Para Nationals – Helpers required
Submit your name on form below if you are willing to assist on and around the greens during the event.
We have been advised that Bowls WA will be appointing Technical Officials eg Umpires and Markers. (Some markers will be from Warwick – some names have been provided)
Other General Volunteers (GV’s) are required to help kick bowls, push wheelchairs, and maintain the scoreboards.
Helpers on the greens will need to be in Bowls WA approved uniforms. Friday and Saturday are the busiest days we will need up to 40 helpers, I know that sounds like a lot, but that is what we have been asked to provide.
If necessary, we will ask other clubs to help.
