Along with announcing a headline act for the 2023 gig this summer, the Vale Earth Collective are also hoping to entice more volunteers to join their ranks to ensure the organisation and fundraising all gets done.
The VEF Collective are a small group of people who not only arrange the Channel Islands longest running music festival, but they also arrange smaller events and fundraisers throughout the year as well.
A meeting is being held tomorrow, Sunday 29 January from 15:00 downstairs at the Thomas De La Rue.
The Collective say: "We are a friendly and enthusiastic bunch and are keen to get some new people involved to help keep things fresh!
"If you would like to find out more about volunteering with the Vale Earth Fair, please contact info@valeearthfair.org or message us on Facebook."
In their own words: "The Collective isn’t like your normal committee, in that a collective has no set roles so you can dip in and out as you’re available. It’s a fantastic experience to be part of something special. We have a variety of opportunities to get involved in, from sound engineering, publicity and media, general logistics, event organisation, band coordinating, merchandise, and art, graphics and design.
"In particular we also need a substantial number of people to volunteer before, during, and after the festival, to assist with building, driving, and generally lugging stuff around!"
