Why do we need you?

Clubs are a lifeline to our members providing invaluable social contact and a way of staying active. Saltash BAPS have been meeting for more than 60 years and are one of our most popular clubs. The group meet fortnightly in Ashtorre Rock, Saltash on Tuesday afternoons from 1.45-3.45pm.

The members enjoy a range of entertainment including interesting speakers and local musicians, as well as the all-important tea and cake. Throughout the year the members also enjoy excursions such as shopping, cream teas or day trips to popular attractions.

  • Arrange transport for members attending the club
  • Assist with the setting up of the venue and any equipment that is used.
  • Meet and greet members and if appropriate guide them to their seats.
  • Help to clear away at the end of the meeting.
  • Supporting the club organiser on the day-to-day running and planning

 

What are we looking for?

  • Good communication skills
  • Warm and friendly manner
  • Punctual and reliable

 

What will you gain?

You will have the opportunity to:

  • meet new people
  • get more involved in your local community
  • make a real difference to the lives of others

 

What’s involved?

  • This is a regular commitment – the club meets fortnightly, always at the same time and venue.
  • You will need to make your own travel arrangements to and from the venue.
