For some years we have considered it inappropriate for us to take on this role since some of our volunteers were threatened and abused on duty. Since all of those involved were of at least retirement age, we felt it was not sensible for us to ask them to volunteer.
I still believe this to be a correct policy, and that younger volunteers are needed for this.
Now that we have the social group, I think that if we ask anyone in the club to consider volunteering, then it should be the social group and their associate members.
