The Team
Each Committee Member has a number of key responsibilities for the effective running of the club. Everyone has a job to do while helping to maintain the club's charity status and assisting with the smooth flow of every training session, meeting or event.
The Committee Members are unpaid volunteers who help support the troupe, train the different sections and aid with all other aspects of the club. This being from arranging the weekly transport hire to competitions, sourcing new uniforms and completing grants & fundraising applications. They give their time and energy to conduct duties and responsibilities while acting with integrity at all times.
All of our Committee Members are DBS checked and are very professional in their job roles. Every month the team hold a meeting to discuss any updates, information, applications or any other relevant material for discussion regarding the group. The team also governed their own rules and regulations to create a successful charity. There is also a yearly AGM conducted, where the parents, members over the age of 18 years and anyone else involved with the club will be invited to attend.

As the Treasurer of Hyndburn Comets Majorettes, Carole has contributed hugely to the club - from overseeing the monies in & out, taking care of the uniforms, aiding with the overall running of the club recently and generally supporting everyone however she possibly can. We really don’t know what we will do without Carole on our team, however unfortunately from 2021, she will be taking a small step back from the Comets. She will continue to support the dancers and attend some competitions after this time. Until then, we will continue to love and support her as she does to everyone.
