Hi Green Stewards...
And we are off!! The first event this year was Sunrise Celebration. Thanks to everyone who came and worked, the management asked me to pass on a big 'Well done and thank you from Sunrise'. It was gloriously sunny, friendly, chilled out and great way to start the season. On to the next with Beachbreak. This event is now full and we have quite a few on the standby list as well. Fear not though, we still have plenty more over the next couple of months!

*- Indicates if you will get paid for stewarding this event
Please read and note deposit terms and conditions including a new cancellation policy - so make sure that you only select festivals you can definitely make, not a wish list...
Please note that due to the high level of demand for the paid events, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone will get a place. If you do nominate a paid event you will be put on a provisional list and we will tell you at least 4 weeks in advance whether you are definitely coming.
Please login and click on 'tell us which festivals you would like to work at' for more details
So what are you waiting for?
If you have not stewarded with us before please enter your details by clicking on the ‘Register / I want to work’ button.
Once you have entered all your details wait until you get a confirmation email and then sign in and start planning your summer
Most of our work is voluntary eg for 3 shifts of six (and a bit) hours you get free ticket and fed usually one meal per shift (see ‘Job Specification’ for more details)
Deposits 2010
You will be required to pay one refundable deposit, which will be more* than the ticket price of the festival(s) you would like to work (*at the festival's request).
Please make sure that you read the new cancellation fee policy - if you cancel your attendence two weeks or less before a festival you will lose all your deposit, if you give us longer notice there will be a cancellation fee but you will get the rest of your deposit back. Please note that this also applies to the NVQ training courses.
All deposits are subject to a £5 admin fee. Providing you do all your shifts etc your deposit (less £5) will be returned usually 3 weeks after you have finished your last (2010) festival
NVQ Training
We have run courses in the North West and Croydon and had over 200 of you at our hugely successful Spring Training Camp at Fernhill. We plan to offer further opportunities during the summer if/when funding becomes available, and possibly in Autumn too. And of course in 2011 as well.
If you would like further information - please see the NVQ Training Resources pages via the side menu bar , and if you want to be kept upto date with future opportunities make sure that you indicate your interest in 'NVQ Training' by logging in and doing so - just like for a festival
As we are obtaining free funding, cancellations cause us major difficulties so please do not sign up unless you are sure that you want to do the training and will be able to attend a week-end or possibly consecutive Saturdays to start the course. The second part of the course is to be assessed at two festivals/events
See you in a field sometime very soon. Bring on the sunshine!!
