Shiplake Tennis Club Committee
A Message from the Chairman
Ref: Committee vacancies
Shiplake Tennis & Social Club is run by a committee of volunteers, and a small army of other volunteers, to ensure that the Club runs efficiently and effectively, and that all activities and events organised for the members actually take place.
We now have one committee vacancy and we will soon have another three vacancies, so we are now seeking volunteers to fill these roles.
The Club will not be able to function without volunteers to fill these roles, so please do consider whether you would be able to support the Club and volunteer for any of the roles listed below:
Club Secretary
- Organises Committee meetings every 6 weeks; creates the agenda and takes the Minutes
- Co-ordination and chairing of the AGM
- Annual renewal of our LTA affiliation
- Knowledge and understanding of Club rules
- Ad hoc projects
Membership Secretary
- Manages membership renewal process at the start of each year
- Handles new membership enquiries throughout the year
- Membership communication
- Ad hoc projects
Social Secretary
- Develops and implements ideas for social activities throughout the year
- Ad hoc projects
Junior Secretary
- Co-ordinates all junior members’ activities
- Manages junior coaching programme
- Welfare Officer
- Ad hoc projects
As mentioned above, there are several ad hoc projects which are always underway, and which often involve a number of the committee members working on each project; recent examples include: Clubhouse refurb/repairs, new website, branded clothing and dealing with various issues as and when they arise.
Of the above roles, the role of Club Secretary is one of the three Club Officer roles, along with Chairperson and Treasurer, which is required. Unfortunately, Olly, after almost three years in the role, has had to stand down with immediate effect, so this is the role that needs to be filled as soon as possible.
Should you be interested in any of these roles, please use this form to register yor interest, or feel free to drop me an email at
chairman@shiplaketennisclub.co.uk
Finally, please remember that our Club can only function with a committee of volunteers, so please give some serious thought as to whether you can help.
