**waves arms and bounces up and down** Yes Im in Greenwich too - just on XC day as part of the Technology Team!
I picked up my uniform last Saturday and its not as bad as I thought it would be - in fact I was pleasantly surprised given the number of volunteers that have had to kit out!
SM - Yes Im there PM on the 14th (but you already knew that via FB - dont forget to message me your number and will try and catch up!!)

Hello fellow GMs!!!!
I'm doing 2 weeks from the second dressage day of the 3DE and I'm part of the stables team so I'm hoping to get to stroke some of the best horses in the world! I'm getting really giddy about it now.
I'm collecting my uniform on Saturday and my VST is 15th pm. If anyone's about give me a shout!
I met a fellow HHOer at my first training at Wembley but I'll let Xander find her way here to introduce herself.
I also have tickets to quite a few sessions of the Para dressage so I'm going to see some of the action for the second bit!

Go to www.tfl.gov.uk and try the Journey Planner. You can put in stops and postcodes. They have bus route maps on there too.
Also, London buses tend to be slightly better organised in that they have displays and announcements to tell you where you are and where you are going. Or ask the driver - they are mostly friendly and helpful. As a last resort (and I mean last resort,) ask Abbijay if she can organise a 4-legged lift for you.

He he he
I can't do that!!! Mostly cos there's nothing big or hairy enough for me to want to steal it... (for anyone who wants to see why they're too small and skinny click on the link in my sig)

I think the only gate that we can use as volunteers is the one used for the test event entrance, ie down at the bottom of the Park - the Queen's gate I think it is called.

For those working at the Paras, make sure you take a sandwich with you as you may not always get a meal break. I have just worked at Greenwich & we had several days where we had no breaks in 8 hours! I was an Operations Steward & then worked in the stables for two days (which was better managed). Make sure that you don't get dumped on by those volunteers that are only there to watch the action & make sure you are treated fairly.
I am hoping the new team at the Paras will be better and will look after us properly. I am on "field of play" at the paras & I am really looking forward to it. I can't believe I am sooooo lucky to have been given this post. Is anyone else back of house at the Paras?

After 7 days at Greenwich I will be back of house for 4 days at Paras (Greenwich). Can't wait, I miss the action so much! Agree with earlier comment. I only managed lunch 2 days out of the 7 I worked and ended up taking my own food in and invariably ate lunch during the train journey home!
