Volunteering at club events

We have lots of different ways you can help with out events or trails. If you are interested in a specific role, please consider the jobs listed below. If you have questions please email us at info@tmb.org.au or come to a monthly committee meeting or check the Facebook group.

All of our volunteers are valued and we thank them with event lunches, dinners, coffees, shuttle days, club BBQs and other freebies, and if wanted they even get hugs.
