Local coordinators
As a grass roots led festival, the organisational set up varies across the country. Some areas have fantastic local coordinators and steering committees who help promote activity and bring people together.
These brilliant people make a big difference in building a buzz and connecting you with the local community so do drop them a line! If there isn't a coordinator for your area, don't worry, your national team will help you. If you're interested in becoming a coordinator then do contact us centrally!
* Coordinators marked with stars also manage registration for the area *
