We have two new employees. Dean Gooch is the new Bar Manager and John Peacock is the even newer Club Manager. They were caught at the bar (only for work purposes) for a picture - John on the left, Dean of the right. Their emails are on the web site Governance page.

John Peacock and Dean Gooch on the former's first day at work on 10-09-18

Dean has been in the hospitality trade for over 20 years in a variety of roles. He has worked for city centre venues, a large regional brewer and independent pub companies. He was most recently with Wear Inns, based at Castle Eden with pubs across the north of England. He is keen to see how the bar and social spaces can be better used without losing their attraction for the current customer base. He said yesterday: “I look forward to working at Tyne with John and the members on these new challenges”.
  
For his part, John joins us from a heavily events based background working for a local charity, the Linskill and North Tyneside Community Development Trust in North Shields and has been part of the events and fundraising team for the past three years. Prior to that, John worked as assistant manager of Wallsend Boys Club, another charitable trust where he headed the events and fundraising division. He said : “It is an exciting time for the club and I am very much looking forward to working with the team and being part of this fantastic organisation going forward”.
