Volunteer Coffee Morning, Saturday 14 March, 10 AM.
Volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do to help your local community.  The Friends of Metheringham Airfield (FOMA) maintain and run Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre which utilises original WW2 buildings on part of the former airfield, RAF Metheringham, near the village of Martin. We are now recruiting volunteers for the new season. FOMA is keen to encourage volunteers who are interested in supporting the work of the Friends and Trustees of the former RAF Metheringham and the visitor centre, which is an accredited museum. Join us at our coffee morning to find out more. We have the following vacancies:
  • Stewarding - do you like meeting people, have a keen interest in history, or have experience in a retail environment?
  • Marketing - do you have a flare for promoting activities via social or print media?
  • Fundraising - are you keen to help us raise funds and have experience of doing so for heritage sites or museums?
  • Catering - can you help our catering team to provide refreshments when our hall is hired out?
  • Archivist/Librarian - are you a skilled administrator or are you good at organising documents and books?
  • Education - are you a retired teacher, or have you worked with children?
  • General Volunteering - do you just want to help where you can to keep the memory of those who served at RAF Metheringham?

With the visitor centre now closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, the 2020 lecture programme has now been suspended until further notice. We will try to ensure that as much of the programme as possible can be delivered later in the year once the centre is open again. Take care. Keep safe. We hope to see you all again soon.
