The Christmas Day Dinner ‘mandatory‘ Induction Seminar.

Once you have registered online (through the ChristmasDayDinner.com website) you will be invited to attend an induction seminar. Invites to this seminar will be sent to the email address used to register on the Christmas Day Dinner website. The induction seminar for prospective volunteers takes place usually upon the first Sunday in December. All prospective volunteers must attend. The seminar is less than an hour long and ALL TASKS are assigned to volunteers at this seminar.

THIS SEMINAR IS COMPULSORY – YOU CANNOT ATTEND THE CHRISTMAS DAY DINNER EVENT AS A VOLUNTEER WITHOUT ATTENDING THIS SEMINAR

And here is the Why;

The purpose of this seminar is to give all prospective volunteers an overview of how the Christmas Day Dinner event operates. Addressing issues such as arrival times, parking and the general dos and don’ts.

The seminar informs prospective Volunteers of What will be required of them on Christmas Day

Most importantly all the days tasks are allocated to each Volunteer at this seminar.

The seminar is a good opportunity to meet all the Christmas Day Dinner Managers and serves as a good point of reference for those attending on Christmas Day.
