Over the last few years the club has grown and become more successful every year with swimmers making massive improvements year upon year.
The Club has a very dedicated committee and without it the Club would not be where it is today. Sadly the committee has not had any new parents in over 3 years, because of this the slack has been picked up by the coaches, differing their attention from coaching. We are therefore holding a Parents Meeting on Monday 21st July at 7:00pm at the Wigan Life Centre in the small room upstairs and everyone is welcome.
The Club currently doesn’t have a secretary which is a key role for communicating internally and externally. I understand there are some roles on the committee that can sound quite doubting, most roles can be completed during a club session.
Secretaries of old have picked up quite a lot of roles so I have split out a few that we are in desperate need of filling below. Even if only a few of these roles are filled this will help the coaches massively and allow them to concentrate on coaching.
Club Secretary.
