Horsell Village Show – appeal for volunteers

Readers of The Resident magazine will have seen the report and photos of our successful Horsell Village Show at its new venue last July. This year the show will take place on 21st July 2012.

As you may have noticed we have the space for a number of marquees, which are of course needed to accommodate the show entries, without the Village Hall in which to place the exhibits.

We were fortunate enough to have the Thursday afternoon and all day Friday to erect the marquees and set up the tables this year.  For 2012 we will not be able to gain access to the grounds until midday on Friday July 20^th.

We are therefore launching an early appeal FOR YOUR HELP! If we could have some strong arms to help us erect the marquees on the Friday afternoon, that would be just wonderful. As an incentive, we are even prepared to offer helpers a refreshing pint for their trouble!

If you are willing and able to offer your services, please telephone me on 01483 855108, or send me an email. The email address is: repiper@hotmail.com.

For those of you without such strong arms, we still need more help the day before the show with setting up tables. If you are able to volunteer your assistance please contact me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope to see you in 2012!
