What Volunteering Roles do you have? Or have most enjoyed?
|
|
This year I have been President of two societies: Men's Hockey and the Elizabethan Madrigal Singers
|
Why do you volunteer?
|
|
I volunteer because both clubs are very important to me. The musical history of the Mads and the sporting history of hockey are important legacies to carry on. Music is a fabulous avenue to express yourself and to blow off some steam.
Hockey provides a wonderful opportunity to make new mates. Whether its over a pint or on the astro, there's a lot of fun to be had.
|
What is your best feel good moment as a volunteer?
|
|
The best moment for me would have to be organising our successful Christmas concert. We had a packed Trinity Church, and performed an evening of wonderful uplifting music. We got rave reviews and plan to keep that momentum going into this year, and future years to come.
|
What benefits have you gained as a volunteer?
|
|
The opportunity to lead a group can be a challenge, but if you put yourself into it fully, there are many great skills to learn. Being a leader requires great patience. This is something I have learnt is extremely important.
|
What volunteering roles are you looking forward to?
|
|
I am looking forward most to organising our 75th Anniversary concert. It is looking to be a wonderful concert, with some great music. I can't wait!
