Requests

Volunteer Needed
We are looking for a volunteer to lead on taking boat bookings.
You will be involved in responding to enquiries from the public via a dedicated mobile ‘phone and messaging system, managing a booking speadsheet system and communicating and co-ordinating with the boat team, especially on the days when the trip boat is running.

This role would be ideal for someone who wants to help, but may not be local to our canal, as the whole role can be carried out remotely.
If you are thinking “hey, this sounds like it would be good for me” please get in touch with Derek Flexer for more information. This role could also be role-shared.
