After ten years volunteering as club secretary Mike Wilson has finally decided it’s time to take a break so that he can play more bowls and seek even more trophies. As a consequence of this amazingly selfish and rash decision NWSS is now actively seeking a volunteer to step in as Secretary to assist in the running of our supporters club. You will be part of a small committee team who help to run and manage NWSS. Don’t be frightened to apply, we’re nice and friendly.
The secretary’s role primarily involves maintaining the club membership and communicating with them, usually by email. Yes, you do need to be able to read, write and use a computer, if you can’t then sadly being a club secretary is just not for you. We have a brilliantly easy to manage online membership system and a groovy looking website where club news and updates can easily be posted (we have local technical support from a terrific professional web design company just in case we get lost in cyberspace). If you’re into social media then you can also look after our Facebook page and Twitter feed if you like. There’s the occasional letter to write and committee meeting to attend where you’ll chat, drink coffee, eat doughnuts, talk football and take down the minutes. Mike will still be around for a few months yet to offer his help and advice when needed. Sticking his oar in as usual, trying to steer the ship in the right direction to help keep it safely afloat.
The pay is rubbish, well it’s unpaid actually but you will get free coach transport to the Amex on a match day. You would be helping over 200 Albion fans get to the Amex as well as contributing to the well being and future of the club. You will also be part of the charitable donations decision making process that makes a real difference to peoples lives. If you think the NWSS club secretary role is something that might be of interest to you then please do drop us a line and we can have a chat. The interview process is extensive; we ask if you want the job, you say yes and we say ‘Oh, okay then, the job’s yours’. Ideally we need to find a candidate to nominate before our AGM so please email us now.
It’s important to note that we must fill this position as the club will be unable to run without a secretary. Like the treasurer, it’s a crucial role that needs to be filled. No secretary, no NWSS. Simple as that. No pressure then, send us that email expressing your interest.
Please be advised that nominations for persons wishing to be elected to the NWSS committee for 2021/22 should be received by no later than 21 days prior to the AGM which is being held on Wednesday 21st July 2021. Please email your nominations into info@nwsseagulls.co.uk
