In many respects it has been a successful year for Livingston & District AAC. We were runners-up in the CSSAL Division 2 to gain promotion to the top division; in the FVL we held our position in Division 1 and even challenged for 3rd place in the final match; and individual athletes won 8 medals at national level.

However, the club only exists thanks to a very small and diminishing group of volunteers, and a lack of volunteers will continue to prevent the club and the athletes from achieving their potential.

With the AGM approaching, this is the time of year when we ask you to think about how you can help the club?

Committee

Would you like to influence how the club is run or help with admin duties?

Currently we have no club secretary, welfare officer, press officer, social convener or fundraiser, and the treasurer will be standing down at the AGM.

At a minimum, for the club to operate effectively, we need a new club secretary, treasurer and welfare officer.

Some of the roles could even be split or shared if people are willing to help but with a smaller time commitment.

Coaching

Could you spare at least one Wednesday evening per month to help with coaching?

You'd start as a helper to one of the existing coaches, big groups are easier to manage with an extra pair of hands, with the option to attend an introductory coaching course if you wanted to progress.

There are also many other ways in which you can help the club - a full list of roles is available via the link below.

We really do need more people involved in the running of the club.

Please consider how you can help and speak to Alistair on Wednesday night if you'd like more information on any of the roles or think there is another way in which you can help the club?
