Volunteers needed! Could you help?

13 April 2023 | Jim Garside
Volunteers needed! Could you help?

Wilmslow Hockey Club is run by volunteers on behalf of all members.

We need new volunteers to help run and develop the club next season – and replace several volunteers who have already made their contributions and are standing down from the committee at the AGM on 14th May.

Please could you support the club and your fellow members by offering your time/skills/enthusiasm next season - even if on a very occasional basis?

There are a wide range of roles and tasks that need doing – see list below.  If you don’t feel able to take on a full role, could you share or play part of a role? We can break the roles down into smaller parts and provide support and training for each role.

If you might be able to help, please get in touch to find out more.

The positions below must be elected at the AGM (by a vote if there is more than one candidate).  We would like to have a full set of candidates ahead of the AGM.  We’ll update this page on the website as we confirm candidates.

We are also looking for new umpires for next season.  Would you be willing to take the training and start with a few junior or lower league games?  If so, the club will help.  Please get in touch!
