Shotgun World Cup Volunteers Wanted

The ISSF Shotgun World Cup comes to Dorset in just over a months time and we’re stepping up the search for local volunteers to play a major part in the success of this prestigious event.

The event is being staged at the Southern Counties Shooting Ground near Dorchester in Dorset between 11th and 20th May. With over 400 competitors and an influx of support teams and spectators, there will be an early boost to the local tourist industry. Hotels are already taking bookings, with many visitors combining the event with a visit to the World Heritage coast.

As you’d expect with an event of this size, a major support team is needed to make sure that everything runs smoothly, and we’d like to hear from you if you would like to get involved and sample the thrill of seeing a World Class sporting event ‘up close and personal’.

So if you’d like the opportunity to help out with a variety of jobs including Event Marshalls, Drivers, Meet and Greet, Information Point Assistants, Catering Assistants, contact Event Manager Stephen Minto from Sportworks on 0114 3603606 or complete the online form from the link below.
