The Great Tribal Chase - volunteer and have fun!

Good Beginnings is a not-for-profit organisation which helps young Australians who need a hand. Good Beginnings are running The Great Tribal Chase, an amazing race style event, to raise the profile of the tremendous work that they are doing and which they hope will also develop into a fundraiser for them. They would really appreciate help from orienteers on the day of this a fun event aimed at young people and the young at heart. Orienteering will be promoted to all entrants.
As many volunteer orienteers as possible are needed for the day on Sunday 5 May. No special skills are needed, just a willingness to chip in for a great cause and to have some fun. Available orienteers will be assigned check point leader roles. Excellent support will be provided by the event crew.
All volunteers will receive a free Great Tribal Chase entry for friends or family, so you will see them on the day at your check point!
