Get involved - join the committee

The committee works tirelessly to make Swanwick the wonderful experience our delegates expect. If you have the dedication to continue this work and would like to serve on the committee, you can see if you are eligible from the information below. Once elected, all members (except Secretary and Treasurer) are able to serve for a maximum of three consecutive years, subject to re-election at each year's School. 

Any delegate may stand for the incoming committee if they have attended the Writers' Summer School on at least three occasions within the preceding seven years (including the School at which they have been nominated and the immediately preceding School). Nominations must:
  • be signed by the Nominee
  • include the signature of a Proposer and Seconder
  • be left at the Conference Office before 2pm on the Tuesday before the AGM
In addition committee members also act as trustees of the school and are required to meet the eligibility criteria set out by the Charity Commission.  Details available on request.
For more information about joining the committee, the tasks undertaken both during the year and at Swanwick, please get in touch.

A copy of the School's constitution and a current balance sheet will be posted on the notice board in the Vinery or in the Information Room.
