You will get chance to ask Scott as many questions as you like as he is the one that knows this exhibition like the back of his hand! Maybe even buy his book "Everyday Glamour" as a special Christmas treat and get your 10% discount!
The tour will be no longer than 1 hour which means you can stay for the Volunteers Christmas do that starts at 12 o'clock.
What's involved?
Coming along and finding out more about the exhibition and how it has been developed, whilst enjoying yourself!
Why get involved?
It will give you the chance to meet Scott if you haven't met him already and pick his brains. Also plant seeds with him about volunteering opportunties in his team.
