Buddy up for new members

Tags:

A Club buddy scheme has been introduced to enable new members to become familiar and comfortable with the Club quickly and easily.

A buddy will be assigned to each new member when they join for a period of a year. The coordinator of the system, Jeremy Burnett Rae, will try to match buddies for age, work or home location and specific interests or requests.

A questionnaire will be developed for buddy volunteers to fill in so these details are known.

The new buddy will:

  • exchange contact details
  • meet up and go through new members guide with new
    member
  • get to know new member
  • learn what aspirations and expectations the new member has on joining the Club
  • encourage the new member to try all Club activities once and be there to meet new member if possible
  • keep new member informed about Club activities and help with administration to sign up.
