Website Editor
If you're interested in helping develop and improve what we say on the club website and what the website provides for our members, this is a fantastic opportunity to get involved.
Our website is a vital resource for members. It's also our "shop window" - where prospective members find out more about us. The website acts as the Club library and underpins our communications. The Website Editor looks after the appearance of the website and its content. The editor works closely with the IT Officer, who looks after and improves the technical operation of the website. If you're interested in the role of Website Editor, please contact our IT Officer, Stuart Cunningham, by email at: internet@eagleskiclub.org.uk or the Communications Secretary, Dennis Mooney, by email at: comms@eagleskiclub.org.uk.
Supporting our centenary
Planning for the Club's Centenary is now in full swing, with teams of enthusiastic volunteers already assisting with the arrangements for the different events and activities to take place in 2025, including commemorative merchandising and the organisation of our celebratory centenary meet in Arolla. However, more support is always welcome, and in particular we'd love to hear from anyone with the following expertise:
- Design layout skills (or enthusiasm!) to work with the Club Archivist to create some display posters with material on the history of the club, which can be shown at the various events during next year. Please contact John Barnard: archivist@eagleskiclub.org.uk
- Experience in audio-visual specification and/or technical management suitable for a conference space of approx 160 people, to support with the Ski Touring Symposium in November 2025 - please contact Declan Phelan: symposium25@eagleskiclub.org.uk
Potential Tour Leaders
The club needs a steady flow of new leaders each year to maintain the club touring programme. Age or gender is never a barrier to leading and we particularly welcome younger enthusiasts to balance the profile of the leader team. We are looking for people who are keen, fit and safe mountaineers and have a positive attitude to building a team with shared objectives. If you're interested in becoming a future tour leader, please contact Dave Palmer who is our leader development coordinator by email at: leaderdev@eagleskiclub.org.uk.
