Redbourn Classics Entrance Gates

The aim of Redbourn Classic Car Show & Village Fete is to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charities. The main way we raise money is by encouraging donations from visitors so this is a really important role.

  • There will 4 Pedestrian Entrances (each with a gazebo) and each entrance will have 2 buckets and a roll of stickers. The stickers remain the the gazebo and get handed between shifts.
  • Collection buckets will be supplied to each entrance and should be collected from the Control Tent at the beginning of your shift. Each bucket must be returned to Control Tent at end of your shift.
  • 2x contactless credit/debit card readers will be supplied to each Pedestrian Entrance. They are very easy to use and guidance will be provided by a Committee Member at the beginning of your shift. We can also offer training on the use of the card readers prior to the event if that would be beneficial — just email us on volunteer@redbournclassics.co.uk. We hope that most of our contributions will be via a card readers as this is the safest and simplest way for us to accept donations.
  • A box containing ‘event flyers’ will be in the gazebo and they can be distributed to visitors on arrival. The flyers contain instructions on how visitors can vote for their Favourite Classic Vehicle.
  • Each volunteer will be issued a personalised ID and hi-vis jacket (to be collected and returned from the Control Tent at the start/end of the shift).
  • Table & chairs will be set up at each entrance for your convenience. Anti bacterial wipes and hand gel will also be available for use.
  • At the end of your shift, please stay at your gate until the next shift comes to take over from you. Please remember to return your bucket, lanyard and jacket to the Control Tent. Card readers will stay in the gazebo.
  • Owners exhibiting classic vehicles have already bought their entrance tickets as part of their vehicle entry. Classic vehicles have dedicated entrances, which are separate from the pedestrian entrances.
  • There will be toilets available at the Methodist Church, Museum, and the Village Hall in High Street, as well as a number of Portaloos situated on the Common.

If there are questions that you cannot answer, please direct people to the Control Tent, including lost persons, first aid and incident reporting.

In the event of an incident your first role will be to move people away from the scene to a place of safety. Call for assistance. Please bring your mobile phone with you since there will be a dedicated number for emergencies – 07769 970970 based in the Control Tent. There are dedicated first aid provisions which can be contacted via the Control Tent. A defibrillator will be available in the Redbourn Community Group bus, adjacent to the Main Stage.

The St. Albans District Council issue regulations governing the collection of money at events like ours, and states (summary):

• You may not collect from any carriageway (you should remain within the site boundary at your nominated gate)
• You may not importune (harass), inconvenience or annoy any person
• Remain stationary at your collecting point (within reason, I would suggest!)
• No more than two collectors within 25 mtrs of another collector
• All collecting boxes must be returned unopened to the promoter
