Durham seek Test volunteers

Durham are urging anyone with a few hours free between Friday 15 and Sunday 17 June to help give visitors to Chester-le-Street for the third Test the best possible welcome.

The Welcome Project will guide visitors from the Chester-le-Street train station and the town centre down to the Riverside stadium. Volunteers will be responsible for giving directions, local information and flyers to the thousands of fans who will be passing through the town centre.

The key times we need support is from 9.00am - 11.30am and from 5.00pm - 7.00pm on Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th June. There will be a rota based on two-hour slots and we will accommodate volunteers as far as possible in their preferred sites.

All volunteers will be given a ticket to a county fixture for later in the season as a thank you for their contribution to this initiative.

For further information, please call Jill Bennison on 07813 922 326.
