Thanks very much for volunteering to help with the Gibside Fruit Bowl.

This is our flagship event and makes a huge financial difference to us so thank you.

I’ve copied the list of volunteers here and the map of the course with the marshal points.

I’ve tried to keep everyone as close to last year’s positions as possible- it makes it much easier for everyone.

We will have a briefing at 8am so please try to be in the main square at GIbside for that. You will then be show to your points by Eric Stamp and Dave Anderson.

Please car share and if possible, park off site. Unless you are a National Trust member, you will be charged £3 to park there (which we will reimburse).

If you haven’t said you are available, you are still welcome to come along. If you can’t see you name there sorry if I’ve missed it, you’re still in the plans!

If you have any questions about the event. Please ask.

Thanks very much

Aidan Hughes
