We are looking for a volunteer(s) to fill a crucial and important role within Barkers Mini & Junior, the Fixtures Secretary Role. Without someone doing fixtures, there won't be any games!
If you are organised, a good communicator and want to make a difference - please let us know. The position of Mini Fixtures Secretary and Junior Fixtures Secretary are available - these can be done by one person or more than one to share the load. Simon Begg has done this role brilliantly for the past how long years but needs a break - he has already got the majority of next year's fixtures arranged so a lot of the hard work has been done.
Details of the role(s) are below, if you would like to know more please contact Simon Begg or Jo Lawson. Thanks!
