As with any volunteer organization, don’t volunteer for a job unless you have the knowledge and time to do the job right. Anything less is a disservice to the organization.

Your rest is well deserved; we have the watch!
We ride hundreds of miles for funerals here in the States. I, for one, would swap the Stars and Stripes for a Union Jack, if there were a bridge to get us there, for the benefit of your family.
