Clubs - How can you help your members?
Apr 01, 2020
How can you help your members?
As your club deals with the current COVID-19 restrictions, you need to start to plan for the future of your club, remember who you are doing it for; the club members. Do you know what they want from the club? What do you need to do to adapt to the current restrictions? Now is potentially the time to reflect and give everyone the chance to put new ideas on the table whilst normal club activities are reduced
Ordinarily perhaps you could organise a get together of a cross section of the club including the different disciplines, age groups, etc. At present perhaps you could produce a survey or have an online meeting
asking questions to find out if the membership still has the same aspirations and vision for the club or if there is a new direction the club would like to travel.
To help you get started, here are some suggestions for easy to use survey tools…
Do you have any alternatives? What have you learned about your club membership during this time? Anything positive to help others please post on our facebook page
and share with the wider community.
