Good morning,

Another shout for volunteers please to help with the Meyrick Cox Day on the 12th of June at Goodwood, Chichester. If you have already got back to me with your availability you should have had a short reply from me with finer details to follow. Still looking for another 15 volunteers please!

Roles ranging from event registration, fundraising, passenger loading, passenger unloading, helmet management, skid pan management, merchandise stand, staffing Lightning McQueen, catering & refreshments and set up on the 11th from 5pm - 8pm. A little something for everyone and the ability to switch between roles on the day.

Please see some rough timings for the event below.

Thursday 11th June

There will bring a selection of nibbles, and the normal lunch will be provided. I encourage you all to bring something if you can, bake cakes, nibbles for everybody to enjoy if you’re able.

We are working away in the background on the finer details of the day, and we are also planning to conduct an online volunteer briefing webinar approximately 7 - 10 days prior to the event to confirm all the relevant arrangements and this will be another opportunity for you to ask any other questions you may have. I will send out the invite for this with as much notice as I can.

As always, a massive thank you from me, this particular event in the calendar is always very popular and impactful with our beneficiary audience and just simply isn’t possible without your wonderful help & assistance.

If you are free on either or both of the above dates then please do let me know, also let me know what role you would most like to carry out and I will slot you in where I can, it’s not always possible to give you exactly what you want but I do try, feel free to give me a few options.

Genuinely looking forward to seeing as many of you there as possible, one of my personal favourite events in the diary!

If you no longer wish to volunteer with Mission Motorsport and longer wish to receive these emails, then please just let me know and I can remove you from our database. I’d hate to see you go though!

Kind regards,

Mark White
