Meet the Committee

Lyndsey Stephenson
Chair"It was a great honour to be voted as Chair and an even greater privilege to be Saltwell’s first ever female chair in our 130 year history.
"We cannot deny we are living in very strange times at the moment so it is more important than ever that we all work together for the good of our club and our fellow members and look out for one another.
"I have lots of ideas of how to take the club forward, whilst maintaining its core values. I always welcome new ideas so please do come forward to chat to me at any point."
