Stewarding volunteers for Samhuinn

October 19 2011, 10:06am

Samhuinn is fast approaching, and we still need more Stewards for the festival to take place! If you still haven’t got involved in Samhuinn this year, please consider stewarding, and encourage your friends to do the same! Stewarding is a wonderful easy way to be involved and absolutely crucial to the running of our festivals, plus you get a great view of all the action. Contact Rob at producer[at]beltane.org for more Stewarding information and to sign up! Looking forward to seeing you all at Samhuinn! Best wishes, Beltane Volunteers
