John has just stepped down as Chairman of the Hants & Dorset ARA, is a Hants & Dorset ARA Race Official, officiating at a number of South Coast Championship Regatta's  and has served on previous South Coast Championship organising committees as well being the Regatta Secretary of Southampton Town Regatta for many years - so he has plenty of experiance and knowledge to bring to the role.
