To make decision if time is short you only need one person. The one that makes decision. In my opinion, there is a single person that's eligible, Denis Frere, who is taking all the risks with his association P3B and with local organisation.

It sounds like he has a lot to do already and not much time to spend on the list, but he should be the "executive committee" himself. Others are nice guys that spend time helping and that will make the thing real. 

Denis/P3B is the one that paid last year to fill the small deficit, Denis/P3B will take risks with money this year again. Denis decides, others help.

Denis' responsibility is to take decisions when needed.

Others' responsibility is to make sure the whole thing happens and never rely on Denis to do all the work.
