How You Can Help
TASC is a competitive club with well over 250 members. It is run voluntarily by the parents for the benefit of the children. We run an annual Club Gala in November when every
child in the club has a swim, a mini meet and TASC Annual Thurso Meet
where clubs throughout the North District are invited to compete and
also a number of timing sessions throughout the year. These
meets alone require an enormous amount of work by the volunteers
including judges, timekeepers, coaches, pool helpers, administrators and people to help set the pool up. Once
your child is in squads we try to take the children away to competition
as often as possible, to do this we must provide our own officials and chaperones. The
basic day-to-day running of the club also requires coaches, lane
teachers, poolside helpers, committee members and administrators.
We actively encourage parents to become as involved as they feel possible. Please contact any Club Official if you feel that you can be of any assistance to our Club. We try to give as much training as possible where required.
Fundraising
Even
though everyone who helps with TASC is giving their time voluntarily,
we still require finance to cover the running costs of the Club. It is important that we actively fundraise throughout the year. At present we run a 100 Club and regular coffee mornings, we have also held sponsored swims and bag packing days. We are always looking for people to help us with our fundraising events. Please contact any committee member if you feel you can be of any help or are interested in becoming a member of our 100 Club.
