    HOTBOX Festival Volunteers 2012!
    This is thread for anyone who, like me, has applied/confirmed to be volunteering at Reading, leeds or latitude this summer through Hotbox, so you can meet people before you go

    FYI I'm doing Reading and Latitude!

    I was going to, but unfortunately the only person I know who has volunteered through HotBox warned me against it. Ugh, I just really want to go to Latitude

    Apparently HotBox was late in giving her her deposit money back. It may have been just a one off thing, but it did put me off. Especially considering how much more the deposit amount is for HotBox compared to something like Oxfam.

    A friend of mine has done it for 2 years and has never said it was late? He said you kind of forget about it so it's a nice surprise when the cheque comes through in october haha!
