Cheap entertainment

The decision to double the funding for the Olympic opening and closing ceremonies is no surprise to those who've realised the costs of volunteering.

The requirement - you have to be available for up to 12 hours a week, in three separate sessions, for eight weeks. Plus "a number of all day sessions in the three weeks before each ceremony".  And, until yesterday, there were no travel expenses.  Now "it is possible for us to offer assistance.. between certain zones within the Transport for London network".

If the thought of 120+ hours of unpaid labour is weighed against the chance of being spotted for stardom in a crowd of 10,000, and you fancy the gamble, then it seems all you need is rhythm and balls.....

Breaking news: We need more men - particularly if you have rhythm! This means those of you who can dance but also drum, or do any sport, job, or hobby that involves keeping to time. Sign up now for the opportunity of a lifetime. Previous performance experience is not required; Ceremonies Volunteer Performers simply need lots of enthusiasm, personality, a positive attitude, huge amounts of energy and a willingness to perform in front of a stadium audience and to millions of people around the world.
