For those who wish to be a MardiGrass volunteer:

If you cannot afford a pass or just want to contribute to the cause, you can register as a volunteer at the Hemp Embassy or the Information Booth in front of the Hall.

We need volunteers from as early as the Monday before, so if you want to be part of the preparations, come early. You do not have to register in advance, just come. For a reasonable day's help you will get a weekend pass.

For camping a bedroll and sleeping bag are minimum kit. The nights are starting to get cold at MardiGrass time so make sure you bring warm clothing and whatever else you need in case it rains.

Volunteer jobs are varied and according to the needs of the moment. They can include fence and barricade construction, rubbish collection, erecting marquees and tents, setting up stages, constructing big joints, and anything else that needs to be done to make MardiGrass happen successfully.

Volunteers...bring your own bowl and mug if you can!

The Jungle Patrol is a local volunteer organisation that patrol the streets, encourage people to keep the peace, and bear witness when they do not. The Jungle Patrol cannot enter an affray, but will encourage a peaceful resolution to any disturbance. If there is an incident, it is witnessed, and aid is rendered after the event if necessary. Jungle Patrol members will be able to contact the Police if the situation warrants it.

The Jungle Patrol grew from the volunteer groups of early MardiGrass celebrations.

If you think you can be that, volunteer!

The Jungle Patrol will be providing visitor information, crowd safety, primary first aid, event communications and security/police liaison.

If you need help during the event don't hesitate to ask.

For those who came in late....

Jungle Patrol operates from Friday 8am through to early Monday morning and people are urged to sign up for two four hour shifts.
