Situation Vacant - Photographer
Our Club Meeting Photographers need some additional volunteers. The aim is to have sufficient photographers so that you would only be scheduled every two or three months to take photos at our weekly meeting.
You do not have to be an expert photographer. We have guidelines which describe what is required, and we will provide induction / additional support for all new volunteers. It is a great opportunity to help develop your photographic skills and get involved in recording the history of our Club!
Please advise Jo Mavros in the office if you are interested in this great opportunity.
