Committees & Volunteering
The club is run entirely by volunteers and we need as many of our members to help, as possible. As well as the main committee and several sub-committees, there are frequent jobs, like helping recycle the balls, manning the bar and helping to stock it, clearing up the grounds and helping with various tournaments and events.
Main Committee
The main committee is elected at the annual AGM to manage the club.
The 2025/26 Committee is as follows:
The committee is also supported by various sub-committees who report back to the main committee. If you wish to join and support any of the below please contact us for more information:
More about your Committee
The club rules state that the Committee must consist of 4 officers of the club: Men’s and Women’s Captains, the Hon. Secretary, and the Treasurer, plus between 7 and 20 other members who need not have any specific role.
The Committee meets 8 to 9 times a year. All Committee members are expected to attend meetings and to be involved in strategic decisions about the running of the club. We want to use the wealth of expertise and experience we have amongst the membership, so if you have specific professional skills that may be of benefit, or are simply a long-standing member who would like to be involved in strategic decision-making about the club’s future, please speak to one of the committee.
