not seen them before ... but yes presumably after googling ...
Thanks for that, these are the guys who do the paid work. I am waiting on the wateraid decisions. Did you end up applying for WaterAid Alex?

Does anyone know how long Water Aid have taken to make decisions in previous years?
Someone has just posted a thread about being accepted for PooCrew, is this different to WaterAid?

I was one of the lucky few who managed to reserve a place. I refreshed the page a couple of seconds after 11:30, completed my form and entered card details within about 20s, then went straight to another browser window to do the same for my GF (already logged in and ready) but they had sold out! You basically had to click immediately after 11:30 to get in.
Hopefully we should be able to get my GF a place at some point over the next few months.
It'll be my first time as a volunteer, and I'm very much looking forward to it!
Well done and good luck for your GF, me and my daughter got nowhere. You'll enjoy the first experience of volunteering!

I know this may have been covered in the last 32 pages but it will probably take me past 11:30 to find it!
Could anyone who's been before advise on the sort of shifts you're expected to complete? I know friends who've done 3 6-8 hour shifts spread out from say Wednesday to Monday at others, would this be similiar or would you be working at least some point every day?
It has always been 3 8 hour shifts spread over three days of the festival

Come on, we'll all do this - good luck

Don't know whether to pick two for Priority or not next year - did a count and looks like I'll have done >10 in the last 10 years in 2021 with Bearded in the bag now for this year:
2011 - Glasto,
2014 - Bearded,
2015 - Bearded and B-Days,
2016 - Bearded and Shambala,
2017 - Bearded and Boomtown,
2018 - Bearded,
2019 - Bearded,
2020 - Just signed up to Bearded again!
They don't forget all these on their database do they or something....?
No, they don't forget them. I was trying to get accepted as priority under the 10 from 10 rule. They had all mine done from 2012. I was hoping they would take into to consideration a couple of extra shifts I'd done at Tramlines due to no-shows but unfortunately not so I'll be on tenterhooks till next week.

Has anyone got lucky with Twickets tickets then?
Managed to get Frank Carter a couple of years ago. Not a sniff with Lizzo the other week. Plenty of alerts but never quick enough. Interesting to hear that the alerts are slightly delayed to the main website. Whilst I'm here, looking for one for the Academy next week for Idles.

Just had an email to say the Glastonbury book is back in stock at £12.99 at The Book People. Just ordered one

Sat beside billy Bragg on the grass behind a tent in the green peace field after he had played a few impromptu songs this year and discussed Scottish politics. He doesn’t like nationalists and detests selfies
Had a chat and a selfie with Billy AT Bearded Theory as few years ago and he was fine. Then I walked away and couldn't see the picture and asked him for another, he wasn't too happy then!!

Is that right? I thought you paid a hefty deposit to volunteer? Pretty sure I did when I worked Reading but that was years back.
You pay the full fee as a deposit to volunteer. However if you cancel before the deadline you get all the money less the deadline.

Well at least I didn't create Ghandi's Flip Flop out of my head! I guess I just go looking for an obviously Indian food outlet selling bacon butties in the morning - can't be many of them
They are normally on the left as you enter the field about 4 vendors in. I really can't wait now, thinking about the food there gets me as excited as the bands.

Cheers for that - I shall check it out - I'm thinking it might be Gandi's flipflop, but may well have just made that up out of no where
Ghandi's Flip Flop and the Indian are two separate vendors. The indian sells veg and non-veg. Ghandi's just vegetarian. Both great! The Indian is called just that Indian Food. Half a dozen sikh guys I think, very clean and tidy.

I'm looking to get there about noon. Gentle drive down from Manchester, picking up my mate from the airport who is flying in from Belfast, brekkie on the way. Also have a new tent, one of those inflatable ones. Had a trial run on the field last week. Cannot wait.

I was hoping for nothing I was particularly interested in on the Thursday as was going to have a good drink then and take it easy for the rest of the festival and actually remember some of the acts. The past 3 or 4 years too many acts have passed me by through over-indulging. However love Beans so that plan might go out of the window.

Most pints were Red Stripe too which sucks. The Maltsmith IPA was nice though, still £5.50 is a bit much.
Took me a couple of days to find the Maltsmith and even longer to find the Frontier Bar!!

My first time at Boomtown and again volunteering for Oxfam for about the 10th time. I had a similar experience to Amfy. After the first day or so I didn't really get it. My favourite areas of Glastonbury are Avalon and Acoustic and Green fields area. I didn't really think there was much for me. However, once I got into it, I found lots of places to go and see and find the music I loved. Especially loved wandering around the Old Town and the attention to detail is unbelievable. Didn't really get all the Ami stuff and not really my bag. I got hundreds of people asking about her though. I was a supervisor in the downtown area Amfy and realise now that it was you requesting stewards for a good few hours. I was a few stewards down through no shows and illness so I can understand the issues you were facing. There was a lot less people out of it than I had expected and overall it was a great experience though not sure I would go again. Being a volunteer didn't leave a great lot of time and I feel totally knackered now and the cost of a ticket is a lot for the bands I tend to go see compared to the cost of Bearded Theory etc and is a long way from Manchester where I am from. Did my most ever steps one day I was working over 42k and 19.8 miles!! My favourite stages were Hanger 161(loved the ethos), Earache factory, Skank inn Old Mine and Old Town. Favourite acts Skatalites, Dubioza Kolectiv, Havana meets Kingston.

What decision have you come to ? I'm down to waiting on PooCrew, WaterAid, and wether I can get an Oxfam place. I think I take whichever comes first if any.
