An appeal for practical help
We need your help.
There have been times when we have heard such comments as-
“I didn't think you needed help, you seem to have it all organised”,
or
“The team seemed so well established, I didn't know how to join in”
or
“I didn't know how to help”.
All understandable, as from the outside it may well appear that everything is running smoothly - we at least try and give that impression!
It is however not all as it may seem, from time to time there is a need to recruit new blood, to strengthen our existing teams and give renewed support to the band of stalwarts. If we do not do this we will be in danger of overworking our present support which can only in turn lead to a drop in standards and the loss of enthusiasm. If we are to continue into the 6th decade we must secure new help. We are in particular need of help in the following areas. Neither team require any specialist knowledge.
The Stage Crew/Workshop Team
Only DIY skills and an ability to lift needed. Carpenters, mechanical/electrical engineers, weightlifters or artists, need not be shy we can use all those skills. We even need people to make cups of tea for the workers!
The Dressing and Make-up Team
Requires only the skills of an average parent - clearing up after the kids! Making sure they know where their clothes are, and what they have to wear next! We can train you in stage make-up if interested.
CRB Checks
In order that we can fully protect all of the children in our care, we carry out CRB checks on all dressing room assistants and back stage helpers. This process takes several weeks to complete and therefore we need to start thinking of our list of helpers NOW. Each unit will need at least 2 dressing room assistants and we will not be in a position to accept last minute volunteers. So please, if you are able to help let us know now.
