Your Festival Needs You!
VOLUNTEERS are being sought to help co-ordinate and marshal the multitude of events planned for the 51st Rose of Tralee International Festival which will take place from 20th to 24th August 2010.
The co-ordinator of the Back to Basics Rose of Tralee Support Group, Bryan Carr said: “It will be an opportunity to gain first-hand experience working on a large international Arts and Culture Festival that has such a rich and celebrated history.”
“Volunteers are certainly the life-blood of the Rose of Tralee International Festival and their involvement has grown exponentially as this vibrant annual celebration has gained momentum over the years.”
The duties of the volunteers over the week of the Festival may include: Artist Liaisons, Production & technical Assistants, Volunteer Supervisors, Performance Stewards and Hospitality Facilitators as well as Park Stewards and the traditional Stage, Parade and Street closure Stewards.
All volunteers will be given Health & Safety training which will run over a half day and will be facilitated by the HSE, Civil Defence, Kerry County Council, Red Cross and the Rose of Tralee International Festival.
Volunteers will be provided with access to a Food Hall while on their breaks. The job comes with a chance to win the ‘Volunteer of the Festival’ award and the privilege of automatic membership to the Volunteers Club and of course the end of Festival ‘Wrap it Up’ Party. Most of all, however, they are an integral part of something special.
Bryan Carr said: “Apart from being 18 years of age or over, there are no special requirements, or stipulations or previous experience required just a desire to help the Festival in its 51st celebrations and a willingness to be an ambassador for Tralee and the Rose of Tralee International Festival for one week in August.”
