Committee positions becoming available

We are looking for new people to step up, as a number of committee positions will become available later this year. Processing new memberships, organising speakers for club nights, keeping our finances tidy, coordinating transport for club trips, and more… there is something for everyone!

Do you want to…
– help run the club and enable over 600 members to enjoy the outdoors?
– bring new ideas to the table?
– be more connected with the tramping community and club members?
– gain leadership experience and skills that will benefit you professionally?

Most committee positions do not require specific skills or tramping experience. If you are motivated and interested in contributing, there is a role waiting for you! We meet once a month and welcome new members around the table. Handover and support will be provided to individuals joining the committee.

Positions to be filled:
– President: chair Committee meetings, ensure club activities are consistent with the club’s purpose and that committee members carry out their assigned functions
– Vice President: support the President in any or all of their responsibilities

Any nominations or self-nominations for a role should be emailed to Aimee at , before the AGM on Wednesday 7 April.

Volunteering opportunities

If you want to help without joining the committee, there are a range of one-off or regular opportunities to support the club! We are all volunteers and every bit helps. We are looking for people to greet people at the door on club nights, help with gear pick up/drop off, van cleaning, helping with club nights, emergency contacts, lead trips, organise training etc.
