The Members’ Advisory Group (MAG) has been strengthened by the appointment of seven new members.

There were three vacancies on the group, but as there were a number of outstanding candidates, and to allow for a greater breadth of the sport to be represented, a total of seven people were appointed.

The terms of reference for MAG have been adjusted so that from now on it will comprise between 12 and 18 people, rather than its numbers being fixed at 12.

The new members are:

• John Andrews
• Phil Ashleigh
• Juliet Bertie
• Stephen Bertie
• John Mackey
• Liam McTiernan
• Dave Randerson

MAG Chairman Neil Hurford said: “I’m delighted at the number of strong applications we received and that we have been able to appoint seven excellent candidates who will strengthen MAG with the skills and expertise they bring.”
