March Stewards

Each marching bloc will have 1 designated lead steward, who has direct communication to the head stewards as well as the other lead stewards.

All marching blocs will keep at least 5 meters distance from each other, to facilitate march flow and social distancing.

We are asking all affiliated unions attending the march to provide at least one steward for every 20 people attending.

Stewards vests will be available on the day and all stewards will be asked to attend a pre-march meeting on site at 10am.

Some stewards may be asked to support the general march as well as their own section.

Please send you stewards names and contact details to kliptrot@stuc.org.uk
