Wednesday 24th August 2022
We had to do a Covid test this morning, to make sure we were clear for Shambala, as required by the Festival Directors. Luckily we were all clear, so once we were packed up, we drove to Kelmarsh Hall.
We arrived at the Oxfield (the Oxfam Camping Field) around 12.30. Registration didn’t open until the afternoon, but once it did, we found out our shifts.
Our shifts are:
Friday 23.45-8.00 in the Enchanted Woodland
Sunday 18.45-3.00 in the Main Arena
Monday 11.45-20.00 on Response (meaning we will be sent wherever a steward is needed at that time)
We are heading home after Shambala. However, as we thought we would be too tired to drive after our shifts, we hope to travel home on Tuesday rather than Monday and stay an extra night at the festival just to get a good nights sleep before our journey! It seems our shift times are quite unusual compared to everyone else, but at least we get to spend a lot more daytime enjoying the festival!
The rest of the day was spent chatting to other volunteers and looking at the site map, before having the briefing with all Oxfam volunteers. This was really helpful and went through key information. As the festival was still being constructed, we could explore the festival site but only if wearing hi-vis jackets. The crew bar was very busy with Oxfam Stewards! We will be able to explore everywhere much more tomorrow.
