Jack Denny was Assistant Honorary Treasurer (year?). He was never really fit enough to become a lifesaver however, he became assistant treasurer to Bill Whitehead and an assistant organiser with the housie and Fancy Fair nights. He was at the Club every Sunday morning to collet fees and he kept a meticulous record of every financial member of the club. He became infamous for harassing those un financial members.
