volunteering/litter picking at this years festival?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

has anyone ever worked with cash and traffic management before?

I worked with Stuart Security on my own last year and had a great time. the work is very very dull, but not hard. Either sat down for 8 hours or stood up for 8 hours!

I would never have been able to afford a ticket, and I think on the whole weekend I spent £50, so came out with a profit.

They have their own nice(ish- before sunday anyway) toilets and showers, as well as £2 meals.

Their campsite was about 5 minutes walk from Ped Gate B last year, though they said that was the first year they had been there.

If anyone is going with them I recommend getting there before about 3 on Tuesday as the registration was getting very busy and some people were still queueing at 2am...

I'm doing it again this year but taking friends.

CND volunteers run the lock-ups at Glastonbury as well as a few of the other festivals.

If you want paid work DC are awesome, but Stuarts are pretty good as well. Stuarts you pay a 200 deposit, get £6 an hour and only have to do 24 hours for your deposit back. Most of their stewards on the gates are finished by Saturday anyway

I'm traveling down to the site on the 16th with one of the organisers to check out how its coming on, well she is, i'm just driving! Anyone who's worked on the site early know if I'll be able to put my tent up in pennards then and leave it up for the week till it opens?

Have heard there are always a few tents up before the gates open in Dragons and pennards.

For anyone doing the litter picking, how do you find out where your picking? I just know im on early team B, it doesnt say where that will be picking though

If you have access onsite then really there is nothing stopping you putting up a tent { provided its a camping area of course }

there will be loads of people by that time so you will not be the first.

A topic in this year's licence application was the issue of crew camping in public areas. There was a proposal that security sweep the public fields before gates open, to make sure crew were not using those areas.

I've no idea if it will happen, but something to be aware of.

I am hoping to do either stewarding or traffic management for DCSS this year. I'm guessing stewarding would be more interesting than traffic management. Has any done these before?

[glasto-worker]

DCSS need an extra 60 staff for Glastonbury Festival

Any view on the likelyhood of this? Especially glasto-worker?

I think Rufus Gwertigan has cleared this up.

If I was you just leave a note inside the tent explaining who you work for and a contact number so if they want to track you down then they can.

sure they may try to clear tents if they think they are not connected to Glasto but I doubt they will touch your tent.

[glasto-worker]

good idea, thanks again...x

At a briefing at the farm yesterday it was stressed about not using public camping, and that it will be enforced prior to Wednesday, license conditions etc. Talking to other people, it seems like this message has gone out to quite a few teams, and is being taken much more seriously this year.

Whether absolutely everyone will be moved on who knows, but it's not looking like the free for all it once was.
