We are looking for volunteers to supervise the Exhibition in 2-hour slots from 22nd March to 12th April : Saturday hours 10am-4pm and Weekdays 1pm-5pm. Supervision will be in pairs; so, you will always have someone with you. The Exhibition should be self-explanatory; so, no extra in-depth knowledge should be needed.
