VOLUNTEERING NEWS – THE BIG dps SOCIETY
The new system of the interval refreshments break being run entirely by volunteer members (rather than by people being asked to do it) is going well. Put your name down soon! Everything hinges on people coming forward. No-one will be cajoled, persuaded etc.
More good news – Stephen Bell has stepped up to the plate and will be the new complier of the Hot Dates feature on this Blog
Furthermore, John Clarke has volunteered to be the Blog’s Exhibition correspondent.
Many thanks to everyone.
There is another opportunity – a sound engineer (experienced or apprentice) to assist and deputise for John Attle in setting up and taking down the club night sound system. Applications to John Attle
If you have an idea, or special skill you’d like to contribute to the Big dps Society please email or speak to John Attle and Tony Griffiths.
