The Red File

The WAPA Red File is a manual for the administration of clubs. It is provided to help committees run their clubs successfully. It is so named because the original hardcopy version had a red binder.

As committees turn over, many new office bearers find themselves in need of guidance, particularly in respect of WAPA procedures.

 

This manual is aimed at the club committee, although there are some chapters (particularly 5 and 11) which are intended for the general membership as well. The links below will give you all the information you require. Should other issues arise, please contact your Club Secretary or the WAPA Secretary.
