Whichever way you pay, your bond will be returned to you in the form of a cheque payable to you at the address you stated on the application form after the festival pending full completion of your shifts. If you do not complete both shifts your bond will not be returned. This is just to ensure that all volunteers turn up for their shifts.

Should you wish your bond to be returned to either a different name than your own or a different address we will need a confirmation in writing or by email.
