Further Information
This voluntary role requires a minimum commitment of attending 4 panels per year, but this will vary depending upon availability of other panel members and the number of cases throughout the year. England Golf panels will sit across England at various venues, although the majority of current panels are done via TEAMs. How the panel location is agreed, will be based on the level of complexity involved and the requirement to meet in person.
A degree of flexibility is therefore required.
