The group wouldn ’ t have gotten to where it is without Andy Large , who joined forces with me in the early days ; he ’ s been a rock for me , within the group ’ s growth and personally as a friend . And our newest additions to the team are Jessica Ashley and Matt Payne . Both have a real passion for what we do as a group and come with heaps of ideas and enthusiasm , we ’ re a close team , and it works because we get on as friends and enjoy each other ’ s company , on and off the water . And finally , a big hello to past admin members Nick Devenney and Hannah Johns , who massively helped the group grow since they stepped down but have remained close friends .
