Picton Museum wants you!

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

Opportunity of the Week: Museum Host (Sundays)
Location: Picton
Organisation: Picton Heritage and Whaling Museum

Picton is the gateway to the South Island and the Picton Museum is the gateway to learning about heritage. If you're friendly, enjoy meeting new people, and you would like to learn more about local history, then this is the role for you! You don't need to already know lots of history; it's easy to learn as you go.

Volunteers can help with a variety of tasks at the museum, including guiding visitors, answering their questions, processing sales from the small gift shop (books and jewellery), recording basic visitor statistics, and assisting with research requests. This is a great way to learn about the history of Waitohi/Picton and the Sounds, gain customer service experience, and meet new people!

Volunteers will be given all necessary training and will be paired with a more experienced volunteer for the first few shifts (at least).
Volunteers are expected to commit to one shift (two hours) per month minimum.

Alternatively, you can call 03-577 9388 (between 10am and 2pm), send us a message on Neighbourly or social media, or emailvm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz.

Poll: Are big music and food events good for the Marlborough region?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Marlborough has a busy summer ahead, with plenty on the calendar, the latest being the Fruit Loop Festival, as reported by the Marlborough Express.

We want to know: Are big music and food events a good thing for the region? Does the boost they bring make the crowds worthwhile?
