Starchild771 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ohh it looks like some people tried to digging under the fence. "Digging under fence ?? areas possibly due to more robust security" "security - 700 evictions - constant flow no more digging discovered" "security - eviction tent now closed 793 total Saturday pm relaxed a bit - would have had over 1,000" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilloggie Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 44,000 cars, nearly 6,000 campervan's, plus all the people leaving on coaches,busses to the train station, people being collected at the pick up points etc is one hell of a quantity of vehicles. I will never moan again if i am stuck in a traffic jam on my way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 One of the most original and funny threads for a long time. Nice find and FOI request. Just brilliant. The title alone should win a medal. I will never moan again if i am stuck in a traffic jam on my way out. Oh, I'm pretty sure I will. I'm starting already. The A303...

MoilyX Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Fascinating insight into the amount of organisation that goes on while the festival is in progress. Would LOVE to see the notes for 2007. The amount of on-the-fly adaptation and divergence from their usual plans must have been of mental proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie_and_a_pint Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) He wasn't the only one. Had it tried a few times. Yes, ditto. Kept trying to get people to feel his plums. From experience, early in the week they were rather underripe and somewhat overpriced, but by Sunday there were a bit mushy and bruised.

Bet they'll be disappointed then because it appears very well run and organised. Anyone know why Bruce Forsyth wanted to drive down the railway line?? I assume because the railway line is right next to where the Avalon stage is where he was performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltzmann Brain Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 If I was Bruce Forsyth, I'd want to drive the entire length of the railway line greeting everyone with a "nice to see you" and a cheesy grin. It will be interesting to see if Mendip Council publishes the Event Management Plan after reviewing their decision not to. As the originator of the FOI points out, the old license/operating schedule was released in response to FOI requests. The Fit for Purpose and Fit for the Future document (also released in response to that FOI request) gives a great example of the impracticality of complying with legislation and regulations intended for smaller venues.... A plan to the scale of 1:100 cannot be created for the site as the size would cover approximately ten acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
