We require 2 canteen volunteers for the day!

Canteen volunteers get a fence sitter place free of charge in return for their assistance. They will be required to cook sausages & onions and put into buns, make the tea/coffee/milo, heat and distribute the soup etc for an hour before the clinic starts and during the lunchbreak.

They will also be in charge of merchandise sales (items will be priced and on display, you would just need to take the money, tick off a box to show the item has sold and hand over the item).

So we would need our canteen vollies to be able to turn up at 8am, then leave at 4:30/5pm after tidying up the canteen and helping SC people to repack the gear into their cars.

Hmmm, I might be able to help for the day (even though 8am starts make me cry). Good way to sneak into the clinic! Smile

I am not going to be able to make it after all - Pamela the chiropractor can only come out to do my three horses on Saturday, and as we are moving down south and she dosn't travel, I can't make another time.

Crying or Very sad

I really wanted to attend this clinic, but the chiro is more important. Sorry SC!
