Helping to run the event, provide information and support for attendees. Setting up, taking down, and marshalling the parade and play.
This is a fun Christmas market and event over two days. Which will give you a lot of experience of how a large-scale event is organised and run. There is a market, so you may be supporting traders. Helping attendees. Setting up for activities and assisting members in running activities. You may want to help marshal the parade on Saturday. You will provide help and assistance to members and directors. You will not be left alone to do a task or asked to do anything you are not 100% confident to do. You will not be expected to know anything about the event or Steampunk, and there will be lots of opportunity to engage and enjoy yourself. If you can say "That's a great question, hold on I'll find (someone who knows the answer)," then you'll do just fine.

About Steampunks of Gloucestershire
The Steampunks of Gloucestershire (the SoG or SoGgies) were formed in 2016 as a local community group for Steampunks and Steampunk-curious people in Gloucestershire. We run large-scale events across Gloucestershire.
We have been delighted to work with various groups around Gloucestershire and participate in several local events over the years.
In 2020 we paired up with the Folk of Gloucester to organise regular events at the Folk. These events are to raise money to preserve the Folk for the community. 100% of all profits go to saving and maintaining the building for the future.
Since 2020 we have raised over £25000 for the Folk, £1400 for St Mary de Crypt, and £2,500 for the Woodchester Mansion Trust.
All Steampunks of Gloucestershire events are family-friendly, open to the public, and will always be FREE during the daytime events.
Other groups' event funding models are different, and that is their business, but we do this solely for free and to raise money for charities.
So far we have received no sponsorships, no subsidies and no grants.
We are not paid, and we take not a brass penny for ourselves, in fact, we often end up out of pocket.
Why? Because we are Steampunks, we believe in Steampunk as an active inclusive community, and we believe no one should have to pay.Steampunks are a community of like-minded individuals; we are all different, some very different, and we celebrate those differences. We encourage those differences. We do not judge people, nor single out or exclude people; such behaviour is simply not splendid, and that’s not Steampunk.We are a refuge for the outsiders, the people that never fitted in with the ‘right crowd’ at school. The oddballs and we are very proud of that fact.
If you would like to get involved, help us organise and run these events, make stuff, sing, dance, or just help out, then we would love to welcome you. Oh, and you'll have a lot of fun too.
