Vice President
I am based in Invercargill and have been a member of the Invercargill Club since 2019. I share my time between family, full-time work at the Southern DHB as their Asset Manager, part-time work for the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) as an online facilitator in their Bachelor of Applied Management, and as the managing director of the Factory Invercargill, a local Craft Brewery. Apart from work my personal interest vary between sailing, archery, music, and fishing. As a committee member I aim to support the Invercargill Club in a well balanced, proactive and strategic way forward.

Greg is CFO of PowerNet, who collectively manage electricity distribution businesses throughout Southland and Otago [and is the fourth largest such business in NZ].

Secretary
Tracey joined the Committee in 2022 as Secretary, and is keen to see the traditions, history and social side of the Club continue. Tracey is Company Secretary for PowerNet Limited including its subsidiaries and joint ventures, and a part time Marriage and Funeral Celebrant.
Along with her husband Shane, Tracey loves spending time with her family of two married adult children, their partners, and grandchildren in increasing numbers. Tracey and Shane enjoy the varied events held at the Club, and the warm relaxed atmosphere to meet up with friends.
Spare time is focussed on family catch ups, music (one of the trio Folkinfusion, and one of the organisers of GET FOLKed at the Southland Musicians Club), friends, our beautiful parks, natural health, meditation, writing, crochet, walking our labradoodles and hoping to revive some sewing skills

Committee Member
In 2019, Phil became a member of the club and later joined the committee in 2023. Fifteen years prior, as a 19 year old Phil first walked into the club to participate in snooker competitions, forming fond memories of the place. Inspired by its rich history Phil believes the club should look to continue to grow and cement its place not just in the history of Invercargill but in the future too.

Phil is the founder of Invercargill-based Back9 Creative Studio, which specializes in web/app design and digital marketing.
​
Despite being an avid snooker player and enjoying various sports (mostly as a spectator), his golf skills still remain modest.

He also serves on the Southern Billiards and Snooker Committee. When not immersed in these responsibilities, Phil enjoys digital illustration and cherishes time spent with his family.
