Volunteer Information
General
Except for a fortnightly clean of the clubhouse, everything at the club is done by members.
Every mug put into or taken out of the dishwasher, every old tennis ball picked up and put away, every leaf on the court removed, every bit of pruning, every surface wiped, any litter cleared – all done by members.
And also, every old tennis ball left on court, every top from a tube of balls dropped by the net, every glass left on the table outside, all the crockery left in the sink – also done by members.
Please help.
More specific
If you’d like to do more, the Club would welcome anyone who would like to do something or organise things for the benefit of members – social tennis sessions, weeding, painting, watering plants, checking for wear and tear, mowing, pruning…
All of these things and more are done by volunteers. If you would like to talk about what you might do, please contact the committee.
Your health, your safety
If you do volunteer to do anything, you need to check the possible risk of any activity, using the Volunteer Risk Assessment on the notice board. Simple things like lifting o carrying, or climbing a step ladder, can cause injury. Be aware of what might happen, and avoid it.
All volunteers should read, and agree to work in line with, this Risk Assessment, and with any more specific safety details for equipment or activities.
This is to protect you. It will also protect others, especially if you’re not used to working where other people, children and animals may be wandering around.
You should also read the DLTC Risk Assessment Form, which includes details that volunteers are expected to be aware of, so that you can help the Club to be safe for all members.
Please read the following at your leisure:
