VOLUNTEERING |
A message from club secretary, Nick Hume:
"Following the success of the Games Makers at the 2012 Olympic Games and the call for more input to grass roots sport there are a number of initiatives that are seeking to increase the part played by volunteers in local sports clubs. Therefore, if anyone is interested in becoming involved in a voluntary capacity with BWFAC please contact Nick Hume.
For example Junior Team Managers are urgently required for the coming Road Relay and Cross Country Season. Other roles could include 'meet and greet', providing refreshments, assisting with coaching groups, planning club social events, publicity etc. Track and field officials are particularly important to allow us to put on successful meetings.
This is an opportunity to become involved and help with a local club that is trying to provide athletic opportunities to as many people as possible and to build upon the achievements of the London Olympic Games. Advice, guidance and training will be given where necessary, so do not worry about being thrown in and left to sink or swim!"
