Hello Flufftails,
Want to help out to make Wild North a great event for everyone? We're looking for volunteers to lend a paw over the weekend.
We have a range of areas where people can volunteer to help out:
Cook Team
At Wild North, we provide catering, so we need paws in the kitchen to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Events
Whether it'd be assisting in indoor or outdoor events, or running your own event.
Musicians
Can you play an instrument? Or can sing a good tune? We have music events and are open to talented contributors.
First Aiders
We're looking for qualified first aiders (minimum Emergency First Aid at Work) that can provide assistance to our attendees.
General
Of course, there are other ways you can help us out, whether it is moving equipment or setting things up.
If any of these interest you, let us know: wildnorthuk@gmail.com

It’s the end of July, and just under two months until Wild North 2022. As it’s payday for many people, a reminder there’s just under one month until reg closes.

By the way, we have one person looking to transfer their reg. If you'd like to buy their reg, please email us at wildnorthuk@gmail.com

Hey Flufftails,
I’d like to announce that the charity we are supporting this year is a dog and cat rescue organization based in the North East called Stray Aid.
They work to rescue, reunite or rehome the lost, abused, abandoned or unwanted dogs and cats found on the streets in the North East of England.
Donations will be welcome over the weekend, and a couple of charity representatives will join us for a Meet the Charity event on Sunday Morning to let you know more about their work.
If you wish to know more, here’s a link to their website: https://strayaid.org.uk/
Looking forward to seeing you all at Wild North, and here’s hoping we can raise a good sum together to help these guys out!

Hey Flufftails!
The Wild North Kubb Tournament is returning this year!
For those unfamiliar with Kubb, it’s an old Viking lawn game of knocking down your opponent's towers before finishing the king. (Here's a link with a quick rule overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtqVqrcVgVY )
This is a team event, and we're asking interested people to sign up ahead of the con.
We need at least four teams of three players, and yes, fursuiters can play and are actively encouraged! (Though we do have a limit of one suiter per team.)
So gather your raiding party, pillage your enemies' towers and topple the king!
Email us at wildnorthuk@gmail.com or message @Tyde_Ratmeat with team sign-ups and we'll get you on the roster. We look forward to some interesting team names!
Let’s see your battle skills!

Hey Flufftails!
This year at Wild North, we ask the age-old question… Do furries have talent?
Husk will attempt to find an answer to this query with the Furries Got Talent show!
So if you like to sing, shake your tail or have another talent you’d like to showcase for us, now’s the time to step up and show us your stuff!
Even if you don’t have a talent, why not pretend you do and attempt it by making it as funny as possible?
If you want to take part, sign-ups are here https://forms.gle/vBCbBtJfGkS2nyTR6
If you have any questions, message @HuskBoio for more details.
Show us what you got!
