Subject: RE: Folklore: Festival Stewarding:Best/ Worst Jobs?
Best ever - Artist Liason at Saffron Walden - great job, meeting the guests, pandering to their every (and weirdest) whim including supplying cold tea, attempting to find another piano to replace the Steinway Grand considered 'unplayable' by one artist (he was right, he couldn't play it), loaning an occasional table, supplying pens, paper, asprin and sticky plasters....

Worst - standing on empty carpark duty without a walkie talkie radio, in blazing midday sunshine, for 4 hours without the opportunity for a break and no means to call up a stand-in so I could at least get myself a hat or a bottle of water. The migraine I got from that lasted for hours and I forgot how to walk.
