School Liason
Hi, I thought the role of school liason was to be dropped?
Taking on a committee role
As an individual role, there are responsibilities. As a committee, we are a resource for all in the team; and in addition past committee members normally offer there help to the new~ essential for a smooth transition of the committee after the the AGM, when the newly elected take the reigns.
None more so than the sites officer; in fact the past sites officers have their own club, and act as a pool of wisdom for a current sites officer to draw from.
Past Chairmans,treasurers,membership sec's etc provide the same offer as there are always continuing issues.
If you are considering a role, I'm sure contacting the present committee member would be well received: see the committee page for contacts.

Appointment
A Chief Coach will normally be selected from the ranks of Senior Coaches in a club. This is a club appointment that must be recorded at the BHPA office. A Chief Coach requires a certain amount of administrative and leadership skill. The appointment of a Chief Coach must be based primarily on his or her ability to carry out the responsibilities listed above.
Becoming a Chief Coach
Pre-requisites: A potential Chief Coach must first:
a) Hold a Senior Coach or Club Coach Licence.
b) Possess Pilot rating with good active experience.
c) Be recommended by his/her club. (Chairman’s signature required.)
Membership Secretary
An Adminstrative Role, the responibilities are to recieve membership fees from individuals and schools and to issue welcome letters and hemet stickers.
Club Secretary
The main function of the secretary is to record the minutes of committee meetings and the AGM.
It is one of the required posts by our constitution and by our bankers as a cheque signatury.
If you want to contribute to your club but do not have a particular role in mind this is a great place to start.
Volunteer for SHGC committee posts and/or nominate others here
How about people offer to volunteer for SHGC committee posts and/or nominate others here?
That is the general idea...
So what are all you watchers volunteering to do?
Please note that by failing to volunteer for a committee post you officially relinquish the right to complain about anything they do in the year ahead :0)
Finally, people inevitably get the government they deserve.
