We urgently needs volunteers to help with the administration of the
club. It doesn't need to take over your life just a few hours now and again.
So why not give something back to the local community and do something to
really help the Wanderers and Belles.
The Mulbarton Wanderers committee has the following positions which must
be filled to enable the club to keep running. If you feel you would be able
to help please let either your manager or parent rep know. The committee
meets once a month at the World’s End, so an excuse to get out of the house
and down the pub.
General Secretary
The General Secretary is the single point of contact for the club so
all “official” contact with the club comes through this person. This is
generally in the form of correspondence from the leagues and the FA
regarding rule changes, news and disciplinary matters, but also involves
contact with other bodies such as the local councils, village hall, and
suppliers like our insurers and Norse who cut the pitches and mark the
lines. While the General Secretary deals with some of these directly
they are generally just a “post office”, passing the correspondence on
to Managers or other committee members to action. The General
Secretary’s details are published in league and FA directories so you
can expect some telephone calls from time to time as well. Increasingly
contact is via Email so access to a computer is essential. At the core
of the job is making sure the club is correctly registered with the
Football Association, and the leagues and mandatory insurance is placed
each year.
Fixture Secretary
This job is all about making sure that all our teams have a pitch to
play their games. When the general secretary registers teams they will
point out to the leagues which teams share a pitch. When the fixtures
are published the teams are then kept apart; so at the start of the
season this job generally looks after itself. However, once the bad
weather comes in January and February there is the need to rearrange
games. The league will inform the club of any fixture changes and it’s
the Fixture secretary’s job to make sure these don’t result in a clash.
Registrations Secretary
It costs a fair amount of money to run this club and while we get
some sponsorship and help the majority of the club’s funding comes from
making sure all our players are registered and have paid their subs.
Team managers are responsible for this but coordinating the information
and maintaining a list of who is registered is the job of the
registration secretary. It involves issuing and taking receipt of the
clubs registration forms, logging players’ details and chasing up
managers where there are gaps. At the end of each season we also present
trophies for appearances and recording this information is part of the
job.
Minutes Secretary
Communication across the club is a hard job and one we can always
improve. The time for discussing matters affecting the whole club is the
monthly committee meeting to which all members (and parents of youth
players) are welcome. Recording the decisions taken and actions required
is the job of the minutes secretary.
