CHAIRMAN

Shaun Reed

Chairman and Responder

I joined the volunteers at 4x4RNE in 2009 and since then have been an active member using a number of different vehicles I’ve owned in that time. I was asked if I’d stand for one of the officer roles which I duly did. The membership then voted me in as Vice Chair to work alongside our Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary. In December 2019 I took on the role of Acting Chair until the AGM in 2020 where I was voted in as the Chair for 4x4rne.
Being a member of the response is rewarding for me been able help people and to give something back to the local community and further afield when requested by other neighboring groups.
