Ok, nowhere near as amazing as this site, but we now have an Oxfam Festivals Team facebook group. Click here to find it. Please help spread the word by telling as many people as possible, we need more volunteers than ever before this year so the more the merrier... :cheers:

new poster now live on the Oxfam website - will add new link / post to the forum later in the week

click here to download! but please note the poster is designed to be used from March onwards, once recruitment is open, as it directs people to the website to sign up!

Pete - where abouts are your shops?

Much better than the last one.

One slight concern I have is the "You’ll see live music from the inside" line, it suggests we get backstage.

Thame x2 , berko, chesham, aylesbury, hemel, StAlbans, watford x2 and Rickmansworth Leigh.. I'll cut and paste the festivals onto the poster when announced and put them up in March... the reason for having the festivals on there is that if they're not the shop customers ask which ones we are doing and shop volunteers are very unlikely to know.
Cheers pete

cool, couldn't put the festivals on it as it's a generic poster designed to be used each year. we will be briefing the entire shop network with the poster, and list of festivals etc. but any extra help's amazing.

No problem Leigh the trick with shops is to get them to buy into things... they get on average 4 or 5 Oxfam campaigns, Initiatives, product promotions, DEC fund donation, OXJAM etc mailings a month and if they put up all the posyters and flyers there'd be no room to sell things...
At the Aylesbury shop last year they used the Festival volunteer poster to promote the shop to a younger generation and had an A4 sheet to hand out detailing the festivals and how to apply. Being in a relatively deprived area of the South East we also gave people advice on where they could access a computer and have a digital photo taken...
cu at Glasto..

well, we kinda do. Er, has been known.

Incidently if you can blag your way into the BBC compound at Glastonbury, I seriously recommend it. They've got Brie and earl grey tea. It's a wicked spread.

but, no, i never go where I'm, not meant to, I just heard a rumour

er, maybe I should post this annonomously
