Barry Fulcher, Tournament Director of the ITF Men’s World Tennis Tour event in Norfolk later this month, is on the lookout for volunteer minibus drivers.

Volunteers are needed to drive a 15-seater minibus, between the Post House on Ipswich Road and Easton Tennis Centre between 28 October and 3 November.

If you’re able to help out, please get in touch with Barry as soon as possible on bftournamentdirector@gmail.com. 

Volunteers would follow a schedule of driving two or three times each morning and the same in the afternoon or evening. Aside from that, drivers could relax, watch tennis or disappear as they choose.
