The theme for the 2008 event on May 31 and June 1 is pirates and smugglers. A fancy dress parade will be held on the first day.

But the annual event, now in its 11th year, will also include the usual favourites of a sandcastle competition, donkey rides, classic vehicle cavalcade, exhibitions and entertainment.

Bognor Regis Town Council is again organising the fun.

A council spokesman said: "With so much going on over the weekend, we need additional people to assist our small events team.

"The duties of the volunteers will include assisting children's activities, including the fancy dress parade, running sideshows and stalls, manning the information point and helping with the general stewarding."

Volunteers should be aged over 18 and able to offer a few hours of their time during the weekend.

A training session will be run for the potential recruits. Their duties will be explained and the weekend's activities outlined.

Anyone interested should contact Sue Holmes, the council's events officer, on 01243 825535.
