Samsung Hockey Champions Trophy Women, Nottingham, 2010

You can now register and apply to become a member of the Champion Crew helping the Women’s Champions Trophy event to be a success next year and provide a launch pad for hockey at London 2012.

 

It’s also your chance to get experience and add to your volunteering CV before 2012.  There are lots of roles available in 12 different areas of the event delivery.  Follow the link to see the positions we are seeking to recruit, an outline of the roles, any essential skills and the likely time commitment required.  There are roles that do not require either knowledge of hockey or of the Nottingham area.

 

We have a track record of providing a great volunteering experience, including our highly acclaimed volunteering programme at the EuroHockey Nations Championships in Manchester in 2007. 

 

To quote Vicky Wright (20), one of the EuroCrew volunteers, “I am really enjoying myself, having a fab time and I would recommend volunteering to anybody.  I wanna carry on doing more volunteering after this!” 

 

Let's hope that you enjoy your time on the Champion Crew as much as Vicky enjoyed her EuroCrew experience.
