Dear All,

Firstly I'd like to say a big thank you for signing up as being interested in helping at Strawberry Fair at some point during the year, secondly I'd just like to say...............HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you'll undoubtedly know Strawberry Fair is the highlight of the Cambridge year, every year on the first weekend in June the artists, musicians, party organisers, event promoters and all manner of kind hearted people who enjoy speading love and happiness around the region get together and organise a massive free party.

You may not know this but Strawberry Fair is Europe's largest volunteer-powered, not for profit, sponsorship-fee, free festival. We are only able to maintain this event due to people like yourselves giving up as little or as much of your free time as you are available to do to assist us in running the event.

Any help you can give us at the fair on the Saturday or the days around it would be greatly appreciated, as the event is fast approaching the majortity of the committee will be down on Midsummer Common from now onwards. All you need to do is wander down and say "Hi" to the large group of people standing around scratching their heads and looking a bit stressed- if we're not there we'll more than likely be in the Fort St George or the Portland Arms.

The only thing we do insist on is that if you are available to help steward the event on the Saturday you will need to attend a stewards training course / event safety briefing on the Thursday night (June 1st) at 7.15pm in the crew tent on midsummer common.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to drop me an email on iwanttohelp@strawberry-fair.org.uk or give me (ozzy) a call on 07855 717026

This years fair is shaping up to be an excellent show and i hope to see you all on the common

Cheers

Ozzy & Matt

On Behalf of the 2006 Strawberry Fair Committee
