Ooooh. Check it out! Who wants to go to Hong Kong in 2008? I would muck out stalls gladly to get to attend.

Volunteers sought for olympic horse events. Around 1,800 Volunteers will be recruited by the Equestrian Company to help make the Olympic Equestrian and Paralympic Events in August and September 2008 respectively in Hong Kong a smooth operation. The role of the Volunteers is to complement the work of the full- and part-time staff. Their prime duties are to assist athletes, working staff, spectators, guests and other visitors in 2008 and in August next year, when the Test Event will be staged.

Mr Lam said the Volunteers would undergo various types of training which included residential, weekend and evening training as well as on-site practice.

Applicants can be persons of all nationalities who have the right to enter and stay in Hong Kong during the training and service periods.
