Free tickets, free tea!

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Devon community group, WI, or other group willing to coordinate and operate an informal tea and coffee table within the Devon Authorities Recycling Partnership County Show tent (2012).

Who are we?

The Devon Authorities Recycling Partnership is made up of local authorities within Devon; and Plymouth and Torbay Councils. The Partnership operates under the Don’t let Devon go to waste brand and funds a series of initiatives aimed at reducing, reusing and recycling waste. See www.recycledevon.org

What are we looking for?

The 2012 partnership tent will host a number of displays including a seating area for visitors to discuss waste issues with staff. We are looking for volunteers to operate a refreshment table during the following shifts on each of the three show days (17^th, 18^th and 19^th May 2012);

Morning shift – 09.00 – 13.00 (2 x volunteers)

Afternoon shift – 13.00 – 17.00 (2 x volunteers)

The successful group will need to coordinate able volunteers to cover the twelve shifts required over the three day event. Each shift will involve making free tea or coffee for visitors to the stand, using equipment provided, and to keep the area safe and tidy.

What’s in it for the group?

Each volunteer will be given a ticket to the showground on the day they are volunteering. This will allow each person the opportunity to enjoy the show either before or after their four hour shift.

Additionally, the successful group will also receive a donation of £150 to their cause funded by the Partnership.

Where can you get more information or volunteer?

If you would like more information, or you are able to coordinate volunteers to cover the shifts above please contact Iain at Devon County Council for a short application form on 01392 383586, or email iain.stevens@devon.gov.uk

Closing date for applications, 3rd February 2012.

The successful group will be selected by the County Show working group.
