Have Fun Be a Volunteer!
- Are you travelling to Grand Prix to support your
family and/or your friends?
- Would you like to recoup some of the expense of going to Grand Prix?
- Wondering how to fill in all day, every day?
- Would you like a ring-side seat?
- Would you like to be fully involved?
- Would you like to be a major contributor to the smooth running of Grand
Prix?
If so, how about volunteering to be a scribe and/or scorekeeper?
Not only will you be appreciated by every Competitor, but ADAA is willing to pay
$200 to any person who volunteers and helps on all four days.
Never been a scribe or scorekeeper. Do not let that put you off as you will have
the opportunity to be fully trained before leaving for the Grand Prix.
On top of all that you will be given regular breaks and have time to wander
round and explore the wonderful new complex, chat with friends or even just do
nothing.
Do not want to commit to all four days, just let us know what you are prepared
to do as every little help ensures the load is spread.
Interested? Of course you are. Just email Sharon Dungey, the volunteer
coordinator, at
mike_shar@bigpond.com as soon as possible.

Meals: Corey’s Caterers will be catering for the
weekend, which should ensure that you have a stress free weekend. To make life
easy and so you do not have to decide months in advance what you will feel like
eating, they will run a Snack Bar for the weekend serving from Breakfast till
Dinner time. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be available as takeaways with the
exception of Sunday Evening when it is Party Time and we are having a Spit Roast
Buffet. This needs to be prepaid on your entry form, as we have to know exact
numbers.
Inside the centre is a licensed premises with a Bar, so you may purchase a drink
to have with your meal while enjoying the Agility. We are arranging for the bar
to be open in the evenings. The alcohol restriction only applies within the
building (no alcohol may be brought into the building whether or not the bar is
open). Alcohol restrictions do not apply in the camping area.)
Special Dietary requirements: These can be catered for (coeliac, gluten free, allergies). As this requires special preparations and purchases these meals will need to be pre-arranged. To do this you must email Lynell Gallagher on or before 24 September 2010 (lynell@gallagher.id.au) to organise your special needs from the Snack Bar. The Buffet Dinner on Sunday will have alternatives for Vegetarians but please indicate your requirements on the entry form so we can organise sufficient Vegetarian fare.
Sunday Night is party night. This year we have organised a Spit Roast Buffet and Dance Party. We are planning great music so come and have fun and dance your Agility stiffness away!
Theme: “Urban Cowboy”. Feel free to dress to the theme or simply come as you are and join in the FUN.
