Keeping very local for first session and will widen for those interested in becoming local ambassadors with further training sessions later. 

 

You are invited to a special event which will take place on Thursday 10th April at 7.30pm. This event will launch the 2014 Season at the Castle.  Attendees will get the chance to have a sneak preview and details of events and fund raising ideas for the forthcoming year as well as a chance to sign up for Guide training sessions.

 Sue Ellis will also launch the local Heritage Ambassadors programme for all those volunteers who would like to undertake some training to become local Ambassadors.  During the last few months Sue together with 9 other attraction providers from Shropshire & beyond have become Heritage Ambassadors for this area.  The idea is for the programme to generate more visits and spending by enabling staff and volunteers to engage, enthuse and excite their visitors to explore more of the area’s heritage and culture. This first session will be a general introduction with those interested signing up for smaller groups training sessions as well as one to one training.
