Welfare vacancy for club secretary
17th May, 2023
The committee of Armthorpe Welfare are looking for someone to take on the volunteer role of club secretary to take over from Martin Turner who is reducing his involvement due to work and family commitments.
It is essential that applicants are computer literate as much of the role is online based and involves, but is not limited to, arranging player registrations and transfers, communicating with and acting on information from the NCEL, FA, County FA and other clubs.
The role also involves dealing with various regular club correspondence, liaising with the managers of the club’s various teams regarding fixtures, discipline and players, as well as attending club meetings and taking minutes.
Previous experience in a similar role would be an advantage, especially experience of the FA Whole Game System and MOAS, but the current secretary will work alongside the incoming secretary to ensure a smooth transition.
A club spokesperson said: "It is an exciting time to be getting involved at the club with the strides that have been taken in recent years so the incoming secretary will play an important part as the club looks to progress further in the near future."
To express an interest in the position or to request more information please email armthorpe.welfare@hotmail.co.uk.

Thirteen hundred pounds raised at Steve Garner testimonial
17th October, 2022
An entertaining testimonial match for Steve Garner saw the Armthorpe Legends record a 4-3 win over an Armthorpe Welfare XI on Friday night.
The match celebrated ten years for Garner at the club in which time he had made 291 appearances, a figure that would have been even higher were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic.
As is customary in these matches, Garner got himself on the scoresheet, putting the Legends 3-2 ahead from the penalty spot after they had come back from 2-0 down with goals from Gary Collier and Josh Dodd.
The largely young Welfare XI drew level before the Legends grabbed the winner a few minutes from time.
A club spokesperson said: "The match raised a fantastic total of £1,300 for www.walkingsbrilliant.com charity W.A.T.C.H. to go to mental health charities.
"A massive thanks to everyone who attended the game and contributed towards this and thanks to all the players and match officials who took part as well as Andy Butler for managing the Legends team.
"Thanks also to CWE Limited for sponsoring the game.
"Finally, all the best to Steve Garner - we hope you enjoyed your evening and thanks for all your efforts for the club."
