Stewards Rota

When it’s your turn to be a Steward...

• Arrive by  about12 noon, to have the hall ready for use by 12.15. 

• Hang banners on the wall behind the President's table. 

• Place lectern and bell in the President’s place, with the Rotary Wheel hanging on the wall behind his chair. 

• Ensure that the Visitors Book is open on the table just inside the hall with the box containing members’ name badges alongside. 

• Check table settings to ensure they are appropriate for the proposed meeting. 

• Welcome visitors, and ask them to sign the Visitors Book. 

• Introduce them to other Club members, including the President. 

• Suggest to members that they offer to host our visitors at their table. (This is important if they are strangers to our Club.) 

• Place plastic box with raffle tickets, alongside President's lectern, together with the bottle of wine for the prizewinner. 

• Put away furniture and regalia after the meeting, and make sure no personal possessions are left behind. 

• Decide which of the two of you will do the following:

   Sit beside the speaker at top table. 

   Propose a vote of thanks when called upon to do so. 

   Write a report, preferably the same day, for the Club website.
