Volunteer requirements

[Wayne Hoskin]

I am looking forward to participating in a Friends work session next year, so I am after any info on participant requirements. I am from Australia so will need to know any specific issues that I will have to address, such as insurance etc.

Thanks,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Others can add what they know or suggest, but here's a link to the 2018 volunteer instructions:

And here's a link to the page where the instructions and and other volunteer info and forms are posted:

I think folks would be responsive to any specific questions you have.

So, not much over 12 months till I get over to C&TS so time to start planning our (3 of us) trip, we hope to participate in a Friends work session, the links Paul posted have been a help but I still have a question or two:-
Insurance, the forms call for private medical insurance, for us coming from Oz is this just adequate travel insurance, or is something with more cover required, I would like an Aussie who has participated to chime in here, I may put a call out on the Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum for Aussie help.
Dates, we need to pencil in some dates, is there any way (or a formula) to ascertain the July/August work session dates so we can start planning.
I am sure I will have more questions to follow, I hope it can be all worked out, if we can't finalise these details we will just be tourists for a week, we are coming regardless.

Thanks in advance,
Wayne Hoskin (aka Wayne from Oz)
