Well I served my time as a festival organiser for a good few years, and still go back to the same festival as a volunteer. Lots of work, many grey hairs acquired, but loads of enjoyment too. Still on other organising committees and have had various artistes staying chez nous. Have never taken, or asked, for any payment, other than a limited amount of reimbursement for outlays such as buying badges and lanyards for committee officials, and some printing costs.
