The first week of the festival and my first stewarding session of the season.
Laka D is brilliant and the choir, embarrassingly for such an area, all white, some known to me, singing beautiful upbeat jazzy songs.
As a lowly steward my task was to stand there, give out programmes and wear a yellow lanyard with my name on it. You would think that was pretty easy.
Mistake number 1 Got there one minute too early and crashed the professional organisers meeting instead of waiting for the stewards briefing. The pros tend to huddle together and whisper as if they were organising the D Day landings
Mistake number 2 Do not get your lanyard twisted! Mine was and worse still came off entirely when I removed my scarf
mistake number 3 Missing out on the fire steward duties. They consist of sitting on a chair by the exit until the end of the show. Instead I opted for giving out the programmes-and that led to
Mistake number 4 Surely I should not need reminding to add the word 'free' to the word programme when dishing them out. Avoids that dash past you
