Preamble:

Howzit – and welcome back! You know the drill, and you’ve also filled out our Questionnaire before, so there’s no need for the full song and dance.

However, here are a few refresher questions just to ensure that you’re as prepped as can be for that wild ride into the desert and everything it brings.

  1. You know that AfrikaBurn’s not just a jol, and that Leave No Trace means your campsite should be free of anything other than footprints once you

leave. But do your campmates know?

  • Probably, but you can never tell with those nutters.

  • I don’t know half of them. Guess I need to tool them up.

  1. Are you aware that in order to fly a drone or remotely-operated aircraft of any description, you have to contact our Airspace crew (so that nobody is

injured by flying chunks of metal)?

  • Say, what? But it’s just a little toy drone! (doesn’t matter mate: it’s still a flying chunk of metal)

  • I didn’t know that, but thanks for filling me in.

  1. As with drones, are you aware that it’s not possible to drive a Mutant Vehicle on site without registering it? This means any form of motorised transport,

significantly modified so it no longer looks like a ‘normal’ vehicle. Scooters, land boards and quads are not Mutants: mutate it - and register it - or park it.

  • Huh. I kinda knew that, but totally ignored it last time. I’ll register my mutant this time round, thanks.

  • I know this, and am tooling up a Unicornus Rex from an old VW, thanks.

  1. Have you seen the pink wristbands that people wear? They’re a visual signal that the wearer is not interested in being captured on photo, or video.

  • Never seen them, but thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep an eye out in future.

  • Seen them, and I think they’re great.

  1. If you’re gifting booze, are you aware that anyone 18 or under wears a different coloured wristband, so you’re able to identify who’s OK (and not OK)

to gift your drink to?

  • Hell, that’s organised, thanks for letting me know.

  • I’d never gift booze to anyone that looks underage: I need it all for myself!

OK, we’re nearly done here. What follows is a declaration of intent that you need to absorb and act on, once you get to Tankwa Town.

Before you sign off here, there’s one really important thing you need to bear in mind:

BY BUYING A TICKET, YOU’RE SIGNING UP TO BE A CREW MEMBER.

Why? Because – unlike a music festival or party - the event is entirely created by active participation. That’s why volunteering is such an important part of

AfrikaBurn.

This doesn’t mean you’re expected to work the entire time – but there is an expectation that you contribute and pull your weight. If there’s something that

needs doing, do it. If there’s someone who clearly doesn’t get it, take the time to explain it to them, kindly. That’s how the entire thing is held together – and

it’s where the magic happens.

Ready to do this? Make the pledge.

I pledge to honour the ethos of AfrikaBurn by being an active participant in Tankwa Town and apply myself to adding to the magic of the

community by gifting, participating and leaving no trace.

• I have read and agree to the pledge.
