Anyone worked for DC site services before?
O yes
Will be my third summer with them, very resonable bunch.
Mainly cover litter picking at festivals, which Ive never bothered with but do stewarding at Glastonbury, Latitude, Big Chill and Reading amongst others.
Can be very long shifts usually 12 hours
8am til 8pm or 8pm til 8am for example. You get paid though, usually £50 a day and often cash in hand at the end of the festival. No strict uniform apart from yer tabard, only other thing is the deposit which is a one off payment of £160 for the big festivals I've mentioned which you get back in september/october.
Often if you are working on the car parks at say Guilfest or Big Chill once all the cars are parked up you can often take days off and even the days you do work its pretty much a walk in the park!

How was the training? Interested to know given that they road tested it on me and a few others a couple of months ago - we told them how they'd done it all wrong and that they should do it completely differently
Ye It was paddy doing it. Nothing wrong with it just a bit dull was all, but entirely understandable.
the 3hr session could if been summed up thus: if you see something going wrong tell the folks that are meant to fix it.
I'm going by the comment you made about 'if people are too wrecked to work I'll grass em up, why should I do their job?'
if people are too wrecked to work and either fuck off altogether or work whilst fucked, they're compromising other people's safety.
so yeah, no problems grassing them up

admittedly there a two types of people who work at festivals twatted ones who can hold it together ones that can't, the ones that can't shud be given a quiet firm speaking to, warned, given a quiet position for the rest of the day and come to work clean the next morning - thats how I'd deal with it neways
Sunray
Its sunny somewhere.
Well, I stewarded my 1st festival, Glastonbury and its actually good fun. You do feel much more a part of this huge whole yet have some time to explore it.
People who were stewarding were friendly, and for Glastonbury really look after you with the showers, outstanding food, charge points and general easy passing in and out of the festival. The work was fairly painless as well, though lots of standing.
I highly recommend it to anyone who feels responsible and wants to get in for free.
