Roger has served WTA since its early days in the 1980s, almost entirely as Chairman. A retired Whitstable teacher, he specialised in sport and was a qualified coach in football, cricket and athletics. He and his wife, Linda, came to Kent after working as teachers in the Bahamas. He ran Whitstable Castle, leading to its restoration

Graham recently retired from his teaching position at the Community College Whitstable where he was the inspiration and organiser of a huge number of students’ visits to and from Whitstable and the partner towns. This was part of his commitment to the position with WTA as Youth Co-ordinator. He takes over as Chairman from Roger Annable, not an easy task. Jokingly, he says that all he can promise is that the speeches will be shorter.

Began assisting WTA as Minutes Secretary. Gillian is more than just secretary, having many other duties. A trained caterer but now semi retired, working in Education Finance.

Appropriately, her first job was with the Bank of England. Carol and husband Alan used to own Copperfields, the household goods shop in Whitstable High Street. Brought up in Dulwich, she spent school holidays in Whitstable.

David is looking forward to building on the excellent work already established by the Dainville group
