Call for any willing volunteers to assist with the activities listed below.  Duties are not difficult! Just manning buildings/handing out leaflets/directing visitors who are unfamiliar with the park.  If you have a couple of hours to spare and can help on the 18th or are interested in helping with future events, please contact Vanda Foster at the Museum vanda.foster@laing.com.  If not, please do pop along and enjoy the free events and spread the word.  Many thanks.
