC would quickly faulter. We thank Pete for his years of excellent service.
Access Officer
Kai Trusson has been our access officer since March this year (having stepped in last-minute when no other volunteers came forward and it was looking like the post would remain vacant). Since then, he has impressed us with his enthusiasm and dedication. He has dealt with many enquiries and progressed several complex local issues. It is a shame he is unable to continue, but we are extremely thankful for his stepping in at short notice. Now that we facilitate very few permit systems, it would be tempting to assume that the access officer role is a quiet one. However, as we have seen with recent issues at High Birkwith, serious issues can arise at any time.

Interested in working with us?
If any of these roles interest you, feel free to contact the current incumbent officer to ask questions.
Most importantly, please let our secretary know (secretary@cncc.org.uk) so that we can start discussions.
The CNCC team is an extremely friendly and supportive group. You are never on your own, and will be supported by existing officers. Informal discussions, ideas and assistance are always just a phone call or email away. This is a great opportunity to make a massive difference to northern caving.
