The club will be holding its annual general meeting on October 7 and the hope is to have as many people as possible attend and register their interest in helping the club move forward.
The majority of the current executive have been in their roles for several years now and are hoping some new faces will come on board to lead the charge.
However, they have promised they will still be around the club to offer advice and help where it is needed.
Current president Craig Higgins has been at the helm for around four years.

He's hoping to handover the role at the AGM.
"We'd love to see a few new faces there," Higgins said.
"Even if you have never been involved with the club before, we'd love to have new people on board.
"I just think it's time for some new ideas. We've been around a while now, so I think sometimes that's just what you need.
"A bit of change and some new ideas."
While the 2020 Group 20 season did not go ahead as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the various restrictions and requirements in place, Yanco-Wamoon is hopeful the 2021 year will be given the green light.
With that in mind, Higgins said it was likely current player Kane Hammond would be taking on the first grade coaching role.
"At this stage we believe Kane Hammond will coach if everything goes ahead," he said.
"He's put his hand up, so that's a good thing.
"Kane's a good fella and he has the respect of the playing group."
However, as those who have been around a sporting club know, having an executive and committee in place is one of the first challenges that needs to be overcome before competition can be properly thought about.
Yanco-Wamoon has been building their playing ranks in recent times.
Just last year the club's league tag side won their first ever premiership.
If the right amount of helpers and volunteers can come on board, the future is bright for this sporting organisation.
