Who can volunteer?

Anyone who has some spare time can volunteer to help. Volunteers must be over 18 if volunteering on their own. Volunteers between the ages of 16 - 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on site. Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

How much time does it take?

Volunteers can help for either a half day or a whole day. Some job roles require a full days commitment i.e. judge, judge writer, whereas other roles like gate duty, can be for a shorter amount of time.

Do I need to have any previous experience?

No.  You may have existing skills which you would like to share with us, however even if you’ve never helped out before, there are many roles

with which you can assist. 

Can I bring my dog?

Well behaved dogs are welcome  but must be kept on a lead .

Will I be on my own?

Different roles have different requirements. It’s great if you are able to bring along a friend to assist you, but don’t worry if you’re on your own. If you are not very experienced or confident, we will pair you up with someone else. Volunteering is a very social activity and is a great way to meet new like minded people.

Will I get refreshments?

Yes! Our volunteers are provided with teas, coffees and cake throughout the day. Lunch on Saturday is also provided, there is a tick box on the catering form so you will not need to pay for Saturday lunch. 

What do I need to bring?

You do not require any special equipment for any of the roles at an event. You will be provided with everything you need. However, it’s worth remembering that although the oval track is under cover you still need to walk to it, and we are subject to the unpredictable Scottish weather. Do bring an extra layer or two just in case as well as sun cream are all recommended!
