Open Night Volunteer Information

We need people to man scopes, talk to the public, act as ushers or just grab your own scope and chat to the public!
Experts not needed … we’ll guide you!
Volunteers receive a $10 petrol voucher for each evening attended.
If you have never volunteered before .. don’t panic … we will ensure you are fully trained and know what is expected of you and don’t panic even if you are a beginner or think you don’t know enough as we also need people to act as ushers, gate staff and onsite support – so there’s plenty to do for everyone!
Volunteering is very rewarding – so definitely consider helping out.

We run open nights during the winter months:
Every Friday night (7.30 – 9pm)
Most mid week events (Weds normally for private groups)
Kidsfest in July
Any out of the ordinary events (Like Mars Week etc)
To volunteer please email membership@cas.org.nz
Heres to a great winter season for 2026
