Committees’ work intensifies towards summer

Soon it’ll be only two months to Jukola – first competitions of the spring have been run and competitors are beginning their preparations for Louna-Jukola. Likewise, the organizers continue their active work towards the objective of organizing the best Jukola Relay ever in June.

The Marketing Committee led by Mr. Erkki Haavisto is keeps on looking for partners. The goal is to customize the best possible package of cooperation for each partner.

– There’s still an opportunity of being ”a leg host” and in this way get a lot of positive publicity for your company, says Haavisto.

Louna-Jukola shirts are already for sale online through Louna-Jukola web pages. Other Jukola products will also be introduced on the web pages before Jukola. There will only be a limited number of products, so when at Jukola you’d better hurry to the Jukola shop to get what you want.

The Economy Committee is responsible for e.g. monetary services and operations during the event. Contactless payment is used for the first time in Jukola. This speeds up paying as well as reduces queues.

There will be more cash desks and payment terminals than ever before in Jukola. Altogether, close to 40 cash desks will be used, over 30 of which will be equipped with both cash register and payment terminal. The majority of the terminals will be connected to hardwired broadband network which enables contactless payment. However, it’s good to have some cash too as grills, ice cream kiosks and sauna accept only that.

The Restaurant Committee hopes to be able to forecast weather for Jukola weekend, since that affects the number people present and consequently the consumption of food and drinks. The goal is to serve nourishments for everyone almost without any queuing.

Volunteer work is traditionally crucial for organizing Jukola. Especially various restaurant tasks still lack volunteers. You can register as a volunteer even if you participate Louna-Jukola as a competitor! See more about volunteer work (in Finnish) or contact directly the volunteer chief at talkoot.2015@jukola.com.
