Please complete this form if you wish to apply for a place as a WWOOF volunteer at KAT

We have had around 340 WWOOF's in just over 6 years. Most have been great but some have been a real pain in the arse ("butt" in yank speak). To try to sort the wheat from the chaff we have compiled a list of questions. It is in both your and our interests for you to answer them as honestly as you can. They are in no particular order.   We should stress that some of the people who live here and a lot of the really good wwoof's who have stayed for months would have a hard time with some of these.  Think about them.
