VOLUNTEER TO HELP YOUR CLUB

Our club is run entirely by volunteers - we have no paid staff and the governing bodies can inadvertently create as much administrative bureaucracy as they give practical assistance.  For us to progress we need more volunteer assistance from parents or former athletes. 
​Help is very welcome in the following areas:

COACHING  - Either in the various track & field disciplines or in distance running (road and/or cross country).  We can arrange practical guidance on how to carry this out (from our own members or invited specialists from outside).  If you're keen to take things further we will finance you in gaining formal qualifications.  
TECHNICAL OFFICIALS  - The track and field leagues that we compete in require us to provide both qualified and unqualified field judges, track judges and timekeepers at each league meeting. 
This is not an onerous job, and may simply involve holding a measuring tape, raking a sand pit or recording competitors' numbers, but we can also assist volunteers both practically and financially in becoming formally qualified.  
EVENT ORGANISATION  - Road and cross country events need a host of helpers e.g. in

• Marshalling out on the course or at the finish;
• Processing entries or registrations;
• Providing refreshments (also at track and field meetings);
• Moving equipment (also at track and field meetings);
• Processing computerised results (also at track and field meetings).

 ADMINISTRATIVE AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES

• Maintaining membership records;
• Minor maintenance work e.g. electrical, plumbing, joinery;
• Fundraising - we try to support our teams in travelling around the country to events;
• Social events - we would like to restart our popular annual Presentation evening;
• Writing reports on competitive events (for our website and the local press);
• Plus whatever else you're interested in or will be helpful to us.
