Our Younger Members are part of a lively social scene for the under 35s. They are organised in part by the club, but at the helm are a dedicated committee made up of younger members who have got involved with various parts of the Royal Over-Seas League, whether it’s helping at events or sitting on Central Council.
The Committee exists to be both the voice of the club’s younger members and a conduit through which the younger members may learn about the club’s ethos and activities. Its focus is to ensure that younger members make the most of their ROSL membership. There are currently five main roles within the Committee: Chairperson, Secretary, Inter-Club representatives and a Commonwealth Liaison, but two still to fill. The voting for two Ordinary Members is open until Monday 20 November, so if you haven't yet stated your preference, you can vote here. You should have already received the login details via email, but if you would like them to be resent, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

The announcement of the two new Ordinary Members will be made at the Younger Members Reception on Thursday 23 November. If you would like to attend, RSVP here. They will join the following current members of the committee:
Chairperson: Samantha Pickett. Samantha’s role is to spearhead this group of bright young stars and work closely with ROSL staff and Central Council to create the best social scene for under 35s.
Secretary: Malcolm Ellison. Malcolm’s role is to feedback relevant information to ROSL staff, ensure the correct records are kept of all official Committee meetings, and support the Committee in their wider goals.
Inter-Club Representatives: Edmund Hastie and Samantha Pickett. The Inter-Club Group is a network of 19 London clubs which bring their younger members together for parties, socials and activities. Edmund and Samantha’s role is to attend regular meetings to decide this wider social calendar and ensure the opportunities are made clear to ROSL younger members.
Central Council Liaison: Caroline Roddis. Caroline’s job is to attend Central Council meetings to report on behalf of the Committee the Younger Members activities, and vice versa feedback to the Committee updates on general club news.
Commonwealth Liaison: Jackie Yu Hon Lam. Jackie’s role is to work with the wider Commonwealth organisations to ensure Younger Members are aware of opportunities such as events, volunteer work and scholarships.
