Hi,
We are looking for a volunteer to assist John H with the day-to-day admin for the Juniors & prospect Juniors of TVSC.
We have been getting excellent responses from Junior sailing courses & we are looking for a bit of extra help to support John. This support includes, but is not limited to:
Helping Organize & coordinate Junior courses
Administrative support
Assisting with getting more Juniors out racing
If you are interested in sparing a few hours a month to help the club promote Junior sailing, please reach out to charliejberry@hotmail.co.uk with your expression of interest and we can organize a time to chat.
Kind Regards,
Charlie.
