What’s in it for you?

You’ll get your hands dirty with close-ups on all the action and go home with a commemorative t-shirt (that you’ll actually wear again!) as our way of saying thanks!

Lunch will be provided as well as an event crew party on Sunday evening after all the pack up is done. Time and location to be confirmed.
