Blackwood Woodchop and Easter carnival – Cancelled
If you don’t like the heading, then YOU CAN do something about it! Blackwood progress committee as it currently stands is not organizing the carnival next year. We thank all the volunteers that help on the day but the core volunteer committee team have been over worked and are taking a step back this year with the hope of some fresh community members to take over running Blackwoods largest community event. Current members will of course guide and assist.Trentham Spudfest has 19 people organizing the event. I am looking for a similar number of people. I currently have 9 people who have committed to help organize the event. Over recent years the event has been organized by Progress which consists of 6 – 7 people. Too few. I am looking for a team of around 20 to organize next years carnival. With a number like this everyone’s workload would be less, and team members would get a manageable job to do. So, if you have questions or ideas on some aspect of the carnival then contact me and join the team.
If you believe that it is a great event and would like to see it continue contact me to help keep the carnival going. If you join your commitment would start late this year and go through to Easter. You would need to complete a specific job in organizing something, and you would either need to attend team meetings or send a status report on how you are progressing. Perhaps 30 – 40 hours over 4 months. TO ENSURE CONTINUATION OF THE BLACKWOOD WOODCHOP AND EASTER CARNIVAL PLEASE CONTACT ME, ANGELKO (FISH) JURESKO. My contact details are; (M) 0425722613 (Email) angelkoj@gmail.com ANY assistance will be greatly appreciated.
