Expressions of Interest sought to fill vacancies for Active Volunteers and Trainee Officials.

Are you a go getter or a quiet achiever who likes to roll your sleeves up and have a go? Have you got some hidden talents that you are keen to show us? Do you enjoy working in small teams with like minded people and having fun while you do it? Do you enjoy serving your community? Have you been feeling inadequate watching others do the work in your Club for your rider/s? Would you like to help but want to ‘dip your toe in the water first’?

If you are one, some, or all of the above then - Your Club Needs You!

All of the work required to run this Club and serve our members is done by volunteers. The Club has no paid employees. It is self funded and does not rely on Government assistance. Any assistance is appreciated and a bonus.

Everything you see at our complex was built by volunteers during the last 40 years. Everything that we can ‘see’ in our future, will be built by volunteers. Volunteering is not just your duty, it’s fun.

It’s also a generational thing. Every year new people join in and others retire. Every year new things are done, and new things will need to be done. The work never stops. If it does, so will the riding. We need to keep the work going to keep the Club going. We need a Succession Plan, so here it is!

The Club needs new people to work alongside experienced teachers in small teams to train for or assist in the following ‘stuff’:

· Licensed Motorcycling Australia Officials: Stewards, Clerks of the Course, Race Secretary’s, Scrutineers, Marshals

· Administrative Support: Sign On, Lap Scoring, Collating and Maintaining Point scores, photocopying, processing membership applications, Club Secretary, book keeping, minutes secretary’s, filing and record keeping

· Canteens: Gourmet cooks, stock purchasing, sales, cleaning

· Not so fun: Cleaning, Toilets and rubbish removal

· Rider Training: Coaches and Assistants

· IT & Systems development: Brainy people who build stuff in cyberspace so computers can do the work and we can all have a fat time

Remember this: We can’t spend excuses, only actions, so if you are here, you may as well be doing something useful. It’ll help your kids, and it’ll help everyone else’s.

If one of these jobs sounds like a job for you, then go to Contacts page, pick out someone who does what you want to do, go to the phone, pick it up and call them. Offer to help. They’ll fall over backwards, but when they wake up they’ll appreciate a hand.

Regards,
