Many thanks to those who have put their hand up to assist as a Bar Volunteer, but we still need your HELP!

We are still looking to fill (3) nights during the month . The commitment is only one night per month and if you pair up with someone it's only every second month!

If you cant committ to a date how about going on the volunteer list?   We may call on you from time to time to see if you can help out?

This is a great way to 'do your part' for the Club like so many others have before you. If we don't have volunteers the bar is un-manned and this can be a problem when we have visiting teams and events on at the Club, not to mention thirsty members who need a drink!

No experience necessary and all training is provided and a few free drinks while you're there! Contact Jacqui in the office if interested.
