Task in hand is to convince interested individuals why they should join/need us whilst providing a interesting and upbeat reflection on your own journey as bait.
It will be a fun day for all as there should be plenty to see when your not on the stand and taking a break. Please put your name forward if you can assist, bearing in mind we can only take around 9 volunteers, so apologies if you are not required due to eager and early sign ups.
