This will make it easier for potential volunteers to know what's involved, as well as identify the volunteer roles in PCUG. <br />
* We welcome input from anyone who is or has supported any role, by editing the [[Activities and Opportunities]] wiki page, or feedback to Karen (PCUG Office Manager)[http://www.pcug.org.au/wp/administration/contact-forms/office-manager-contact-form]<br />
