Alloa Festival Volunteers Required.
Howdy Real Ale & Cider lovers, The next Alloa Real Ale and Cider Festival 2025 is nearly upon us and is happening on the 7th & 8th November 2025. As we are becoming more and more successful the need for volunteers becomes more demanding. There is a core dedicated team to ensure the success of these festivals however we desperately require new volunteers to help with set up/festival work/take down. Our branch currently is now well above 440 members and only small percentage of those strive to make a difference as volunteers. I would really appreciate any time you can spare to help us to create, develop and continually improve our beer festivals.
I am fully aware that many of our volunteers have work and family commitments and would be more than open to people helping for e.g. with the set up after normal working hours on the Wednesday and Thursday and Sunday. So please, if you can spare the time....help us to continue improving and providing one of the most fantastic ale experiences in Central Scotland. As usual we have organised a great reward trip afterwards to thank volunteers for their time. This year we hope to have it at a local brewery
Volunteers will be supplied with a high quality and attractive polo short kindly sponsored this year by Loch Lomond Brewery. If you have any questions or wish to volunteer but are unsure please contact me directly via the contact details on the staffing request form.
Forms can be returned to ku.gro.armac.yellavhtrof@reganam_gniffats With many thanks and kindest regards Stuart Batchelor Staffing Manager & Branch Chair
