Stewards Rota

If you are unable to carry out your duties on the listed date, please arrange to swap with another member, and let David Bull know so that he can update the rota and inform the President of the change.

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 around the walls. 

• Place lectern and bell in the President’s place, with the other regalia hanging or on shelves 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.
