Tuia 250: volunteers needed
Shipshape and ready? Volunteers wanted!
Enthusiastic volunteers are needed for the Tuia 250 commemorations in Picton/Waitohi for the visit of the Dual Heritage Tuia 250 Flotilla, from 22nd November to 25th November.
There are a broad range of roles to be filled: friendly locals are needed to help us manage visitors going on board the Endeavour replica, to check tickets and look after bags, and to be “Ask Me” ambassadors.
People interested in volunteering don't need to have any particular experience or skills, just enthusiasm and commitment. Volunteers will be well looked after and get to be part of Marlborough and Aotearoa’s history!
Interested? Send us a message, call 03-577-9388, or email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz

15.7% ... It is complicated
