			==Tent Crew==

			We’re looking for more recruits for the site crew team, the ones generally referred to as “the Red Caps.”

			This team is responsible for preparing the site before the event and for clearing the site afterwards. This includes erecting and dropping the PD tents that are deployed as well as numerous other jobs, like deploying benches. We also get called in when the going gets tough and the weather gets bad, helping out players and all the other PD teams to make the game happen, no matter what the conditions are. We are the face of PD in the field before and after the event.

			We work hard before the event to set up and after the event too. However, while the event is running most of the site crew get to play a character and join in with the game.

			Being part of the Red Cap Team means being able to make lots of fun out of hard work - but it isn’t for everyone. We have a lot of practically capable people - if that’s you, great - but you don’t have to be very strong (or a tent expert) to be useful. What you do need is a degree of emotional and physical stamina - we work through good and bad weather and everyone on the Red Hats team shares the job of being committed and focused.

			===How much of the event will you see?===
			* '''As site crew you are on-call for a lot of the event in case of emergency, you can also play a character and take a full part in the game around your shifts before and after the game'''

			===Requirements===
			* '''Be on-site at least from Thursday morning and until Monday, if you can come Monday and stay until Tuesday that is extra helpful'''
			* '''Be prepared to carry out physical work in all weathers'''
			* '''Be prepared to time in a little late on Friday and finish playing a little early on Sunday when necessary to get the job done'''
			* '''Be prepared to walk away from role-play in an emergency in order to carry out your crew role.'''
			* '''Take instructions well, but be prepared to take your own initiative from one task to the next'''
			* '''Be willing to learn new skills (or apply existing skills to new ways of working)'''

			==GOD Team - evening shift ==

			The Games Operation Desk (GOD) operates as the main contact point for players and crew throughout the event. We’re responsible for handling a wide variety of game administration, from handing out packs and recording rituals to recording lost property and helping new players create their first characters.
			This role is a specific evening role that includes securing the large amounts of in-character resources that are stored in GOD when GOD closes. It’s important that the person, like all GOD crew, is known and seen to be trustworthy. Ideally, GOD crew will be around from Thursday to help with setting up GOD and handing out packs, but the key work for this role is on Friday afternoon to timeout and similar on Saturday.

			===How much of the event will you see?===
			* '''GOD operates throughout the event, although we have a rota to ensure everyone gets breaks and the chance for those who want to take some R&R'''
			* The evening role will be to cover evening shifts: to 10pm on Thursday, Xpm - 1am on Friday and Saturday. This might suit someone who likes to sleep in or who wants to battle with their R&R character.

			===Requirements===
			* '''Good customer service skills'''
			* '''Take instructions well, but be prepared to take your own initiative from one task to the next''
			* '''Be able to lift heavy tubs of resources in and out of the ISO. '’
			* '''If you have an R&R character, being confident you can keep the information you learn in GOD separate from your character’s knowledge'''
			While it’s not required for this role, being comfortable using a radio and a computer are significant bonuses.

	~~==Litter Picking==~~
	We're looking for a few more recruits to join the site crew team to do the litter-picking of the site after the event. The huge majority of our players are really good at cleaning up after themselves - but we still need to sweep the site to try and pick up the missed tent pegs and the bits of rubbish that have been missed or blown. There is always some rubbish that has blown into the farm ditches, and they need to be picked clean.

	It's not a difficult job, and it's not unpleasant for the most part, though it's not a job for the extremely squeamish as there is the odd piece of litter that is unsavoury in nature. There are litter pickers and gloves available for every member of the team. You do need to be able to walk long distances since you need to walk back and forth across the fields repeatedly.

	You don't have to be on-site early unless you want to be, but you will need to stay an entire extra day after the event finishes. We can only litter pick the site properly once everyone has left, so we need the team to start Sunday evening but work through most of Monday to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

	~~During the event, you're free to play a character and join in with the game as any other player would.~~

	~~===How much of the event will you see?===~~
	* '''As one of the litter pickers, you will be working after the game on Sunday and then Monday through to the afternoon. This will leave the weekend free to play a character.'''

	~~===Requirements===~~
	* '''Remain on site until Monday afternoon'''
	* '''Be prepared to work in all weathers'''
	* '''Be happy to walk long distances.'''
