Volunteer Helpers Required
Saturday 14th July 2012
We are expecting hundreds of people to attend Sparkle this year and like any event of that size we need help to make sure the day runs smoothly for everyone. Below are details of help that we require, nothing more than an couple of hours at the most, so we aren't asking people to give up even half a day of their weekend.
If you think you might be able to help then please e-mail Jane, (Chief Steward) BUT do think very carefully before you volunteer as people saying they will help and then not turning up or changing their minds is worse than not volunteering in the first place!
Sparkle Stewards - Because of the numbers of people in the Park, the City Council and the Police insist that we have a team of official Sparkle Stewards on duty all day Saturday. Rather than expect anyone to give up their whole day, we thought it would be good to have a team of volunteers working in shifts - so each Steward works for just two hours. Basically the duties involve stuff like directing people to the loos, contacting the first-aid staff if anyone is hurt or alerting the security people if someone is causing trouble (Full info will be provided on the day.) In practice you will probably have very little to do but wander round the Park wearing a Sparkle hi-vis vest for a couple of hours and helping with some litter picking!
Just let Jane know which 'shift' will suit you best:
12-2 pm / 2-4 pm / 4-6 pm / 6-7.30 pm
