Get Involved

Volunteers are the BGAs most valuable commodity and are vital in the running of the broad range of activities of the BGA. If you feel you have something to put back into gliding, please get in touch. Current requirements are shown below.

Position Details & Contact
Regional Safety Officer

The BGA is seeking an additional 5 volunteer Regional Safety Officers (RSO's) to provide enhanced safety management support to clubs. The RSO role is key to ongoing BGA and individual member club safety management and also provides a safety assurance function for the BGA as a whole.

Prospective RSO's should ideally have the capability and capacity to visit an allocation of between 5 and 6 clubs on a rotational basis.  They will also be invited to sit on the BGA Safety Committee, and help to establish BGA Safety Management System policy and direction

Applicants for this voluntary role should apply in the first instance to the Chairman BGA Safety Committee via the BGA Office.  A short gliding CV outlining relevant experience should accompany the application, along with a suitable endorsement from either the applicants club CFI or current RSO.

British Team Manager The British Gliding Team Manager, Brian Spreckley, intends to step down from this voluntary role during 2007.  If you feel that you are able to contribute to the continuing success of the British Gliding Team in this voluntary leadership role by maintaining the focus on excellence and continuing to develop our strong competitive philosophy, we would really like to hear from you. Please forward a brief CV including covering letter headed ‘Team Manager’ to Russell Cheetham, Chairman of the BGA Competitions and Awards Committee, via Pete Stratten at the BGA office. 
Team Sponsorship Manager The British Gliding Team will also shortly require the assistance of a Sponsorship Manager. If you have the appropriate experience, skills and time available to join the British Team in this important voluntary role, please let us know.  Please forward a brief CV including covering letter headed ‘Sponsorship Manager’ to Russell Cheetham, Chairman of the BGA Competitions and Awards Committee, via Pete Stratten at the BGA office. 
Environmental Issues Advisor

The BGA will shortly be providing an environmental statement of intent. Within the limitations of a fundamentally volnteer organisation, there will be a future need to advise the Executive Committee on environmental issues that will enable the BGA to provide the most appropriate advice to member clubs.

We would be very pleased to hear from an appropriately experienced individual who expects to have available some voluntary time and the interest to help the BGA with this important issue. In the first instance, please contact Pete Stratten at the BGA office.
