The fine print: All volunteers will get to shop the event early on Saturday morning at 9:30am, regardless what shift you are signed up for. During your breaks, your volunteer badge will give you access to the event all weekend (for free) plus a 10% discount at both Geeked Out's and Cheeky Treats booths. We will provide lunch (from the onsite canteen) on Saturday and Sunday only. Snacks and drinks will be available in the volunteer headquarters for you to enjoy during your breaks. * Friday volunteers, please come prepared with a lunch/supper or tell us you need a break to go and get something to eat. We promise we are easy to work with.
Volunteer shifts are 3 hours in length (except for early Saturday morning) and you can sign up for one or as many as you would like. If you'd like 1 specific shift but can't be there for the entire 3 hours, NO problem! Please just make a note of it in the comments section below. Responsibilities will differ based on the shift time-slot and will be handed out during the volunteer meeting prior to the start of your shift(s). Please see the list below. If there is something you are unable to do (like setting-up tables), please make note of it for us.
