BBC World War One in Colchester: Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 July 2014

Laura Wigley writes: 

This weekend coming the BBC is hosting a big event themed around World War One at Home. We are looking for some more volunteers to help on the day and I wondered if it might be possible to send information to your members to see if they may like to help?

I know it is really last minute (so sorry!), it should be a great fun day, and really interesting for anyone interested in community events and history.

The BBC is taking a project all about World War 1 on tour. The theme is around World War One at Home, so what was happening on the home front, during the war. It has already been on a few dates throughout the East and across the country, and the events have been really well received, with volunteers getting a lot out of the day.

The event is on site of the Colchester Military Tournament on the 5th and 6th July.  Any enthusiastic and friendly volunteers who can help for the day on the Saturday and/or Sunday would be so welcome. It will be a long day (8.30am to 6pm), but the time will fly by, and the BBC will provide food, drinks and reimburse travel expenses.

If anyone is interested, all they need to do is make contact with me, and I will send them the appropriate form to complete and send to the local BBC team managing the event.

Is there any way you can promote this event to your members? If so, please do get the message out on our behalf. We are so grateful.

If you would like to talk about this further please just call or email.

Thanks so much, best wishes,

Laura
