Hi All
Just to remind you that the next meeting of the RBL Ollerton & District Branch will be on Tuesday 16th June at 7pm at The Ollerton House, Wellow Road.
Everyone is welcome, so if you know of any friends, relatives or neighbours who may be interested please bring them along, so that they can see what we do and how they can be involved.
We especially need more younger members who want to take an interest and join in.
I hope to see you there

Can you help?

We still have three volunteer positions to fill for this Sunday 👷‍♀️👷👷‍♂️

Without them we have to hold an untimed event by moving Timekeepers to fill these roles 😥

If you can help, are a parent who could or have a friend you could bring to be a marshal for an hour on Sunday morning, please let us know 🤗

You can email [email protected] and we can add you to the roster with the other high vis super heroes 🦸🏼‍♀️🦸

Thanks
