Help needed for Tumut to form committee

The Group Nine premiers are facing a mass exodus both on and off the field in 2024.

While premiership-winning co-coach Lachlan Bristow headlines a large contingent of their playing group who will not help the club defend their title, all of their executive have stood down as well.

President John Casey, vice president Dan Roddy, secretary Rose McCormick and treasurer Carrine Maher all stood down at the first annual general meeting earlier this month.

The club will now hold a second annual general meeting on Thursday looking to secure a new committee.

While the executive standing down was not unexpected, the hopes are needing a second annual general meeting will spark enough interest for others to take the lead.

"We will get one," Masters said.

"Even if we get to Thursday and we're still not ready for people to commit we will definitely get one."
