The Board also had this composition: Per Larsson, Vice Chairman, Björn Adolfsson, Secretary, Lennart Pettersson, Treasurer, Arne Johansson, Sture Johansson, Sven-Åke Lindblad, Jan Svensson, Kjell Söderqvist and Ove Thörnlöf.

Chairman of the women's section: Benny Pettersson, men's section: Tomas Östin, youth section: Hans Svensson, finance section: Lennart Pettersson, marketing section: Sven-Åke Lindblad.
