The Executive Committee
​
Club Captain: Dionne Dorricott
I am so honoured this year to be the Club Captain of EUNC for the 21/22 season. I am a 4th year Law student and my previous role in the club was 1s Captain, a position I have held for the past 2 years. My job is to oversee the efficient and smooth running of the club, alongside the Secretary and Treasurer, as well as looking into further club development and supporting the rest of the committee in their roles. I will be in contact with the Sports Union, Netball Scotland and our community links to ensure the club is well connected. Last season was devastating for us as we could not compete in our BUCS and CENA leagues so this year will be monumental for the club in its progression and development, and I am so excited to be at the forefront of that. I am so excited to meet as many new people as possible and ensure everyone is having the best time as part of EUNC. Being a part of this club whilst at uni has been the most amazing experience and I am so excited for the year ahead of us. I am eager to see how the club develops and grows to become even more successful than before! ​

Club Secretary: Emily Criddle
This year I am honoured to take on the role of Club Secretary for EUNC. I am in third year studying Textile Design and entering my third year of netball with EUNC, previously a Social Secretary alongside Hannah Alexander in year 2. As Secretary I will be working closely with Dionne and Anna from the executive committee, organising team affiliation, signing teams up for competitions and supporting the Club Captain. I am super excited to be working alongside both Dionne and Anna in the organisation of EUNC for 2021/22 and can't wait to welcome new students to the club! Most importantly, this year I am tasked with organising EUNC's 2022 summer Tour, which due to COVID was unfortunately unable to go ahead last year. This is a great social event at the end of the academic and netball year of which I am eager to start planning for, after a year of travel restrictions! I am so proud to be a part of this years committee for another great year at EUNC, and look forward to welcoming new faces to the club this September!
