The Committee

Jonathan Leeson

Jonathan has been a member of VCS for several years. He recently joined the committee and has taken on the role of membership secretary.

Dennis Usmar

Dennis is a regular member of the work party. An engineer by trade, Dennis has made and mended many of the metal fences and handrails we have. As our fund raising secretary, Dennis is very good at persuading local people and businesses to donate money or give grants to support conservation in the valley.

Jill Lee

As the minutes secretary, Jill records the discussions and decisions at our monthly committee meetings. Given the length of some of the meetings, this is easier said than done!

Brian Shingleton

Brian has worked with the society for many years. He is a volunteer on the Tuesday work party and has recently been co-opted onto the committee.

Bryan Stovell

Bryan does a lot of work with the Tuesday work party. As an experienced building site manager, Bryan is great at organising some of the bigger tasks we do and is in his element when we need to bring some building plant into the meadow.

John Robertson

John initially joined VCS on the Tuesday work party. He now helps keep our Facebook page up to date and maintains our website.
