Young Volunteers

And there are so many benefits for young volunteers
too! Take it from someone who volunteered for her
first festival at 19 years of age. Signing up for Derby
CAMRA Winter Ale Festival is a great opportunity.

Experience is gold dust for any CV and our festival is an
excellent environment to develop your existing skills
as well as gain new ones. If you’re looking to work in
a customer-facing role then working behind one of
our bars or on our membership stall will provide you
with thousands of customers and a supportive team
to help you. Going into HR? Why not try a shift on our
volunteers desk and help coordinate the hundreds of
volunteers that keep our festival running? Aspiring to
move up to management?

We’ll be running bar management training at this
year’s festival, led by our very popular and experienced
bar management team. If you’re looking to work
in the events trade then our set-up and take-down
sessions are a chance to experience the manual and
logistics side of running a great festival.

Or maybe you’re considering entering the brewing
industry itself? Perfect! We’re looking to recruit new
members to our cellar team, where you can gain
valuable training and experience in the transportation,
storage and maintenance of cask and keg beer.

Many of our experienced volunteers are also brewers
themselves who can tell you more about the process.
Whichever role you take on at Derby Winter Ale
Festival 2019, you will be working with a fantastic
team of volunteers. We’re all very passionate about
what we do and our festival is one of the most
popular in the country. If this is your first festival with
us you can add valuable new skills to your CV.

If you have volunteered with us before and are
returning again, why not have a chat your bar
manager or one of the festival management team
about possibly providing you with a reference? We
appreciate the hard work of all our volunteers and
love to see that effort pay off in our working lives too.

SQUASHED TOMATO The Squashed Tomato on The Strand in Derby’s
Cathedral Quarter, opened its doors on 6th November
BEST NEWCOMER 2018 2017.

MARKETING DERBY FOOD & DRINK AWARDS 2018 Owner, Anna Haynes, had previously owned The
Delicafe @ Brailsford, which was successful for the 5
24 IMSAVVY.CO.UK - ISSUE 1 - 2019 years that it was open.

The unit on The Strand became vacant and Anna
decided to grab the opportunity to move to a City
Centre location and take her successful formula to a
wider audience.

Anna goes on to tell us what that “formula” is. “It’s pretty
simple really – we offer the warmest welcome in comfortable
surroundings.

We serve really great coffee and a wide variety of award
winning lose leaf teas. All our food is homemade with real
passion for flavour and presentation.

Our returning customers have told us that it’s because of
the warmth and familiarity, as well as the tasty food that
they return.”

Anna truly believes that there are many people who are fed
up with the generic, big name high street coffee shops and
eateries.

Customers want more independents that offer value
for money and a bit of individuality, along with simple,
delicious, home cooked food rather than mass produced
and pre-packaged.

If this is the sort of thing you are looking for, then The
Squashed Tomato is well worth a visit!

They are child friendly with baby changing facilities and a
children’s menu. There is wheelchair access.

The venue is available for bespoke private gatherings – baby
showers, Birthdays, three course evening meals. They also
do fabulous, pre-bookable afternoon teas too!

Give The Squashed Tomato a go! We hear Anna’s Cider
Rarebit is to die for!!
