Jacqui Mustard gave notice on Friday that she was resigning from the Club Manager role she has been performing for the last three years effective immediately. We are appreciative of all the work Jacqui has done for the Club over that period and we wish her well. We are arranging some temporary part time support to help run the Club and will provide an update when we have more details.
As outlined at the AGM this year the Club continues to just get by financially. We are not generating enough cash to maintain the facility properly and that is ultimately unsustainable. The Committee is looking for ways to reinvigorate the Club. Recognising the importance to the Club of its paid support function, the Committee had decided to restructure the Club Manager role to better meet our requirements.
We have created two clearly defined roles - a Club Administrator (to administer the database, accounts, bar etc) and a Club Manager Business Development and Programmes (responsible for growing participation, managing programmes and club professionals and managing new initiatives). While these part-time roles are separate it is possible they may both be filled by one person initially. We want the roles to grow and the separation acknowledges the different skill sets of an administrator vs. business development.
Making changes is not without risk and we recognise that, but neither is continuing with the status quo. These roles will be advertised - see links below. We will establish a subcommittee to meet with candidates and will get some external input into the process to ensure it is robust.
Times have changed in sport, leisure and recreation with more and more people seeking flexible participation options. The Committee is moving to put the systems and people in place to meet the market and reposition the Club from surviving to thriving.
