My name is Jo, I am a new mum to my son Jack who is almost 10 months old. I have worked for the WA State Government for 16 years. I have been a member of the Club for 5 years. I really enjoy all the events at the club and wanted to become more involved, so I joined the social committee in 2020 before moving into the role of Social Rear Commodore in 2022. You'll often see me out selling 100 Club and meat raffles for the Social Section, or having a beer with my husband Brendan and friends most Sundays. I also gave Sailing a go at the beginning of this year and really enjoyed it and I hope to be able to get back out on the water soon. To anyone thinking of trying out any of the other Sections' activities - do it, you won't regret trying!

What’s your guilty pleasure: Cake and CupcakesI have no self-control around them.

What would we most likely find you doing on the weekend: Out walking my dog, catching up with friends, drinking at the Club or off camping.

What do you enjoy the most about the ORSSC: The community feel, anytime you head down to the Club, there is always someone there who wants to have a beer with you.

What do you enjoy most about being the Social Rear Commodore: All the members I have met through planning and attending events and just being down at the Club. I've loved meeting so many new people and I have made so many new friends through it.
