The Festival is staffed entirely by volunteers. If you'd like to help out, whether just for a few hours one evening or throughout the week, you will be most welcome. Help for the set-up and clear-away will be particularly appreciated.

The Staffing Officer is Paul Treadaway (assisted by Anthea Andrews; contact details). If you're interested, please fill in the Staffing Form - the printed edition of ALE 301 also has one.

As a volunteer, you get cheap beer and for each session you work a meal voucher.

Work will start on Friday 18th May and finish on Tuesday 29th.
