QLD Baseball website is looking for volunteers to man the Brisbane Bandits stand at the Ekka this year...
Can you help your ABL team?
The Brisbane ABL Team is set to use the Brisbane EKKA to help launch the return of the Australian Baseball League and the Brisbane based team. The Brisbane ABL team will enter an interactive stand in the showbag pavillion at the EKKA held in Brisbane from August 5 - 14, 2010.
The stand will feature an interactive display that will allow the many patrons of the show bag pavillion to test their throwing velocity and compare it with the velocities of professional players.
Some of the games higher profile players will also be on hand for autograph sessions at various times throughout the ten days of EKKA.
In order for this activity to be a success, the Brisbane ABL team will need volunteer assistance and is calling for volunteers to register to help staff the ABL stand at the EKKA. The team is asking for a four hour shift in return for an event staff shirt featuring the new ABL team logo and free entry to the EKKA for the day of your shift.
