As I sit and look back over 2011, I realise that my first year as Chairman has been blessed with strong income, fantastic Events and great enjoyment for our Customers. This has all been made possible thanks to a superhuman effort by many of our Staff, both paid and Volunteer.
I often hear criticism that we "employ too many paid staff".
"Why don't we get Volunteers to do this job, or that job..."
The answer is simple; there aren't enough Volunteers to go around.
But we are doing everything that we can to encourage new Volunteers to join us, and have had real success in 2011. What we need to do is to continue that success in 2012 and beyond.
So if you can do just one more shift, or are thinking about joining us, go on!
Give it a try, we Volunteers can't all be mad.........
