Joanne describes working at the FCC as “never a dull day,” and has been at the club since 2007. Joanne likes to chat and always remembers an old face, and she sees it as her job to develop a close relationship with the members. If the front office can’t handle your question, Joanne will take over. Joanne also helps run the website and sits on the communications committee.
When she’s not at the FCC, Joanne likes to watch movies and go hiking. Wine and cheese are Joanne’s favourite things, and if eating from the FCC menu, she’ll normally go for a burger or curry.
Carman takes care of all aspects of membership at the FCC. Applications for new membership will pass through her hands, as will any questions about membership or membership suspension.

George is the boss of all food operations at the FCC. He’s been feeding members since 2007 and, as the menu suggests, likes to cook a whole range of cuisines, from Cantonese to Continental. George is often satisfied with a coffee and a croissant.

George is a keen badminton player and likes to watch football on TV.
Mike has been at the FCC for 16 years, and enjoys cooking (and eating ) Japanese, western, Chinese and fast food. His favourite item on the FCC menu is Singapore Noodles. He’s a relaxed man despite the hectic job, and puts this down to living on Lamma Island.
