Ongoing: Venue liaison

Sheffield

• You'll arrive at 6:15pm, meet the venue staff and sign in for our booking, and take responsibility for the lift key.

• You'll check the toilets are unlocked, including the accessible toilets on both floors, and that the raked seating has been fully retracted.

• You'll make sure there are enough chairs in the hall for the whole choir, and let the venue staff know of any problems so they can resolve them.

• Occasionally, the school audio/visual systems have been left on when we've arrived (resulting in a high-pitched buzz in the overhead speakers, or the projector shining a bright light onto the stage) - you'll switch these off if they've been left on (which may require getting the site staff to give you access to the control room at the back of the hall).

• You'll ensure the lift key is returned to the site staff (usually by leaving it on the table in the hall after everyone who needs it has used it).

• You'll need to be pretty confident that you'll be attending the majority of sessions, and happy to co-ordinate with another volunteer to cover sessions you aren't able to attend.

Lincoln

(Not currently needed, but may become needed if/when we find a session leader in Lincoln)

• You'll arrive at 6:25pm, make sure the room is unlocked, and that the tables and chairs are against the walls.

• Check that all the lights work and are on, and work with venue staff to resolve problems if any arise.

• On occasions when we need to be in The Venue rather than the Robert Hardy building, you'll arrive at 6:15pm, turn on all the lights, and check with venue staff that they've disabled the alarm on the fire exit before opening it.

• You'll turn off the lights and close up at the end of the night.

• You'll need to be pretty confident that you'll be attending the majority of sessions, and happy to co-ordinate with another volunteer to cover sessions you aren't able to attend.
