Activities & Shift

For this event we will aim to work 5 to 6 hours a day with evenings and weekends off. However, our weekends may not always fall on Sat/Sun.

Usually we work around 2 hours in the morning and have a short beverage/snack break before continuing for a further 2 hours until lunchtime. So 4 hours on work mornings.

After a reasonable break (minimum 1 hour) we may return to do another 1 or 2 hours depending on what stage of the process we are at.
