Hi All,

Anyone here planning on volunteering for this? I have my selection event next Thursday and was hoping someone who has already gone through it could reassure me it's not horrible!

NAR

They are short on the number required, so just do your best and you should be ok.

Thanks Nar, I thought they had loads more applying than was required. Will cross fingers and go on my charm offensive!

I tried to apply this week, but unfortunately the closing date was *last October*, so is it any wonder they're short on numbers?

Short on an opening venue too from all the news yesterday.... anyone got a big back garden spare

Ah, the joys of leaving Civil Servants to organise something...

(although to give them some credit, at least they've included 2 private sector people on their board)

Two strange things here actually:

1. Their website says they were over-subscribed for volunteers in December. NAR, has something happened between then and now?

2. The official "Entry Book" says the Opening Ceremony will be at Titanic Quarter - I wonder what's changed that they were approaching Ravenhill?

The threat of Northern Ireland's S.H.1.T weather :rotfl:and a lack of covered standing/seating area probably

lisaokane,

Did the whole thing last the full hour? What happens the rest of the time? How "dressed up" where people?
