CT MG CLUB BRITISH BY THE SEA 2023 REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEERS
In an effort to make the CT MG Club’s 2023 British By The Sea Gathering run smoother, and to make the volunteering and positions easier to understand, we are going to use this Volunteer sign up system that was started last year.
For those Club Members who have not already signed up for a Volunteer Position for the British By The Sea weekend, please read the volunteer descriptions that are attached below to familiarize yourself with the various Crews and Positions that need your help.
The Volunteer Positions are divided up into (5) Crews, with 2 shifts in each. The suggested shifts are 8:00 -11:30 and 11:30 -3:00. Actual times are up to Crew Leaders discretion. Each Crew has a description of the various positions within that Crew. Decide which position and shift that you would like to volunteer for, contact the Crew Leader by phone or E-Mail, and he will add you to the list. Please show up 15 minutes before your shift.
PLEASE NOTE:
The following positions are not included in this sign-up system, and will be crewed with the usual “show up and volunteer” efforts;
Registration Tent Contact Annie Wincze MGTDANNIE@GMAIL.COM 860-693-4249
Saturday General Help; There are a lot of small things that have to be done throughout the day, so we are asking that you take a nice drive down and lend a hand.

If you have general questions about BRITISH BY THE SEA please contact Steve 860-693-4249 MGTD52@COMCAST.NET
The success and future of our British By The Sea Gathering is directly dependent on having enough Volunteers to share in all of the work.
Thanks, Steve and Annie
