ON THE PACE: Places still to be filled after AGM

Terry McMillan will remain as president however newcomer Maurice Finemore has replaced Brian Hay as vice-president.

Hay did not stand for re-election but will remain on the club's committee.

However with Rex Smith, Brian Smith and Trevor Skein all stepping down there are a number of places on the expanded committee to be filled.

It's one priority for chief executive Greg Gangle.

"With the special resolution that was put forward (last year) the committee is extended and is open for new people," Gangle said.

"We're seeking committee people who are going to drive our business forward, have the best interest of the club and we are looking for those business-like minds who can benefit different parts of the clubs.

"We're looking at big picture items to keep the profile high, the integrity high and to keep moving the club forward."

There is also a Harness Racing NSW appointment yet to be made.
