Yay!! Reading position confirmed, SO excited. Does anyone know what a CAT general steward does? Apparently we get to help man monitor the stages

[awlright]

Hey guys, do you know if sleeping and tent facilities (other than the campsite and amenities such as showers, cafeteria... etc.) are provided for crew members or is it our duty to bring them - also my friends are going to the festival as non-volunteers so is it possible for me to camp with them ?

I'm doing Latitude and Leeds, should be awesome!

I was trying to go to Latitude with friends by buying tickets but they all decided against it, but i decided not to let that stop me , then I thought feck it i'll do Leeds to so should be awesome.

Just had it confirmed that I'm doing Leeds festival as a Hotbox Steward after applying for the volunteering through Hotbox.
First time I've done it, and it is just me, no friends. Just wondering what this role entails, and what it's like not going with friends.
Thanks

I'm stewarding Leeds for the first time this summer too I'm going with a group of people, but I don't know most of them :roll eyes: so we're in a pretty similar boat!

I'm also planning to volunteer alone this year, not really sure how this works. Do I need to bring my own tent etc. for just me then hope to meet other people when I get there? Or would it be better to maybe find other people to share with beforehand :s don't want to end up by myself all weekend!

I'm volunteering alone this year, but quite excited to meet new people Has anyone here done it before? (Doing it at Leeds as I didn't get Reading at first and Leeds was being filled up fast )

[popsiclee67]

Hey guys, got back last week from volunteering alone at Latitude and can reassure people who are going solo that its absolutely fine, made so many new friends and its an amazing week - enjoy! x

Only just saw this as you didn't quote me aha
But yes i took a small stove for food, but there's access to plug sockets and a kettle for hot water & I took my iphone, like most people and just charged it onsite or at the vodafone stand
I didn't take my camera because its an slr so its not allowed into arenas normally but plenty of others did. And as for money, only a small amount but only to cover extra food, and I also took alcohol with me!

I'd recommend waterproofs and plenty of jumpers too for the night/late shift! the hour before sunrise is the coldest!

Nope! Don't normally do things like this, but it'll be worth it. Ouch that's early I might go Tuesday evening to avoid an early start haha

Just sent my application off tonight for Leeds! Solo volunteer so will be nice to meet other people! One question though, I know your not allowed to camp out of the staff area while you have shifts to do but say I finish my shifts on Friday or Saturday, can I then camp outside the staff area for the remaining nights? Thanks

[Hazza.Mitch]

Just applied to work at Leeds, though I'm waiting to put my deposit down until I have some money or can convince one of my lazy friends to come with.

I've applied to hand out free beer and breakfast rolls, although I worked as a CAT a couple of years ago if anyone has any questions

I don't see why not; you have access to everywhere! I was also thinking of doing this - just a case of lugging your stuff from one end of the festival to the other which will probably take at least 30 mins lol.

[cpdavis]

In regards to my ticket, will I get that in the post or do I just go there?
