Maurie McMillan served as club Secretary from the 1939-40 season through to 1946-47, and again in 1949 and 1955. That obviously didn't give him enough to do, as he was also Chief Instructor in 1939-40 and 1946-47, Vice Captain in 1940-41, and Boat Captain in 1943-44 and 1944-45. His dedication was an important factor during the war years.
