Festival Charity
As usual, as customers leave they will have the opportunity to donate their unused beer tokens to the festival charities, instead of cashing them in. This year's charities will be those nominated by Keighley Town Mayor, Ian Wilson, who will officially open the festival on Thursday evening. The charities are the Arthritis and Rheumatism Council and Cougars Sporting Chance Award.
Staffing
Volunteer staff are required to help us run the festival. This involves set-up (the week before the festival) and take-down (on the Sunday) as well as serving behind the bar and staffing the other areas whilst we are open. Volunteer staff must be CAMRA members. To download a staffing form:
