John Rae Society Just a gentle reminder, if you can spare a few hours to help us. It normally is good fun and you get to meet some interesting people,
We need volunteers for 7th and 8th of September to open Clestrain for the Science Festival events. Then there’s the 21st, 22nd and 23rd September for the Arctic Return / Hyslop weekend.
The things we need your help with are:
We need the other portacabin’s floor and underneath fixed. We have paint to blend it in, so it could be painted. The lock needs fixing.
The front stair of the Hall needs serious weed killing! The nettle roots are pushing the steps loose.
We have an open day on the 7th September for the Science Festival folk who want to look round on the Neolithic foraged repast day. The morning of the 8th we should be open for those going to the afternoon Arctic/John Rae sessions at the Orphir Hall. We need volunteers there to to sell raffle tickets, serve tea in the intervals etc.
The Fiona Hyslop weekend need volunteers too. We are open at The Hall on Saturday. In the evening Ian Ritchie is presenting his design options for the Hall. The Trustees will see them first,
Sunday evening we have the charity auction in the Gin Distillery. Monday is Fiona’s day. Monday evening we have the Arctic Return presentations. Raffles, serving Arctic Roll etc.
