Reading passage: Preparing for the club open day

On Thursday afternoon, Evie arrived early at the Riverside Rugby Club. The club was holding an open day on Saturday, and Evie had offered to help. Callum, the club’s volunteer coordinator, gave her a list of jobs. First, Evie put information leaflets on a table near the entrance. The leaflets explained how to join the junior training sessions and what equipment new players would need. Next, she checked the sign-up sheet for the free taster session. Several families had already added their names. Callum asked Evie to help set out chairs in the clubhouse. He reminded her to leave a clear path to the fire exit. After the chairs were in place, Evie made a large sign showing where visitors could find refreshments. She used bright lettering so people could read it from the doorway. Before Evie left, Callum thanked her and explained that the open day would begin at ten o’clock on Saturday. Evie felt pleased that her work would help visitors feel welcome. She planned to arrive at half past nine to check that everything was ready.
