u3a Festival 24: Join us as a festival steward or meeter and greeter

Margaret Fiddes, Trustee for the Yorkshire and Humber and one of the organisers of u3a Festival 24, talks about an opportunity to get involved in this year's festival. 

Excitement is building as plans for next year's festival are coming together. We are delighted by the incredible response we've received from our members, group leaders, and subject advisers who have offered a wide array of activities, workshops, sports, and events and we’re working to get a programme together so you can see what will be on offer.

As we gear up we are looking at the challenge of organising and coordinating all the offering and we need your help to make the event run smoothly.

We’d like to invite you to be a part of the festival by volunteering as a steward or a meeter and greeter.
Stewards will play a pivotal role in keeping the festival running smoothly. You won't be required to work all day, every day – we understand you're here to enjoy the festival too. As a meeter and greeter, you will be the welcoming face registering festival-goers, and directing people around the site. Plus, there may be some perks in store for our dedicated volunteers!

This festival is not just about the activities and events; it's about members coming together to share all the joy that u3a has to offer. We need you to help make this happen.
