Club Handbook

The Shire has developed a handbook to support committees with the running of their sporting club and to increase club knowledge held now and in the future.

This handbook provides guidance for committee members new and old, assists with the efficient and effective running of your club, and provides support to new committee members during the handover of a role. The nature of running a sporting club has changed in recent times with higher levels of governance and transparency required.
