I lost my car keys on the Wednesday 2008. I went to lost property the next day and they already had a box of keys to look through. They offered me some cheese on toast while I looked through them. Unfortunately they weren’t there so I left my details. A month after the festival the keys came through the post with a lovely note basically saying I hope these were what you were looking for and if not send them back. Where else would you get customer service like that than Glastonbury.

I vaguely remember at the time it was slated to be repeated the following year, however logitically this proved very difficult because it became so complicated to complete all the festivals official requirements for the event to reoccur.
The only reason we didn’t do it in 2011 was the amount of time and effort it took up in 2010 (2009 and 2010 we still had to risk assess, get approval from the festival and Wateraid legal team with any posters etc so logistically it didn’t get any worse).
This effort increases because we wanted it to raise more money (as Michael Eavis challenged us to at least double the amount from 2009) and be a bigger event. Having to organise the fundraising and more entertainment (Attila the stock broker and the super group Wronghorn were there for half time entertainment and Supernovas for post match, as well as Hobo Jones as the usual pre match warm up) took up a lot of time before the festival and even on the Wednesday.
As Nal’s picture from 2011 shows, we probably dodged a bullet as it wouldn’t have been the same in them conditions!

I remember being there and watching the game; Hobo Jones, putting names to faces etc. T'was fantastic start to the festi. How long ago does it already seem....
Too long!
Due to the charities losing income from the 2020 festival cancellation we were discussing bringing it back as a one off for 2021 but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

Best efestivals moment of all time - When we had the football match on the pyramid field on the Wed (or was it Thur) pre the festival erm in 2010 or was it 2011 (no idea) , Hobo Jones played at half time, cheerleaders, England vs the rest of the world and a load of spectators .... absolutely brilliant .... oh and anyone know how much was raised ?
I just remember my wateraid t shirt, and remembering to pack my pom poms before going out for the day 🙂
Anyone got any pictures of memories from that day ?
The efestivals World Cup games were 2009 (Wednesday) and 2010 (Thursday).
2009 raised over £3000 and 2010 over £9000.
and England won both...easily 😄

Now if someone can just dig up the picture of @hogga celebrating.......
Don't you dare show that picture again!
It is definitely a lot of work to organise before and especially on the day but well worth the effort.

Accessibility as a group
in Questions
Posted
I would suggest using the access bus to take you and your stuff from the yellow car park to Spring ground and meet you friends there. Your friends can enter Spring ground if you meet them at the gate near to whee the bus drops you off. They can then help move your stuff to where you are camping.
