Hi all, after some 20 years, I have decided to take a step back from club activities and we, therefore, have a number of volunteer vacancies, as follows. I can work alongside anyone for the next few months who wishes to take on these roles to ensure a smooth transition.

1. Secretary/Membership Secretary
Committee Meetings, minutes & actions (inc. AGM & constitution as necessary)
Shared access area
Club membership – definition, renewals, finances, annual passes
Portal access for new and editing athlete entries
EA Affiliation – club and athlete, payments
Northern Athletics affiliations – payments
[email protected] Gmail monitoring and response and comms, inc. google forms (Membership, PR form, etc.)
Warrington AC Facebook comms (club messages and direct message handling)
Group waiting lists handling, processing and allocation
Contact information for emergencies and team managers

2. Event Organisation such as Walton Gardens races, Presentation Evening, AGM, etc.

We also still have vacancies for a Club Shop lead and support roles for gate duties.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

Regards, Andy
