George is a Cool Clubber due to his marketing success for team15 and for the Axbridge Animals in particular.
George managed to get 6 of his friends (both boys and girls) initially interested in team15 and encouraged them to come along to a team15 session. Now all six are keen T15 members.

George promotes T15 at any opportunity and acts as unofficial social secretary. He also provides many of the demos at the club sessions so is a great role model which is giving him the necessary experience to become an assistant instructor.
Thanks for being such a good team15 marketeer George and it sounds like you are well on the way to making a career out of windsurfing...
