Buxton Festival Fringe needs you!
Volunteering to help the Fringe is not only key to its success but it also provides you with a unique opportunity to make friends and help shape one of the biggest events in Buxton's calendar.
Be a Friend of the Fringe
This costs a mere £10 and entitles you to ticket discounts and invitations to Friends Events. Its main benefit is, however, the warm glow you get from supporting such a worthwhile arts charity. The Friends are becoming our main source of financial support. More details are on this page or call Peter Low on 01298 25104 or Send message to Friends.
Be a Volunteer
We need people to distribute programmes, write reviews, help with the Fringe Desk, Fringe Sunday, the carnival float and so on. We could do with keen photographers to record each Fringe. You can commit to as much or as little work as you can manage but you do become a member of the Fringe Association and entitled to vote at the AGM.
Perhaps you can help with providing accommodation for our Entrants. Many of these are students with unlimited talent and enthusiasm but limited financial resources. Most need a cheap place to stay for a few days, usually just a room with a bed is sufficient. The Fringe Committee is hoping to build up a list of people who would be willing to welcome some of these into their homes. This year's Fringe dates are July 9-27 2008. If you are interested Send a message to Entrants' Accommodation
Be a Member of the Committee
This is properly called the Executive Committee. It meets 10 or 11 times a year and is very much a committee where everyone attends regularly and has a job to do outside committee meetings. As we are a charity, full committee members are also Trustees of the charity. See our Constitution.
If you wish to be a volunteer or a full committee member or would like more information please write to John Wilson the Fringe Chair 11 Hardwick Mount Buxton SK17 6PR or Send message by email.
'I joined the Fringe Committee when I first moved to Buxton. It gave me a fantastic social life, and the chance to make a difference. I would recommend it to anyone new or old to the area.' James West.
