Neil Birkitt
	Hi, my name is Neil Birkitt:  I have recently started my role with the DCB as their Volunteer Coordinator. My role will involve numerous tasks including helping clubs recruit, retain and reward volunteers. Volunteers are the life blood of any club and without them we would not be able to enjoy the game that we love so passionately.  I got into volunteering whilst at the local sixth form college by officiating at a local Triathlon for primary school kids that was set up by steel giant Corus. I got the volunteering bug and then went on to volunteer at the ICC World Twenty20 in Nottingham during 2009 and the Tour of Britain cycle race at the opening stage in 2009 which was held in Scunthorpe. I hope to meet you all soon and look forward to helping clubs recruit volunteers and making your club the best it can be. Contact Neil on 01332 388131 email: neil.birkitt@derbyshireccc.com
