A coffee morning for those interested in helping at any of Berwick’s autumn festivals in September and October is being held on Saturday 6th July 2019, from 10.00am to 12 noon, in the Guildhall.  It is an opportunity for volunteers to find out what is happening and what help will be needed at them.   Heritage Open Days, for example, on 13-15 September will again be offering access to a wide range of buildings and sites, and plenty of stewards will be required to help keep them all open.  

Come along and meet the organisers, and let them know if you will be able to provide assistance.
