Be a part of the biggest motoring festival on the Geelong calendar this November.
Organisers of the Geelong Revival Motoring Festival have put out the call for volunteers, warning available positions are filled quickly every year.
Volunteers can participate in a wide range of roles, including bump in/bump out, crowd control, marshalling, and ticket/gate operation.
Car enthusiast Adrian Cooper, who is a member of the Geelong Street Rodders and also volunteers for the Geelong Museum of Motoring, has been volunteering at the Revival for eight years.
Part of the build team, he is down at the waterfront for the week leading up to the event helping set up fencing and the track itself.
Mr Cooper said volunteers did not need any car expertise to get involved with the event.
“Anybody can help out, there’s always something for the volunteers to do,” he said.
“We’re looking for people to do some of the pit organising; you can be quite involved with the motoring side of things.
“It’s the biggest motoring event we have in Geelong, and I’m quite keen for that to continue, so (that’s why) I’m happy to help.”
The Revival volunteer manager Debbie Van Rhee – herself a volunteer – said more than a hundred people gave their time to help run the event every year.
“It’s just the satisfaction of being involved and giving back to the community,” she said.
“I myself have made lifelong friends volunteering at events, (such as) the Commonwealth Games and the Formula One Grand Prix. And sometimes it’s a great way to see things if you can’t necessarily afford to go.”
