I was just about to DM you :-) , hat making workshop ? Steward ? Although I would have thought they would want a fair amount of hours - but they do close early evening from memory

i was think along the hat making lines .... but squeezing a 6 months of work into a few hours might be tough ... ill have a think for sure ... also explore the stewarding angle

Made for you! Even stewarding whilst the festival friendly messages on hat, backpack are displayed and your knowledge, enthusiasm and experience of the farm.  All ties in with the green ethos of the field.

Says the steward shifts are from 8pm to 8am, so you'd be working overnight every night if I've read it correctly.

My friend has been doing stewarding with Green Crafts for a few years, the 12 hours is broken down into 3 x 4 hour shifts, so you never work more than 4 hours a day and do 5 shifts in total = 20 hours.

ill definitely consider ... its more the timing of the shifts than the length  and the acceptance of the festival being very different ( maybe not in a bad way ) ... ill have a ponder and discussion with my festival friend but its defiantly not ruled out ... Thanks stone circle

I sent a submission to them yesterday by air mail, on behalf of myself and two friends. We are proposing to do art sculpture workshops for free. The idea is for festival attendees to make art sculptures out of on site litter, found on the ground at the festival. It can be paper, plastic, metal, or whatever, as long as it's genuine litter left by others who are obviously ignorant bastards. On top of creating their own work, they can also add and item to larger proposed works, which are to take form as time goes by.

I don't suppose it'll come to fruition, but odd things do happen.

sounds a cracking idea ... would love to add to that if it comes off ..... My brother once made me an item of clothing made from festival litter that during the course of the festival people offered me money for ... no prizes for guessing the item of clothing ... I think it was made from an old Q daily newspaper ... good luck

Hello crazyfool1,

It's obviously a family thing in the crazyfool family to create hats. You should join forces with your brother and see if you can knock Philip Treacy off his perch. However, being a fan of the man, I must admit that that'll take some doing.

Thanks for the best wishes.

@Yoghurt on a Stick Your idea sounds wonderful and something they may go for. I have my fingers crossed for you.  Me and my husband sent off an application for stewarding yesterday.  I wonder when we may hear anything back. x

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I reckon the stewarding opportunity is a bit of you, @crazyfool1. Go for it!

Hello Jensescapade,

Thank you for that vote of confidence, it's appreciated.

I have no idea when they would get back to people, I'm afraid. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your husband getting places as stewards.

I'd like to second that. Get your skates on though crazyfool1 as the submission has to be by post only, and is to Southern Ireland. I believe it can take up to 5 days for delivery, but you could still do it - if it's meant to be. All the best if you do throw your hat in the ring. See what I did there?

 

I'll get my coat!

[Jensescapade]

@Yoghurt on a Stick Thank you.  Lets hope its fairly soon so we can start another plan  x

It is ... but the hours would be totally wrong ... it’s a holiday and really would be stretching it to sign up to those hours ... maybe in the future .. I’ve taken a punt on oxfam this time as that’s just in the realms of possible and will go for the bus from Taunton too ... so I am exploring and expanding my opportunities as much as is possible ... I guess everyone takes the opportunity’s that they feel they can deal with ... and these are mine at this stage ...

Sounds like a brilliant idea, really hope they go for it. I’ve gone for the stewarding position, would love to hang out in the Green Fields for a few hours for a free ticket, fingers crossed for everyone who has applied.

Hello Charm,

Yes, there's worse places to spend a few hours a day working than the Green Fields. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too in getting a place.

That's appreciated Avalon_Fields, thank you.

I hope that the organisers see this thread and realise that people are already 'banging on the door' wanting this to be a 'thing'!  lol

I think it's a 4 hour shift every night sometime  between 8pm and 8am.. I love the calm of the green fields at night so it seems like the perfect stewarding role to me 🙂 I've applied.
