We encourage Club parents from all backgrounds and experience to apply for Committee roles. You don’t have to know anything about running a football club to do some of these roles and you will be supported by current and previous Committee members until you have the hang of it. Please reach out to an existing Committee member or email ramspresident@gmail.com to find out more information.
