Job Descriptions
Ringwood Seals is run entirely by volunteers. We always need more help. If you are interested in playing a part in the running of your club, have a look at the job descriptions and talk to Anne or a committee member. We won’t throw you in at the deep end; if possible, we’d like you to shadow the current post holder before taking over. And if you only want to help one of us, that’s fine as well.
