How Does the Committee Work?

The Committee consists of 8 to 12 volunteer members, including Five Honorary Officers and Three to Seven Ordinary Representatives. Positions are elected at the Club Annual General Meeting (AGM).

General roles and responsibilities of the Committee

The role of the Committee is to make decisions on behalf of the members to ensure the club is run properly. This includes facilitating activities that club members want to do, and ensuring that we do everything we are legally and officially obliged to do, as a club.

Given the size of the club and range of activities provided, Committee members can work with a variety of additional volunteers in sub-roles to organize, co-ordinate and provide these different activities for members.

If you are interested in joining the Committee or volunteering for other roles within the club, contact the relevant Committee member.

Honorary Officers

The Five Honorary Officer positions are Chair, Treasurer, Club Coach, Members Secretary and Minutes Secretary.

They are responsible for ensuring that, as a club, we adhere to our legal and official obligations. This primarily means following the rules as set out by the national and regional governing bodies which administer our sport (e.g. UK Athletics (UKA), and the general rules of running a membership organization, which include having our own set of club rules and bye-laws, via our club Constitution and relating policies.

Ordinary Representatives

The Committee has up to seven ordinary members.

They are actively encouraged to participate in committee discussions and activities. Support other members of the committee in their roles where required.
