We’re looking for volunteers to help as stewards for the BCO Music Trail at Ruskin Park on Sunday 25 May - 3.00 pm - 6.00 pm. This is a fantastic opportunity to support free live music in the community while enjoying a day outdoors in a beautiful local park.Each steward will be assigned to a different location along the trail, ensuring everything runs smoothly at that location and the point of contact for the musician at that hidden spot. Not difficult but necessary!

2. Take one or two folding chairs to the location you are assigned on the trail 3.30 pm and bring it back to the assigned storage location once finished - 5.30 pm
3. Stay close to the musician on the assigned location while they are performing to ensure a bit of safety for them (and company)
4. Report any challenges or health and safety issues while at the location to Project Manager. (Through Whats App group - you will be added when we start and deleted after event)
The musicians will play music as part of a seek and find game, as participants in the park will have a map, working out where the final performance in the park will take place by finding the 12 locations.
If you can join us—and perhaps bring along a friend or sibling —it would be hugely appreciated!
