YOUR SHIPS NEED YOU!!!
Please see the note below from Waverley Excursions, who are looking for direct assistance from the members of The Paddle Steamer Preservation Society.
I guess some previous bar work / catering work would be helpful, though not essential.
Being smartly turned out, diligent and reliable, however, is.
As well providing much needed assistance to the ship, you will be representing the society. This year, more than ever, we must demonstrate to those who operate our ships for us that we are not merely a bunch of armchair enthusiasts who just go on and on and on and on and on and on about how marvellous it was on the Jeanie/Caledonia/Talisman (Ian!)/Bristol Queen/Ravenswood/Golden Eagle/Saint Columba/insert your own favourite here (delete according to allegiance!).
I’m sure there must be a few members out there who in fact used to serve in these capacities in years gone by aboard Waverley. So, get the rose tinted memory specs off and give it a go!
