Minutes Secretary

• Club Sport Aberdeen

• VO100646

ClubSport Aberdeen is a vibrant body directed by the clubs, for the clubs. As an independent charity, we provide a unified voice for sport clubs in Aberdeen at the top level across the city through our relationship with the Active Aberdeen Partnership.

Our purpose is not only to provide the AAP with club input and a club perspective on arising matters, but also to ensure that Aberdeen has safe, sustainable and supported clubs. It does so by using expertise from within the club network as well as from partners in the wider network. This gives Aberdeen’s clubs the ability to develop and grow their membership, workforce and structure to provide their members with the best possible experience of the sport.

Membership is open to all clubs across Aberdeen, and generally around 70-80 clubs register with us on an annual basis.

The board of Club Sport Aberdeen is made up of a board of volunteer trustees who meet regularly to discuss programmes and initiatives that will benefit sports clubs across the city, which includes projects such as the North East Youth Panel and Active Schools Voucher projects. However, we would be keen to support clubs to deliver projects that also impact on mental health, increasing confidence and breaking down barriers to access sport and physical activity.

The board are currently looking to recruit a minutes secretary to help with board admin. Main responsibilities would include:

• Collect Agenda items and share prior to meetings
• Taking accurate notes as a record of discussion and decisions
• Write up notes with responsibilities and actions
• Distribute minutes to all committee members

Board meetings take place on a bi-monthly basis, with other meetings scheduled as required. Time commitment would generally be 2-3 hours per month, depending on the meeting cycle and membership processing.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference for club and grassroots community sport in Aberdeen. All help is greatly appreciated.

For further details please contact Mark Pain, Support to the Board of Trustees at email: mapain@sportaberdeen.co.uk or telephone: 01224 507691.

Travel details

We currently operate a hybrid meeting programme, with meetings alternating between online and face to face. All face to face meeting venues will be within Aberdeen City, and are currently rotating across a number of venues - including Curl Aberdeen, Sport Aberdeen and ASV-Aberdeen Sports Village.

Support with travel could potentially be provided if an issue.
