Here’s how to get involved.
Propose a motion for discussion
Your voice can make a real difference in shaping the Club’s future. In recent years, examples of AGM motions have included one to introduce a 3G pitch at Twerton Park, and to ensure that members have the final say on any changes to the cultural heritage of the club, such as badge, kit and name.
Stand for the Society Committee
The Society is the Club’s majority shareholder: it’s what makes community ownership happen at Bath City FC. While the Club Board runs the Club, the Committee’s role is to:
There will be a guaranteed three “open” slots on the Committee, so we strongly encourage nominations.
Committee members serve for two years, taking part in monthly meetings in which they review the Club’s progress on and off the pitch. These are usually held on weekday evenings, and it is also possible to participate remotely via videoconference. Members typically commit an average of 5-8 hours a month to the role. All Committee members will receive induction and training.
We would encourage anyone interested to get in touch with the current Society Chair, Pete McCormack, for an informal chat to learn more ahead of submitting your nomination. You can do this by emailing [email protected]. This will be a chance to hear more about the expectations of sitting on the Committee, ask any questions you may have, and discuss what skills you could bring to the mix. Don’t worry, it will not be an interview!
There's no pressure to take on either of these roles, though, anyone is welcome to step forward and do their bit. We welcome applications from all walks of life, and also encourage people who would add to the diversity of the Committee to come forward.
