It will be the opportunity to meet and discuss with each section of interest – what is involved etc.
The volunteers will be asked to complete a form which would include their preferred area to work in and estimated availability. This will ensure that the section or area will be of interest and an available time for the individual, maximizing their enjoyment in the experience of volunteering at The Hawkesbury Show.
Please also take this opportunity to invite friends or family who may be interested in getting involved.
