Somerset County NEEDS a County Coaching Officer.
At
the AGM Doug Human stood down as County Coaching Officer after many years of
service to the County. There were no nominations for the post and so at present
the county has no County Coaching Officer. The post holder doesn’t have to be a
coach, although it would be advantageous.
Perhaps a retired coach would like to get involved again? The main
requirement is enthusiasm and time. If you would like to volunteer for the post
or find out a bit more before deciding, please email

Spam!
Unfortunately our website seems to have been found by one or more
'spam-bots' and as a result all the email addresses that were published on this
website are now receiving a lot of un-wanted Spam emails. I have
therefore been forced to allocate new email addresses to all the committee
members so that the genuine emails have a chance of getting through.
Therefore if you had any of the old addresses saved in your email client
please check the Who's Who page for the new addresses. I have changed the
way email addresses are displayed on the website to make it harder for the
'spam-bots' to extract them - hopefully this will not affect any genuine users
from using the website.
