Wondering who to ask about a club run, joining, kit or helping out? You do not need to learn a committee chart before you can ask a question. Speak to someone at club night or use our Contact page, and we can help it reach the right person. If you would rather put a name to a role first, our Club Committee page has the current team.
Here is a practical guide to what the different roles mean for you. It is a guide to finding help, not a rule that every question must go through one particular person: our committee and other volunteers work together to keep club life moving.
Questions about a run or training session
Start with the Run Schedule if you want to know what is coming up. It is the most useful place to check the planned session before setting off, particularly when a club night is an away run rather than a run from our usual meeting point.
If you are unsure which group to join, what the session involves or where to meet, ask a run leader on the night or get in touch beforehand. Our committee includes a club captain, a vice captain, run leaders and a licensed coach. You do not have to know which title covers your question: tell us what you need to know, and we will point you towards the right person.
Our main club night normally meets at Camborne Cricket Club at 6:30pm on Wednesdays. Some Wednesday sessions take place elsewhere, so it is worth looking at the schedule rather than assuming every run starts from the cricket club.
Questions about joining or membership
If you are thinking of joining, the Membership Application page explains the four free trial nights and links to the membership form. You are welcome to ask about a trial night before filling anything in. A quick message through the Contact page is also helpful if you want to check where that week’s run starts.
The committee has a membership secretary role, but the current committee listing does not name a person in that position. Rather than guessing whom to approach, send membership queries through the club’s main contact route. That applies whether you are a newcomer wondering about a first visit or an existing member with a question about your details.
Questions about kit, club administration or the website
Looking for a club vest or have a question about kit? Our committee lists a kit officer, so that is a good place to start. You can find the current role-holder on the committee page or raise the question at club night.
The chair, secretary and treasurer help with the organisational side of the club. For a general idea, an England Athletics guide to committee roles offers example responsibilities that clubs can adapt. You do not need to decide whether your question belongs with the secretary or treasurer before getting in touch: for general club business or feedback, use our Contact page and explain what you would like to discuss.
Spotted a broken page or an out-of-date detail on the website? Our committee also lists a webmaster. Send the page address and a short description of the problem through the usual contact route so it can be passed on.
If something is worrying you
Our committee page identifies a club welfare contact. If you have a concern about your experience at the club, you can approach that person rather than trying to settle it in a group chat or at the start of a run. The committee page shows who currently holds the role. If you are not sure how to make contact, use the club contact route to ask to be put in touch.
A welfare concern is different from asking which route a group is taking, and it deserves an appropriate conversation. You do not need to explain a sensitive matter to the whole club to begin that conversation.
Want to help behind the scenes?
Committee work is only one way to contribute. Run leaders, people who help organise club activity and members who lend a hand at races all make a difference. If race-day helping interests you, our first-time race volunteering guide explains what taking a shift might involve.
If you are interested in a committee or another club role, you do not have to arrive with a polished proposal. Tell us what you enjoy doing, what you might like to learn and how much time you could realistically offer. England Athletics’ volunteering guidance encourages clubs to take a flexible, welcoming approach. A conversation is a useful first step; it is not a commitment to take on an unspecified job.
One easy place to start
For an upcoming run, check the schedule. For the current names behind the roles, see our committee. If you would like to come along, our membership page explains the trial nights. And if you still are not sure who to ask, send us a message or speak to us on a Wednesday club night. Finding the right person should be the easy part.
