WORK EXPERIENCE
I am looking for people to help at many of the festival listed above. The deal would be a free ticket, 4 hours work a day plus set up and pack down help, PLUS LOTS OF FUN! Email me if you are interested!

I am also looking for ideally a local Cambridge based Fashion Student to model and for design work. For the right applicant this would be a fantastic chance for work experience in design and marketing plus a lot more and could lead to a perminant position.
