CAPITAL LETTERS DAY 2022 VOLUNTEER

Capital Letters Day is the new name for Lay Members’ Day.  We are looking for a volunteer to join the Capital Letters team to assist with the organisation, preparation and running of the event which will take place in May 2022. We are a small, friendly team who would welcome someone who could assist with the planning of the structure of the day, to undertake some of the practical considerations leading up to the event and, most importantly, be prepared to help on the day itself. No special qualifications required; just enthusiasm and ideas. Interested? Need more information? Contact Steve Eades at capital.letters@calligraphyonline.org
