Sustrans @ Discovery Day- Can You Help

Early October has seen the Grantham Canal Discovery taking place for a number of years now and every year we have always been invited along and take part. And once again we have been asked back again this year by Tony and Rosemary of the Grantham Canal Society of whom it is organised and run by.

Well I have said yes we would very much love to go along and have our maps, etc. and we have just been given permission to have a donations box and able to sell small items such as bells, snap wraps, saddle covers, etc. and will be another feather in our cap in have a second event this year we can visit, the first being the Green Fayre in Wyndham Park in August to which I am very grateful for those that was able to help out on the day, it was a huge success for us in terms of getting information out and raising over £58.

The event will be on Sunday 11 October in the old Carpenter's Shop grounds behind the Dirty Duck PH at Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir as usual from 10:00- 16:00. A number of groups and entertainment will be on as well as refreshments, a barbecue and a WW1 Field Kitchen so plenty to see and do on the day.

So it is now time to ask if any of you can help volunteer on the day at our stand, there will be no Spin Art Bike this time but our information stand will give good opportunity for us to talk with the visitors and let them know about Sustrans and the NCN. As with the Green Fayre I think it's best to split the day up into 3 shifts as follows.

1: 09:30- 12:00
2: 11:30- 14:00
3:13:30- 1600

If you could let me know ideally within a week if you could help out and what time window (see above) would suit you. If you find that more than window suits then do please let me know, as I am sure you appreciate we need to spread man power across the day and don't want a situation of being over run. An average of around 2-3 is generally enough for the space we have.

P.S. If any of you wish to print and display a copy of the poster say at work, local shop, etc. then please do get in touch and I can email you a copy.
