Good morning,
INFORMATION AND VOLUNTEERS
The notice below tells you about an exciting event that will take place at the LWT Red Hill Reserve on Saturday 2 July. LAG has taken on the responsibility for running the event. It will be great to see you there.
A small group of us from LAG are working with the LWT and the National Meadows staff to plan the day. We do not know how many visitors will arrive. It all depends on the weather.
What we need now are a few volunteers. The tasks will be helping with the sales of LWT goods and the manning of a stall to give out leaflets relating to children's activities. We also need two or three 'marshals' to give out programmes and to answer very general questions about the day's events.
Some of us will be there from 0930 until about 1600 but I would love to hear from any of you who will commit yourselves for a half day session 0930- 1230 or 1230- 1530 or even for the whole day. The site is remote and the toilet facilities somewhat rural or even alfresco. Plus you will need to bring your own sustenance as there are no refreshment facilities on site. Please let me know if you can assist by 12 June.
Best wishes
Ray
