Starting a Club
Planning is the key to a club’s health and long-term future. When forming a club, the following steps should be considered:
- research and assess demand for the club;
- think about how many potential members the club might have and where they will come from;
- promote the idea of forming a club and raise awareness in the community;
- call a public meeting;
- set up an interim committee;
- hold your first general meeting of the committee and potential members;
- establish links with organisations that may be able to help you, like your local council or State Sporting Organisation;
- consider any legal issues you may need to address before forming your club; and
- advertise for members.
