Who from Region Three is temping as VSO in Region Five?

We don't get told anything down here - anyone could be in the office doing any job and we wouldn't know :-) Not that we could see them anyway behind the counter to ceiling barrier they have erected.

The acting VSO in Region 5 is the ex acting VSO from Region 3 (who was previously the admin officer). If that makes any sense without naming names. Unfortunately with all the staff changes in the service it is hard to keep up. Prehaps a memo to Brigades is appropriate so as we at least know who to ask for when calling the office.

Why can't we name names? Are these appointments state secrets? :-)

Andrea is a great VSO - lucky Region 5. But who is acting acting for Region 3?

Yes Kat you are right, Andrea is a great VSO - Not sure if she would like her name distributed through this forum and the internet (although it is all good about her) - or, prehaps she might! At the moment the acting Region 3 VSO is David Baker.

Acting - was that a pun or did you mean he was in the role????

And I think he is now the permenant VSO - so acting was probally not a pun, but an actual statement :evil:

The acting VSO here in region 5 has done a great job and I have enjoyed working with her in the short time that she has been here. It's a shame that she is going back to region 3 and I for one wish here all the best,its great to see that CFS do have VSO's that are fully of life and really enjoy their job and the people they help. I have had to deal with her with our recruitment day and it was great having a person who had the contacts and could get her hands on items that we needed.
