Volunteering Opportunities

Fancy helping out at the Crick Boat Show this year?

If you’ve ever wanted to get involved with a boat show here’s your chance.
 
We are looking for about a dozen people to help with various tasks in the build up to the show, the show days itself and the break-down after the show. Some of the tasks will require some heavy manual work (fence erecting, furniture shifting, pipe-laying, etc), other tasks will be less physically demanding (show programme distribution, seminar theatre support). We are mainly looking for volunteers but there is the possibility of several paid positions for the manual tasks. The build up period starts in earnest on Monday 28th May with the show starting on 2nd June and finishing on 5th June, with break-down largely completed by 7th June.

For anyone who volunteers for a minimum of two full working days we are offering a free family weekend ticket to the Show, plus free camping pitch or mooring slot for the duration of the Show, plus a meal allowance for the days worked, a fixed amount towards travel costs to reach Crick, PLUS a one year subscription to Waterways World.

If you are interested in offering your time to be involved with Crick, write to Sue Ruth at Waterways World, 151 Station Street, Burton-on-Trent, Staffs DE14 1BG or email sue.ruth@wwonline.co.uk with a brief resume telling us about yourself and a note on the type of duties you are interested in. Let us know if heavy manual work is an option or not, the number of days you would be willing to work and whether you would be available pre-Show, post-Show or during the Show.
