Following the recent Working Groups announcement, we are actively seeking additional volunteers to join the initiative.
We welcome volunteers from all disciplines, with a special emphasis on reaching out to sprinters, jumpers, throwers, and juniors.
The five working groups we are looking to setup are:
AGM Working Group
Constitution Working Group
Performance and Training Working Group
Whitehall / Clubhouse Working Group
Membership Survey Working Group
Your club needs you. Whether you are 10 or 80, a jumper or a marathoner, used to be on Committee or have never been involved in club management before; if you have ideas, a positive and collaborative approach, we would love to hear from you! We want to build a club that everyone is proud of. If you are interested in getting involved, please email Ben Maliphant and Paul Owen (Club Chair and Vice Chair) to express your interest and find out more!
Our next Club Committee meeting is on Thursday 16th November, so we are asking for any final volunteers to come forward before 19:00 on Thursday 16th November. Thank you.
