Most Club Members will be aware of the Duty chart on the whiteboard just inside the main entry door to the clubrooms.

The chart lists the names of all Club Members & a list of tasks that need a commitment to by members in order for our club to run smoothly.

Please remember that we are a club, run by volunteers with no paid staff. All Club Members have a responsibility to help in whatever way they can. Listed below are the tasks that you can help with. If everyone was to tick at least 2 tasks this would spread the load more fairly.

While it would be nice to just “play bowls” if everyone took that attitude there would be no bowls organised to play!!!! Yes, you may have “done your bit” but in some instances that may have been some time ago and, guess what?? Your turn has rolled around again.

If you’ve looked at the list & thought there was nothing there you felt able to assist with, please look again as I’ve added a few more ways in which people can help. In most instances, you would be part of a group.

Regards Sandra.
