Our Committee

A committee of nine people are elected by the membership to run the club on behalf of the members. Responsibilities include but are not limited to financial, regulatory and statutory obligations; ensuring the Rink remains watertight and fit for purpose; implementing appropriate safeguarding measures for all members, and ultimately to ensure the Club produces high quality productions across all genres of theatre.

The committee is supported by dedicated group of co-opted members that manage certain aspects of the club such as social media, costume and front of house. If there’s something you think you could help the club with, please contact secretary@gadoc.gg.

Lisa Johnston BEM

CHAIR
Lisa has been a member of GADOC for over 40 years. As well as taking part in productions such as Carousel and Honk, in 2009 she began directing for the Club and then joined the committee in 2010. She was recognised for her contribution to theatre in the Queens New Years Honours list in 2018.
Naomi Leach

HONORARY SECRETARY
Naomi joined the Club nearly 30 years ago as a panto babe, and has since taken part in countless plays, musicals and pantos. Naomi has loved learning more about running GADOC and our fabulous productions since joining the Committee in 2024, and directed her first play for the Club in 2025.
Stuart Simon

TREASURER
A keen supporter of GADOC for many years, Stu joined the committee in 2024 as Treasurer, and brought with him a small finance team to assist comprising Jess Savident and Paul Devonshire. By day Stu is Finance Director at Suntera (Guernsey) Limited where he has the pleasure of working with Lisa every day! Stu also coaches junior football and is an avid Manchester United fan (but don’t hold that against him!)
Alan Robin

PR OFFICER
Alan joined GADOC in 2018 and can usually be found on the dark side (backstage) on shows. He joined the committee in 2022 and has lead the digital revamp of the systems the club and committee use. Alan works hand-in-hand with wife Dani promoting all things GADOC!
Sarah Hicks

SAFEGUARDING OFFICER
Sarah became a member of GADOC in 2012 when her daughters Jodie and Ellie auditioned for their first panto Little Red Riding Hood directed by Bridget Carey where Sarah was a chaperone for the performances. Her love for chaperoning grew and has been involved with numerous musicals and plays over the years. Sarah joined the committee and is now Safeguarding Officer for the club. GADOC is a great club to be involved with as you make lots of friends and memories along the way!
Fleur Rowe

PREMISES OFFICER & PROPERTIES MANAGER
Fleur is the Properties Manager and Premises Officer for GADOC having been involved with the club since 1993 both on and off the stage but is now found on the dark side wielding a glue gun. More recently she has crazily combined the roles of props with stage manager. Fleur has been on committee since 2023 and is active with maintaining the club’s greatest asset, the Rink.
Emily Masterton

PRODUCTION LIAISON OFFICER
Emily was first involved with GADOC in 2005 and has taken part in various productions over the years. Since settling back on island, she wanted to give back to the club and has loved learning about various aspects and hard work that goes into running the club, as well as the broad range of production team roles.
Arun Dowinton

TECH OFFICER
Arun is a proud member of GADOC and delighted to have supported the club for two years as a co-opted Technical Officer. Since officially joining the committee in 2025, he is excited to contribute more broadly to the club’s operations while continuing in his role as Technical Officer. He has also been commandeered by Fleur Rowe to lend his skills to the facilities management of the Rink. Arun has been involved in theatre and the performing arts since the age of three. After moving “over to the dark side” in 2014, he has become a familiar sight in technical theatre—often found up a ladder rigging lights, or behind a sound and lighting desk, dressed head-to-toe in black.
