Committee vacancies

The Committee looks after both day-to-day running of the Friends, and also puts on a range of activities and initiatives through the year.  We currently have a couple of opportunities, one to replace our execellent Secretary who has had to step back for personal reasons, and the other for Communications. Like other Committee roles, these are voluntary. In both cases, some previous experience is always helpful.  But there's also plenty of scope to build up new skills and knowledge, and make the role your own.

Floats your boat? If so, please do get back to us.  We'll be happy to have an initial chat without commitment either way.

Secretary

Main activities and responsibilities include:

• Taking and writing up minutes at our various Committee and Public meetings - around 8 per year in all.  
• Routine emailing
• Booking meeting rooms
• Keyholder
• Liaising with the rest of us, and mopping the co-chairs' fevered brows occasionally!

Use of a PC or Mac equivalent is essential, as is reasonable knowledge of Word and Excel (we can help fill in any gaps).  

This will initially be a co-opted role until the 2026 AGM.

Communications Coordinator

Shout from the flagpole (or maybe just the rooftops...). This will be a new role, to act as a central point of contact for all our digital and other communications, as we enhance and develop the Rec as a community resource and a haven for wildlife. Equally, there'll be plenty of scope for you to enhance and develop the role itself in line with our aims.
