Crew

In keeping with the maritime theme from which the Passengers take their name, the society’s office bearers use titles similar to those of a ship’s crew.

Bill has been a member of the Passengers since 1987. He took over the Captaincy in 1996 when founding President Lionel Fredman was promoted to the Admiralty.

Officer of the Watch (Vice President) & Expedition Artist - Philip Cornell

Phil joined the Passengers at their third meeting in January 1986, making him the Passengers longest serving member. His skills as a Commercial Artist were immediately comandeered to create, amongst other things, the Sydney Passengers logo. His artwork features regularly in the Passengers' Log.
