Joe At The Rock Festival
I told my Son on Friday that now he is thirteen it is time to give something back to the community and that he should come help with Rock Festival for the day.
I expected him to find reasons not to do it, but was very pleased that he immediately agreed.
So it was that he rose at the crack of dawn on a Sunday during school Summer Holidays and came out for fifteen hours of hard work.
He was helping set up at the outset, spent the day picking litter and stewarding and pitching in 100% and was still there in the darkness, when the crowds had all gone home, alongside the other volunteers packing down gazebos and lifting metal railings into stacks.
He didn’t complain once, just worked alongside everybody until the very end.
When you add in my Mum and Stepdad, there were three generations of our family working at the event. I am extremely proud of my Son for joining the crazy family tradition of volunteering. Well done, Joe.
Well done Joe, we need more young people like you x

That’s fantastic!!
Looks like both you and your wife brought him up with good sence and values.
Great work Joe thank you very much for your help
Joe was excellent all day! All the way from start to finish!
If children are taught life’s values from an early age then families could be as proud of their children as you are of yours. With encouragement most will enjoy giving a helping hand. Well done to you and all the fantastic team who give up their time for the residents of this lovely town. You should all be very proud of what you achieve.
Well done Joe
