Volunteers URGENTLY needed

The club is run entirely by a fantastic group of volunteers, but do urgently need more people to help if we are to continue to offer all of our current activities and continue to thrive. We are particularly looking for people with finance experience who could take on some or parts of the Treasurer role.

 

There is a list of roles we are looking to fill on the website, but if you just have a small amount of time we do have other ad-hoc roles to fill. Use this form to express your interest: Fill in the Volunteer sign-up form
