GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
WE REALLY NEED YOU!! Call out for 2 helpers 24/25 AVSL season
Athletics Essendon needs you! With only 3 or possibly 4 rounds of AVSL being conducted at MVAC next season, we desperately require 2 volunteers to assist with the oversight of set up (11am-1pm) & pack up (4.30pm – 6pm) – one for each end of the day. This role comes with hands-on training, a written set of simple notes, club support from John Cooper & of course, endless gratitude!! Put simply, if you are not scared to give directions & can get along with a small but enthusiastic crew then this job can be managed by anyone over 18 & just may be for you!
Please contact John on 0414 373 157 or email john.cooper3041@gmail.com for any further questions.
