Helper Groups

For the ease of operation at events, everyone in the club has been assigned to a Helper Group.

The six groups each have a team leader who is responsible for ensuring the task runs smoothly at the event. Typically, this means members only need to help at one or two events a year, although some people enjoy getting the job done well and the social side of working together as a team, so volunteer much more often.

If you would rather be in a different team - maybe you fancy a change, or maybe you enjoy computer work, so the Results team is attractive, you can ask the volunteer co-ordinator for a transfer.
