When Arriving

When arriving at the Games, go to the volunteer tent where you will be issued with your identification details of what your role for the day will be.

Food and Drink

Some refreshments (fruit, sandwiches and water) will be supplied throughout the day. A canteen will be operating on both days. Light food, snacks, drinks, tea & coffee available.

Important information for volunteers

If you have volunteered previously you will be aware how congested it can become as volunteers arrive each morning to sign on. When you or your organisation have definite numbers and/or names of volunteers it would be helpful if you could advise us of this as well as any preferences for sporting stations you may like to work at. This will enable us to allocate people to areas in advance. Whilst we will attempt to consider your preferences and to allocate you to the requested areas, I’m sure that you will understand that we may need to allocate people to other areas to ensure we have adequate numbers at all the stations.

Without the continued support of all our volunteers the Challenge Games would not be the success it is. We appreciate your support again.
