Many hands make light work and more fun for everyone!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Gatalop! We could not make the event happen without the efforts of our many members and friends who donate their time to ensure a successful event for all.  

Here is some more information about the various jobs:

Troll/Registration

Sit at the Troll (registration) table and check attendees in. Fill in forms, check ID, have attendees sign waivers as needed, and provide site tokens. Run cash register and handle money. Troll volunteers act under the auspices of the Baronial Exchequer and the Event Steward. Report directly to the Troll tent outside the fort 5-10 minutes before start of shift. 5pm-midnight Friday and 8am-2pm Saturday.

Security/Gate

Stand/sit at the fort gate (bring your own chair) and check for site tokens. ALL attendees must display a site token in order to be admitted at all times. From 9am-5pm, members of the public may attend, but must be directed to the fort office to pay the fort entrance fee and must show their receipt to gain reentry. The gate is staffed 24 hours a day during the event. Security volunteers act under the auspices of the Constable and the Event Steward. Report directly to the gate 5-10 minutes before start of shift. 5pm Friday-12pm Sunday, variable shifts.
