South Shields Golf club would like to offer the opportunity to all members to be involved in the new developments the golf club is trying to deliver for everyone. There are vacancies on main committee and a range of sub committees. No experience is necessary as it is hoped members with an interest in both general business and specific topics areas (as listed below) would become involved and bring with them an enthusiasm and fresh outlook. In return of participating in these groups members will be able to shape the future and steer direction of developments within a keen, supportive environment.
There is an obvious time commitment (and no reimbursement for time!!) although the rewards are plenty. Involvement within the main committee would entail minimum time commitment of 8 hours to include 1 committee meeting per month (please see terms of reference) agenda includes feedback from sub committees, undertaking any matters arising such as members issues and general golf club required decisions.
The sub committees are theme based and meet on a monthly basis.
- New Club House - developing, contracting, planning etc
- New Equality Law - ensuring the equality and diversity legislation is implemented within the club
- Juniors / Golf Mark - supporting SSGC juniors to achieve golf mark accreditation and enable young people to participate in sport
