IF I get after festival clean up again, we have an added shift. We now have to work Tues - Fri 8am-5pm. Lot's of people don't want to do after clean up as it uses their holidays, so adding an extra day won't help. I am due back to work 400 miles North of Glastonbury, on Sunday 7th July. Travelling all day on Saturday and no time to recover is going to be fun. However... The good far outweighs the bad. I love our team. I feel really proud when we stand back and look at a clean field that we have picked. And of course, Toms field 🥰

Myself and Mr CG will be there. Convoying in with a load of friends into the campervan fields.

BDs have responded and said it wouldn't be allowed and they're in different fields. Cheers though x

Thank you. I have one already, it's for a friend. I appreciate your reply 😊 x

I've asked amongst my friends for a campervan pass for sale. I've been offered a caravan/trailer tent pass. Would a campervan be allowed in on a caravan pass? I've emailed BDs and awaiting a response, but I'm impatient and don't want to leave my friend with the pass for sale hanging 🤣 Thank you x

Aye, he'll be a bit broken by the end 😂

Cool. There were 3 teams last year, all starting furthest away from Toms field and working back. In response to your previous question, yes you can keep any booze found, and there will be alot of it. People tend to leave some in Toms field marquis.

Yes I have. What team are you on? I'm team 1. We basically cleaned up the campsites Tues - Thursday, 8-5pm with a lunch break. Its hard work but rewarding x

Did you get a T&C band? We have to meet up this year, pre festival. I came looking for the binnies compound but couldn't find it. Can we make a plan say on Monday? If you're not still painting that is xx

Thanx for this! I'd never heard of it, but managed to watch it on YouTube during the night. It really makes you think about how it must affect the locals, especially back then! A very impartial documentary.

God I love them!! They make me so blooming happy 😁. They're playing Thursday at Bearded Theory.

I can safely say I could spend all weekend at Avalon and be a very happy lass. As others have said, It's very Avalon! Which to me is amazing. I'm fearing a Lizzo/Jake Shears clash though!

That I am! I saw him a couple of weeks ago at Wroot Rocks in Doncaster. Muddibrooke were supporting. It was an amazing evening x

Mr CG and I have this, without all of the fancy bags on. The sides and front are adjustable. We put some lightweight plywood on the base and used bungess. As long as the heavy stuff is at the front, it's very light to lift and steer. And it all packs down to fit in the car.

I wouldn't have bought it if they wouldn't allow me. All decathalons have a big hall above the shop where they do teambuilding etc.

They allowed me to put it up in the shop. I wish it had more internal pockets, and I think the internal door is zipped up wrong, but apart from that, it's perfect!!

Inflatable Camping Tent Air Seconds 4.1 F&B 4 Person 1 Bedroom QUECHUA - Decathlon Just bought this! I'm very excited! I have loved my 2 man pop up fresh and black for 5 years. Now there's 2 of us, and spending 12 days on the farm, this will be my little bit of luxury 😊

I had the best night in there last year, spent hours sat on the tube talking to random people.

My application was approved! I need to catch up with you properly this year. Are you doing the bins again? x

All of the ketamin!! Like, it's everywhere. Oh, and wee toiny spoons. Some remnants of pills were found, but were wet.

On Friday I submitted my application to volunteer, and paid the deposit. On Saturday I was declined Annual leave. It's not the end of the world as I'm lucky enough to be able to swap shifts, it's just a ball ache finding people to cover them, and if for some reason they have to cancel at short notice due to sickness, suspension etc, I'll be knackered. Plus it means I need to work an extra 80 hours between now and then so I don't have a negative TOIL balance.

I was post festival clear up and also didn't know of any bars open. Even Toms bar was closed as they had ran out of everything. However, after those backbreaking shifts, the last thing I wanted to do was party!! Plenty of tins can be found in the campsites if you run out of beer. I received and submitted my application to work on Friday evening. I can't see a lot of change in the shifts. They've named them after colours, or After festival. And bunched areas together. Also Veterans don't get veterans shifts any more.

Not really much to talk about is there? Shame, these forums used to be bouncing with announcements from the old crew.

Same, been every year since 2010. I have more reason to fear the undry weather as I am now lucky enough to be on the clean up crew. And I think that would be blooming awful with that sticky brown stuff on the ground! But, we shall continue to praise the weather gods, give them our daily sacrifices, and have an aura of positivity ☺️... For a repeat of 2010. And hello to you all! Been a long while since I came on here. How are you? x

I definitely noticed a change in the dynamic of people attending this year. Loads more were off their t*ts and incapable of looking after themselves. I have no issue with people taking drugs, I do have an issue when they don't take them responsibly and cause risk to themselves and others. The rise in capacity also isn't an issue, but they also need to increase the facilities. The toilets in the campervan field were literally overflowing on the first night. As for this new possible festival... I'm all over it 😉
