Club Volunteers

What is volunteering?

Vol­un­teer­ing is about choos­ing to help other peo­ple by giv­ing up your time or exper­tise. There are many dif­fer­ent types of vol­un­teer­ing activ­i­ties and the dif­fer­ent oppor­tu­ni­ties can involve peo­ple giv­ing up sev­eral hours a week, or help­ing at one event when it is con­ve­nient for the volunteer.

Why Vol­un­teer?

Every person’s moti­va­tion to vol­un­teer is dif­fer­ent and there are a lot of rea­sons to make a con­tri­bu­tion to our club’s activ­i­ties. Peo­ple often vol­un­teer because they will:

  • make a difference
  • gain a lot of sat­is­fac­tion from help­ing others
  • meet peo­ple and socialise
  • develop exist­ing and new skills
  • give some­thing back to the sport

If you think that you might have the time to help us then please have a look at some of the areas we would like help with.

Coach­ing

Coach­ing is at the heart of cycling per­for­mance at every level from teach­ing basic bike han­dling skills in a school or club through to train­ing ath­letes for the Olympic Games or Tour de France. There are coach­ing courses avail­able from British Cycling that will allow you to achieve your coach­ing goals; coach­ing at the level you want. Talk to James for more information.

Offi­ci­at­ing

We are always on the look out for club mem­bers and their friends & fam­i­lies to help us with the run­ning of events and with on-track mar­shalling. If you are inter­ested in help­ing, please talk to Chris Werner.
