Serving Member

George Collin (until October 2024)

George plays croquet competitively, with an AC handicap of 0 and a GC handicap of 2. He is an examining referee at AC. He started playing in the north-west 45 years ago, relocating to Bedfordshire in 1981. He is particularly interested in groundsmanship and has been the honorary groundsman at Wrest Park since 1990. They currently have 4 lawns and do all of the own lawn maintenance.

In the past George has been Club Secretary and a Team Captain. He has served on the committee of the East Anglian Federation since it began. He was Treasurer for 25 years and then served a term as Chairman. He is currently the Federation Child Protection Officer.

George is a retired High Street solicitor. For 35 years he has been the Chairman and a Director of Luton Community Arts Trust -a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The Trust is responsible for the distribution of substantial public funds. George therefore has a very good understanding of the CA's status as an unincorporated association and the current plans to effect a transformation of the Association into an incorporated charitable body. His background and experience will be of considerable benefit to the Association at national level.
