IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY A MEMBER OF ANY COMMITTEE OF THE CLUB YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THIS MEETING IS VITAL.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS WHO RUN OUR GREAT CLUB YOU ARE ASKED TO COME TO THE MEETING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT MIGHT INVOLVE.
WE WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE MORE PEOPLE HELPING OUT THAN TOO FEW AND WE ENCOURAGE NEWER MEMBERS TO GET INVOLVED AS SOON AS THEY CAN – WE NEED FRESH IDEAS.
ALL OTHER CLUB MEMBERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO ATTEND SO THAT YOU CAN SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO ALL WORK VERY HARD ON YOUR BEHALF TO MAKE THIS SUCH A SPECIAL CLUB TO BELONG TO.
