Volunteering for 2019 / 2020 Sorry, and please volunteer
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2018 11:57 am
Firstly to all those who have already looked at the volunteer registration on BCs website, I am sorry. The Organising Committee agreed and supported that those of us who already give up weeks each year to support the organisation of slalom in this country do not need to apply to help AND be interviewed. But the web form was published without being amended to reflect this and it has taken AGES to get it part sorted.
Some of us on the committee know how much work you all put in, and do not expect you to give up yet MORE time. The form has been tweaked so that you can say 'Yep I know about big slalom events' and a few words to seperate those who know slalom from those who have parked cars before!
So I can almost endorse the form on https://www.britishcanoeingevents.org.u ... teer-here/
The only reservation remaining is the requirement to be over 18. I know lots of people who are under 18 and volunteer at slaloms. I am following this up, but it may be an issue with having a 'responsible adult' so please register and say who your 'responsible adult' will be. If there are still issues, then email me (see yearbook) and I will follow it up.
Bottom line, sorry if the over the top request has annoyed/ upset / p***ed you off. I am on the organising committee for the slalom and NEED good people with a knowledge of the sport so shout at me, complain to me, but volunteer and come and have a good time with the best in the World / Best in Europe desperate for the last chance to qualify for Tokyo.
