Club helper update- HUGE thank you!
You may remember late last year we had some club conversations about getting better at providing our allocated club helpers at AV Shield and XCR competitions. We tried a number of ways to do this and after a few attempts at a number of systems, and receiving feedback from members via the volunteer survey, the committee settled on a new system to improve the way we manage our club helpers.

This system requires members to sign up to a club helper duty at the start of season, upon registration. This allows members to choose exactly when they volunteer and provides plenty of notice, and as a club, we now have a fairer distribution of club duties and greater participation and support from members and their families. It has also relieved the committee of the ongoing need to find volunteers on a weekly basis and at short notice, allowing us to focus on other things.

We have used this system during the XCR season and the results are promising. For the first time, our club had a helper allocated to every single volunteer shift for the entire winter season. That is a huge milestone for us, and as a club we should be very proud of that. Thank you to everyone who signed up and completed a club duty this winter, it has made a world of difference for the committee and to those who often filled roles at short notice.

A reminder for members: if can no longer attend on the day you selected, please swap with another club member.

We will continue to use this system over the summer track and field season, once AV make the club helper roster available to us, we will make it available for members to sign up.

Thank you again to everyone who signed up and helped out over the winter, much appreciated.
