Volunteering as CAT at Reading 2013 enhanced my experience of the festival greatly. The shifts not only went quickly, but ended up being the highlight of mine and my friends' time at the festival. Giving assistance, be it helping people carry heavy stuff, pointing them in the right direction, or as we found, tracking various stolen gazebos, was fun and rewarding. The festival-goers we chatted to along the way made it so. Staff facilities were undoubtedly a perk too! I hope to volunteer next summer, and would recommend it to anyone who wants to add a unique and memorable other dimension to their festival experience!
