| WORLD BLIND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010 |
The World Blind Football Championships 2010 are being held at the Royal National College for the Blind 14-22 August and, to make this prestigious event a success, 65 volunteers are required to help with stewarding, accompanying the teams around, driving, supervising entrances and assisting with hospitality.
Although some people have come forward to help, the FA is still in need of a lot more volunteers so I should be grateful if you could promote this opportunity to your volunteers, family and friends. If anyone is interested, Angela Legg can email them an information pack.
