Committee Vacancies

Looking to the future, we need to secure suitable volunteers for positions within the Club’s management structure. If you can offer the Club some of your time and energy, we are currently looking for -

Treasurer
The Club is seeking a trustworthy and organised Treasurer to manage our finances.

The role includes keeping track of our finances, paying invoices, keeping accurate financial records, managing the bank account, and preparing simple reports for committee meetings and the annual general meeting.

You will help ensure funds are used responsibly for fisheries, stocking, equipment, and events. The Treasurer also works closely with other officers to support budgeting and future planning. This is a vital role for anyone with basic financial skills who wants to contribute to the success and stability of a friendly fishing club.

To apply you must have been an active club member for at least two years.

Administrator / Secretary
Hassocks Angling is looking for an organised and enthusiastic Club Secretary to support the day-to-day running of the club.

Duties include handling correspondence and emails, preparing meeting agendas and minutes, keeping membership records up to date, and assisting the committee with organising events, matches, and work parties.

The Secretary will also help share information with members through notices and regular newsletters and maintain important club documents.

This is a key role for someone who enjoys administration, communication, and being actively involved in a friendly and well-run fishing club.

Match Secretary
We are looking for a reliable and organised Match Secretary to run our club’s competitive fishing programme.

The role involves planning and scheduling matches, booking venues, preparing peg lists, collecting entry fees, recording results, and publishing league tables. You will also liaise with anglers, fisheries, and the club committee to ensure events run smoothly and fairly.

On match days, you will help coordinate peg draws, handle any issues, and make sure rules are followed.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys match fishing and wants to play an active role in club life.

If you're interested in any of these posts, please email [email protected] and we'll put you on to the right person who can tell you more. Thanks!
