SKI CLUB CHAIRMAN RESIGNS

Malcolm Bentley has stepped down as the Club goes through what it calls ‘challenging’ times. Last year it made a loss of £840,000.

Malcolm Bentley has stepped down as chairman and as a member of the Club’s ruling council.

Trevor Campbell Davis has been appointed interim chairman.

Mr Campbell Davis is a long-time member of the Club and is honourary treasurer of the Alpine Club.

The Ski Club GB has recently made a substantial loss and has withdrawn its Leading Service.

Many long-time members are disappointed at the way the Club has been run in recent years.

The Club told members of the departure of Malcolm Bentley in a short statement.

It emphasised the appointment of the interim chairman rather than the departure of the old chairman.

“Members will be aware that the Club has encountered a number of challenges in the last year and Council and management have been re-assessing the strategy to restore the financial position and give a sustainable future.”

“A number of decisions have been made with much work still to be done but now is a good time to have an interim chairman as these decisions are implemented.”

“It also allows Council plenty of time to consider the options for a permanent chairman, who would normally be proposed to members at the AGM in November.”

Whoever takes on the role full time will have a mountain to climb as the Club tries to re-establish itself in a changing UK snowsports world and remain relevant.

Last July the Club appointed Ian Holt as its new CEO.
