Vacant Position – Chair of Outreach Committee

The Association is looking to recruit a new Chair of the Outreach Committee. The committee will be tasked with establishing new chess clubs in towns across Shropshire. In particular Ludlow and Whitchurch are 2 of our largest towns who do not currently have a chess club. The trustees believe the growth of online chess and the popularity of all chess means these towns are tinder boxes (especially Ludlow) waiting for Shropshire Chess to strike a match. Your role would be to help get a club off the ground by:

– Identifying a local player who would ultimately take control of the club as secretary. Youwill provide guidance and support to this person until the club is established.
– Assist this person in identifying potential members for this club through social mediaadvertising and other outreach.
– Assist them in finding a suitable venue.
– Shropshire Chess will financially support a new club in its early stages through provision of a budget that you will manage.
– Supporting the first club nights with your physical attendance until the club is established

This is an exciting role which would place you at the forefront of growing the leagues in Shropshire. If you would be interested in this role please contact Matthew Clark or Christopher Lewis.
