Beltane 2007: Torchies & Stewards

Welcome

This site has news, information and discussion relating to the Beltane Fire Society's torchbearers and stewards.

We're in the final stretch now, and no longer recruiting for this year, but if you're interested in taking part in future BFS events, you should contact "volunteers at beltane dot org".

Upcoming

See the news or next meeting pages for details

• Saturday 28 April: last chance to attend a Health and Safety briefing: if you really can't make this, please contact us as soon as possible. Also fire-proofing must be done before Sunday lunchtime....
• Monday 30 April: the day. Please be on the Hill from noon, unless you're able to help us with setting up, in which case 10am (the faster set-up is completed, the earlier the walkthrough can start). After the walkthrough there should be time to go home briefly before reconvening for face-painting and costuming. We should be on the Hill by about 2030.

There will also be a couple of fire retardant sessions arranged: you will need to bring the (natural fibre, preferably black) clothes you'll be wearing on the night, and a plastic carrier bag to take them away in. This needs to be done no later than Sunday morning.

In the meantime, here's the dreaded countdown:

There are 1947 weeks and 5 days until Beltane
