I also took a video with my cell phone.

I assume that the various personnel in the cheese market performance are identified in the presentation. But I did not hear the loudspeaker so I am going by what is written on the website.

In addition to the Cheese Father there is the
Zetter - Puts the cheese from the lorries on the market early in the morning, and loads the barrows. They are dressed in black trousers and a blue shirt.

Unloading the trucks

In 1950 they unloaded the trucks by throwing the cheeses so they bounced down to the man on the ground stacking the cheses on a pallet

Ingooier When the cheeses are weighed, the ingooiers toss them from the barrows in wood handcarts and take them to the lorries. They are recognised by their black trousers and light fawn shirts.

The so-called forwarding companies, are active in the guild, each of them having their own particular colour: red, green, blue, and yellow, and consisting of 6 cheese carriers and a tasman. The colours are also seen in the cheese carriers’ straw hats, bow ties, and barrows.
