Volunteers of 2011

 


 

Frank Guy: 2002 - 2008

Taking time out

Frank is an amazing chap who had lived and worked on the farm for many years before we opened the campsite. He was instrumental in starting the campsite in 2006/7. To show some thanks and to make sure he lives on at Wowo forever, the pitch at the very end of Tipi Trail is named Frank’s Spot, most will agree it is the nicest on the campsite

 


 

 

Dani & Nuria: March - December 2009

Dani & Nuria

A lovely couple from Catalan, Spain, here for the summer as volunteers. Their knowledge of planting and growing is invaluable as you will see sunflowers planted everywhere and the vegetable poly-tunnel is full of the produce of their labour. They also do an amazing Spanish breakfast for campers on weekends and can be found in the barn with their aprons on serving their exquisite food.

 

 

 



Priya: April - September 2009

The lovely Priya

Priya is with us for this summer and helps in the office, getting the Yurts ready and loads more around the farm. She’s very friendly so don’t hesitate to ask for help. She’s just started learning Ultimate Frisbee so if you’ve got one throw it at her and see what happens!

 


 

 

Marie: August - December 2009

hehehe

Marie has been with us since half way through 2009 and is an invaluable asset in looking after all the Yurts and the site. You'll see her driving the quad bike around with considerable skill (she learnt from the best). Originally from Denmark she came over with the Help Ex scheme and is most likely to return for the 2010 season too! A very friendly and helpful character, feel free to brush up on your Danish if you'd like!

She's planning on popping back for this summer in 2010 though so we'll look forward to having her back.

 

 


 


Tim, Lucy & Oscar: September 2009 - May 2010

 

This lovely trio came to us near the end of the 2009 season bringing a whole load of skills with them. Lucy is a bit of a legend in the garden and is overseeing veg production in our pollytunnel. So in the summer time she'll be the one looking after the pumpkins! Tim is multi-talented and started off by building some earthy, solid benches. I challenge any camper to match Tim's knowledge of mushrooms, as his is extensive.


 


 

 

Flu - Summer 2010

Flu

 

Flu came and helped out over the summer of 2010 for a few months. He brought a lively, fresh attitude to the farm and got involved at everything we could throw at him.

 


 

 

Steve Jones - Summer 2009 - 2010

Steve Jones

Steve is our new campsite warden around the site. He lives in his beautiful gypsy wagon in Lower Moat and is extremely knowledgeable in the ways of bushcraft and all things nature. Most weekends  he can be found socialising with the campers and making everyones stay more pleasurable - but he'll also be the one making sure everyone behaves!

 


 

 

Ali - Summer 2009 - 2010

Ali and her sculpture

Ali does wonderful things with wood, here is an example of a commison that left for Scotland last year. However she has also made the tree stump outside the Alice Yurt into a bench, and the sign hanging over the barn is her work.

 

 


 

 

Sarah - April 2010 - Aug 2010

Sarah

 

Sarah is currently studying at university but has joined the team this year to help out over the summer. You'll find her at the busy times in reception checking you in but also looking after the Yurts. She's really friendly so don't hesitate to ask for help if you need. Sarah is also a heptathalete and competes to a very high level. So you could challenge her to a race accross Lower Moat!

 

 


 

 

Stan & Eva - March 2010 - Aug 2011

Eva & Stan

 

Since Stan and Eva have arrived they have been great all round the campsite. They are both hardworking and useful to have around. Stan is a bit of a handyman, his most rescent work is the new entrance to the Woodland Yurt, with proper drainage and a nice tidy entrance. Eva has slotted in very well with looking after the Yurts and makes sure they are pristine for each new stay. Both are very friendly and will help out if you need anything.
Stan an Eva have now moved on, for the reason that if they had stayed any longer, they might not have been able to leave!

 

 


 

 

Abbey & Graham June 2010 - August 2011

 

Abbey & Graham

 

Abbey and Graham are a great couple from Scotland who arrived summer 2010 and are planning on staying around. Graham is great at building things (New benches in fields) and Abbey is training up in reception. Both are very good soup chefs and helped out everyday over the summer on saturday providing the soup making machine, of which many campers will testify - produced excellent soup!
