Listen "All About the Volunteers"
Episode Synopsis
Join your host, Rose Courteen, at the wonderful Humble and Whole coffee shop and bakery in Rossett, just outside Wrexham where she will be discovering all about volunteering.The Lexus Wrexham Open couldn't be staged without the support of an army of around 80 volunteers who work in a variety of roles including court stewarding, accreditation, and driving the player transport vehicles. Rose talks to Chris Hinks who has volunteered as Transport Manager for many years at this event looking after the players and getting them around town as well as running them to the airports. We'll find out why tennis volunteers from Cheshire are getting involved this year and Rose talks to Amanda Davies from the Wrecsam City of Culture Bid to learn why the Lexus Wrexham Open is such a key part of that project.This is a fascinating insight into what goes on behind the scenes at an ITF World Tour Tennis event and why a small, social enterprise coffee shop and bakery have committed to be a sponsor.So, get yourself a coffee and join in the conversation as we get Wrexham Ready!To get involved and buy tickets don't forget to head to our website at https://wrexhamopentennis.com/
