If anyone has any expertise with PA systems and can recommend a supplier then we’d love to hear from you. Are you a electrician who could be on hand to help and advise? Are you a trained first aider who could be on standby in case you are needed?
If you are part of a local group who would like to put on a display in the arena during the day then we would love you to be part of the day. We also have a few commercial stall spaces left, so let us know if you want to come along.
We would really appreciate any help so please contact us at volunteer@creechpartyinthepark.com to get involved.
