New Volunteer Manager For Warbirds
Wanaka: Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow has announced the appointment of a new person to fill one of the most
important jobs in the organisation.
Gill Loughnan volunteered at the 2012 and 2014 Airshows but is now stepping up to the role of Volunteer Manager. She
replaces Mo Schofield who tragically died after falling during a tramp near Wanaka late last year.
“The job of Volunteer Manager is crucial to the overall success of the biennial event” Warbirds Over Wanaka General
Manager, Ed Taylor, says. “We say it every Airshow but without our 300+volunteers WOW simply wouldn’t happen. Gill has
some big shoes to fill but we are more than confident she will do a fabulous job of making sure we have enough
volunteers onboard to make the airshow happen, that they all know what their roles are and she will also ensure that the
volunteers have a great experience as well.”
“WOW is a fantastic community event and I am thrilled to be given this opportunity to be involved with, and meet so many
people from different walks of life” says Gill.
There are numerous volunteer roles available at Warbirds Over Wanaka leading up to, during and after the event. Anyone
interested in putting their names forward should register on www.warbirdsoverwanaka.com from April 2015.
The 2016 Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow is being held on March 25th, 26th and 27th.
. Tickets go on sale via the Warbirds Over Wanaka website and TicketDirect on February 16, 2015.
