2.2 - Volunteers


Volunteers

In addition to the core organising team almost every event relies on the support of a large number of volunteers to carry out an extensive range of tasks.  The volunteer roles depend on the discipline and scale of event but may include:

  • manning the show office/secretariat
  • building courses and setting up the field of play
  • fence/obstacle judges for eventing and driving
  • writers/scribes to work with dressage and Vaulting judges
  • members of the stable management team
  • working in the press office
  • stewarding/directing spectators
  • managing vehicle flows and car parking.  

The total number of volunteers will vary hugely from perhaps as few as 20-30 for a very small newly established single discipline show to over 1000 for complex events with large numbers of spectators, media and mutiple fields of play.
