Stewards wanted for lights festival
9:30am Monday 24th September 2012 in News
THE organisers of Illuminating York are looking for people who would like to volunteer as a festival steward.
The Press reported recently how the Museum Gardens will be transformed into a “magical wonderland” when the Illuminating York Festival is staged there between October 31 and November 3.
Three large-scale cutting edge projections will light up the ruins of St Mary’s Abbey, the Yorkshire Museum and part of the City Walls as part of the York 800 celebrations.
Now organisers have appealed for volunteers over the age of 18 who would be available on one or more of the evenings and also for a one-hour briefing at 7pm on Tuesday, October 30.

I agree with the charging--the show will have costs. But don't then ask for volunteers when you're looking to make a profit? No wonder there is so much unemployment when everywhere is expecting you to work for free.
