Volunteering Opportunities

Our club is run for members by members. We employ no staff, so rely entirely on the voluntary effort of our diverse and growing membership. Can you give some of your spare time to help make the club tick?  We need both women and men members to step forward and fill important club roles in a number of areas:

• General committee members
• Website editor
• Tour Leaders

You can find out more about these roles below:

General committee members

A good way of getting involved is to be a general member of the club committee. The role provides a great insight into the running of the club and the experience gained can often help in taking on other roles in the future. This year, we have up to four places available. The role combines getting involved in delivering club priorities with providing advice and support to officers and other committee members. The role description is available through this link: general committee member role. It would be great to see more women and younger members stepping forward. Also, if you have a particular interest in supporting our youth & diversity initiative or have good experience in web design and/or developing good web content, that would be very welcome.

If you're interested in this role, please contact Richard Davison (president@eagleskiclub.org.uk), Graham Dudley (vicepresident@eagleskiclub.org.uk) or Juliet Benton (secretary@eagleskiclub.org.uk). 

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.

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 John Hayward who is our leader development coordinator by email at: leaderdev@eagleskiclub.org.uk.
