Tennis Club (RUMS): Treasurer

I had loads of fun serving as social sec this year and organising fun events for our club. From planning tour to various dinners and crawls, this role provided me with an opportunity to develop my organisational, budgeting and publicity skills, which I believe are transferrable to the position of treasurer. I hope to support our club from the admin side so we can continue to grow and smash it in the leagues!

My experience as Women’s captain over the past year has fostered strong organisational and communication skills which will be essential for managing the club's finances. I have gained an insight into general squad finances and taken part in RUMS Tennis development meetings with the Student Union: as a result, I comprehensively understand the future needs of the club and strive to fulfil this.

My involvement in both the squad and social scene has given me a unique perspective on the actions that need to be taken to benefit all members of the club. I am committed to the discussions that have been had with current committee concerning our goals and general financial sustainability. I believe my experience, reliability and dedication make me an excellent candidate (just ask Maxi or Bernardo, I pay our household rent and bills).

In my role as Treasurer I would aim to:

• Action discussions from this year to block book courts. I will explore options of training at Lee Valley so that Squad gains some stability for next year. I believe this will greatly benefit attendance, team spirit and performance.
• Continue work to look for sponsorship and further the work done by previous treasurers on this front. I will get in touch with Alumni or UH Tennis connections for advice and financial opportunities.
• Try to keep membership costs as affordable as possible in the current climate and throughly promote SU participation funds to ensure the club remains accessible to all.
