Wanted: Volunteers for Marshal Duties and Street Collections

Thanks to all those who have volunteered so far.

We’re still needing volunteers for Marshal duties and street collections. If you have replied to any previous posts or requests we have your details, so thank you.

Marshalls

We particularly need support for the Saturday Grand Parade on the 21st June.

We want to ensure we can put on the greatest festival in the Borders.

If you can spare some time between 11am and 1pm please DM our Facebook page and we will share the WhatsApp group link where you can let us know when you can volunteer/marshal.

Street Collectors

The running costs for Peebles Beltane Festival are rising and as we have mentioned previously, the current expenditure is not sustainable long term.

We badly need collectors to help gather in donations from the gathered public. These collectors are required for Wednesday 18th, Friday 20th and Saturday 21st.

This will involve walking around the public with collecting buckets or flags to gather loose change and donations.

Collectors need to be 14 or over. Ideally this would be suitable for youth groups or other organisations wishing to get involved with and support our great festival.

If you need more information or can help please DM our Facebook page and we will get back to you.

Thank you.
