VOLUNTEERS are being sought to join the team at Warrington’s premier entertainment centres – Pyramid and Parr Hall.
They are needed to help with a range of tasks from selling ice creams and programmes, preparing the venue for a show, guiding people to their seats to ensuring the safety of customers and assisting with the smooth running of events.
A spokeswoman said: “We need volunteers for daytime and evening performances and events during the week and at weekend, so we have shifts to suit everyone. We would recommend a commitment of 2-3 volunteer shifts per month.”
Volunteers can earn points to see their favourite shows and will also receive great training and development opportunities and be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.”

Can this be right? After all the money spent on Parr Hall and Pyramid, we are exprecting to run them with volunteers? And they will be rewarded with points to see their favourite performers? Ye Gods, almost without exception, I would run a mile to avoid most of the acts they book!
The council obviously needs the money to pay executives, not the hoi polloi who actually deliver services. .
This has got to be the worst idea coming from WBC. We, the Council Tax Payers, have paid a lot of money on these venues and they need to be run professionally. How many more times have we got to say that this all about priorities. The Chief Executive and the Directors at WBC should suffer a decrease in their sal;aries to fund this.
The rates paid for those jobs were always very low and the hours ad hoc, but they offered ideal experience for those young people wanting to go into the performing arts, learning about how shows are put on and what goes into running the venues. They are hardly going to be able to volunteer when they need to be earning! This is not a good idea, other ways could be found to cut costs.
Possibly one way would be by not offering ten per cent pay rises to people on over £100,000 a year already. I believe there are 14 people at the council on that sort of money. That would cover it, surely.
