Welsh Masters Athletics are looking for some new field volunteers to help-out at some future WMAL championship events. 

Chris Pruski from WMAL says he is looking for at least ten new recruits to assist him at various events and confirmed that he is now able to offer some special incentives, such as special Tempo time credits! 


He explained: “I set up Tempo time credits to recruit volunteers for WMAL champs, however with so many cancellations this season, I was unable to recruit any. 

“I would like to recruit at least ten for indoor events, and then for next season. WMAL will need admin, as well as field volunteers.

“The volunteers can sign up (*via the link below), attend our events, and then obtain credits to the available offers including days out, shopping, or whatever else is on offer. I would very much like to get at least ten people signed up so that I can contact them and train them in time for our events.”

*Earn Tempo Time Credits 
by giving your time to good causes
*Use Tempo Time Credits
to have fun with family and friends

Contact Chris Pruski via Facebook or email: cpppruski@hotmail.com

 

*This is the link to register for Tempo credits and find out further information:
