We Need You!
CAMAT is organised by a small team. For the 2027 event to be viable that team needs more volunteers! Could you help?
Below highlighted in pink are the areas where we really need extra support to go ahead with the 2027 trail. Please indicate where you could help on the Feedback Form, and someone will be in touch, Thank-you!
