Volunteers wanted for folk festival

Umina Beach Folk Festival organisers have called for volunteers.

Volunteers who work six hours will receive a free season ticket to the festival.

No previous experience is necessary.

The types of jobs that need to be done are checking for armbands, assisting in the festival office, security patrols, venue management, selling tickets, assisting with sound and lighting, helping with the children's festival, putting up signs, sanitation and looking after workshop rooms.

Volunteer organiser Ms Helen Jefferies said: "The festival runs from 1.30pm on Friday, October 22, until 6pm on Sunday, October 24.

"A large number of volunteers is required to ensure that the festival runs successfully and the load is shared evenly.

"With events taking place at Club Umina, several locations at Umina Public School, Woy Woy Bowling Club and at Everglades Country Club, our resources have been severely stretched."

Anyone wishing to volunteer or to find out more information should call Helen on 9639 4911 or by email at Jeffries@tech2u.com.au
