  3. T-Shirts

    in Chat

    Posted

    I'm looking for some online sites that do good quality printed t-shirts preferably XXL. Not interested in the typical cheap stag do ones looking more for contemporary designs. And before anyone suggests it yes I have an e-festivals one it arrived today. So I'll be the 6'4" bloke with the olive e-fest t-shirt at the cider bus lol

  10. Glastonbury Coverage Archive

    I just moved house and among the chaos I found 4 VHS tapes which I think have the entire 1994 Channel 4 coverage on them which a relative kindly taped for me!

    Whether they actually do or not I'm not sure coz i don't have a VHS player anymore - but when I find out, i'll let you know...

    I've heard that thieves are prepared to buy tickets these days, a £125 investment when they can steal £100's of pounds worth of gear over a few days. But I'd agree that WOMAD/Reading being so close to a town centre does not help the crim situation, and Reading can be dodgy at the best of times, but security at Reading (not been to WOMAD) in the campsite has always been lapse, every year numerous people camp at Reading without wristbands, its too easy for people to get on site without a ticket and that needs to be addressed.

    Doesnt help that a public right of way runs through the site.. but all they need is a day ticket as there is no seperate entrance

    Are there any sort of lockers at Reading, and if so how much do they cost? I never have a huge amount of cash on me (use cashpoints) but if my train ticket AND my bank card are nicked I'm absolutely stuffed!

    There will be secure lock-ups in each campsite zone and also one at Reaper Bridge. They are free as far as I remember and are run by WAVES and are manned 24/7

    I informed one of the directors of the security for Reading on the problems at WOMAD and they were going to liase with TVP and MB on the problem.

    I agree it is becoming worse, this year at Wickerman there was the same problem despite not being a problem in past years.

    Never heard of any thefts happening last weekend at another small festival but no doubt there was at some point over the weekend.

    All the suggestions above sound like good ideas, increasing numbers in security and making fences more secure may not help as it does seem to be people with tickets carrying out the thefts.

    I dont do much with them the last couple years as now in full time work but sometimes I used to be away most the summer with them.

    Just do what gigs you can.. its good fun but hard work/long hours at times.

    I aint worked this year yet for them as been taking a year out and going to more festivals... but will probably do Reading

    I have worked doing security at festivals for 15 years now with Specialized Security.

    We do Reading/Glasto/Hi-Fi/NASS and most of Mean Fiddlers festies plus Guilfest and a few others.

    There is also Rock Steady,Showsec and Stuart Security who do alot over the country and a few other smaller ones too.

    Best just to contact them, do a search on google for contact details and apply to work with who you want to.
