[Glasto and School]

I use the following wording in letters to my daughter's school and have never been fined:

Dear Headteacher,

I am writing to let you know that 'name' of 'whatever' class will be absent from school from Wednesday 24th June to Friday 26th June inclusive. 'Name' will be attending Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts which is an important part of our family culture. If you would like to provide 'name' with any work that will be missed during this absence I will ensure that the work is completed by 'name' to the best of his/her ability.

I accept that this absence will be marked as unauthorised as this is school policy and thank you for your understanding.

Kind Regards

[Just bought a Tent]

had a feeling but to be fair I did not really have a great look at it cos it was in a display undercover and next to loads of other tents!

Oh thats cool!

Question what's with the bag! its all unfoldy! and is it easy to put up?

[Chairs]

Thank you everyone for your replies, I intend to be pretty far back behind the mixing desk so hopefully won't get in anyone's way.

I'll attach glow sticks to my chair and walking stick at night to save people tripping and any painful knocks for me. Not sure what I can do to prevent people from tripping over me during the day though, some sort of high visibility tape maybe?

[Chairs]

Hi,

I went to my first Glastonbury last year and took a chair as I can only stand still for a few minutes before needing to sit down. Mostly when at the Pyramid stage I was able to get on the disabled platform but a couple of times there was no room left and I had to sit in the crowd (far back nowhere near the front).

Having read a few threads on this forum I now realise that chairs can be a bit on the unpopular side and wondered what the best thing to do was. Where is the most inoffensive place to sit if the disabled platform is full? Or should I avoid the area completely?

Thanks for looking
