Notes for Group Leaders
Thank you very much for being a group leader. You are at the very heart of what u3a offers.
Your role is not meant to be arduous or a chore, but you need to take care of one or two administrative details.
- Please ensure that all members of your group are paid-up members of Chipping Norton u3a (currently £15 p.a.). This is essential, and most importantly means that your members are covered by the u3a's Third Party Liability Insurance.
- Keep a record of your group membership. Contact the Groups Coordinator and Web Administrator immediately whenever you gain or lose a member; other people may be waiting to join.
- Retain your members' contact details, so that you can keep them informed of meetings, news and changes of plan.
- Make regular visits to your description on the Groups page. Does it show the wrong leader, time or venue, or that you are full when you actually have spaces?
Enjoy your role! And remember that even if you are a world authority in your group field, you are not there as a mere instructor. The atmosphere you create will be that of friends as equals, greatly enjoying each other's company, knowledge and experience.
Inform Yvonne, the Groups Coordinator, and Steve, the Web Administrator, of all changes as soon as possible via the Contact page. We must try to keep our records and website details up to date.
