The stewards are the life-blood of the running of the Festival.\u00a0 If you could spare just a few hours one day, you could join this amazing team!<\/p>\n
The tasks are varied!\u00a0 As people arrive at the venue (Christ Church), they will be welcomed by thr door stewards who will check the performers in and sell tickets to their supporters.\u00a0 Most payments are made by card\u00a0 nowadays:\u00a0 there is very little handling of cash.<\/p>\n
In the hall, one steward takes charge of the platform.\u00a0 They will announce the classes and help the (sometimes very nervous) performers become comfortable for their performance.<\/p>\n
Another steward will sit alongside the Adjudicator.\u00a0 Their task is to ensure that she or he has all the paperwork that they need.\u00a0 Beside these is the Certificate Steward who will record the result of each class and make sure that the right certificates are handed out.<\/p>\n
Many classes have trophies.\u00a0 The appropriate ones for the session are displayed (labelled!) and the Trophy Steward will make sure that, not only are they handed out but that they are also signed for!<\/p>\n
There’s always a short break during each session.\u00a0 Someone to make and distribute teas, coffees and biscuits are always a welcome sight!<\/p>\n
