How we run our club
The Club is a member of Volleyball England (the governing body for volleyball in England). We follow Volleyball England’s guidance on running our Club. We have a Committee which is elected at the AGM each year. The Committee meets regularly to shape the direction of the Club and address issues facing the Club.
All of the Club’s activities (and those of every member) are governed by the Club’s constitution which is set out in the Club Handbook and Welcome Pack.
There are lots of volunteering opportunities at the Club. These include:
- scoring and line judging at home games;
- writing match reports;
- updating the website and social media profiles;
- keeping match statistics;
- helping with the organising of teams (such as match confirmations, booking venues);
- running the Club tournament;
- keeping the accounts;
- coaching; and
- we’re always on the lookout for volunteers and keen to hear your ideas of how you can use your skills to help!
Get in touch with any member of the committee to get involved!

Membership & session fees
Each year the fees are reviewed. Any material changes are agreed at the AGM. The fees for the 2026/7 season, are set out in the table below.
For the 2023/24 season, the Committee passed a slight increase in membership fees, following 12 years in which fees did not go up despite inflation. Please refer to Page 12 of the Annual Report 2022/23 (pdf) for further explanation. We have held fees again since this date by negotiating hard with venues to keep costs under control.
