The Piano Trust is a small team and would like hear from any volunteers who would like to help during the build up phases and on the day. The attached poster gives more information about the day and  those wanting to  participate best contact the Piano Trust via their facebook page, If you are keen to help us organize the event beforehand  and on the  day email your  name , mobile number to spellbound@xtra.co.nz and we will contact you. Roles will include setting out tables and chairs , staffing entries and welcoming people and maybe an information desk on the day.
