We are looking for friendly, helpful Stewards to join our fantastic group of volunteer stewards and help to make our festival run smoothly.

-         Door steward – preventing entry to the room during performances.

-         Announcer – reading the welcome script aloud, ensuring that all performers are called to perform in order and the adjudicator is aware of the performer’s name.
