Interview with Artin Basirov, Chairman of the Elizabethan Club 2015-2020 By Rhiannon Jones-Hopkins
Why did you get involved with the Elizabethan Club Committee, and what made you decide to run for Chairman? I got involved in because I felt that there was a lack of younger OWW on the Committee and I wanted to help plan events and things that younger OWW would like to do. I became Treasurer for four years, looking after the money, and I watched the demographics change and the Committee change alongside it. When Tim Woods stepped down and there was a new Head Master I thought it was a perfect opportunity to run for Chairman. I knew from watching Tim as Chairman that the hardest thing was going to be giving up time, but I had the time, I liked seeing change and I liked improving things. I was very keen to keep that interaction between the School and the pupils and the Club strong and relevant.
