Working at Glasto?

[ramble on]

Hi,

I am going to be litter picking at this years festival, just wondered if there was anyone else out there that is going to be working too??

Don't worry - the litter crews have nowt to do with the bogs, Wateraid do all that.

I did litter picking last year: had a good laugh, would be doing it again but we applied too late because I persuaded some other mates to apply and they didn't get their act together in time. All is well though, managed to get some cheeky spots with Oxfam when they briefly re-opened applications last month.

Feel free to ask any questions about the litter picking lot.

Listening to the two of you seems makes me feel lucky that I payed for my ticket. Although I have the greatest of respect for those that make such an effort to tidy up the place.

I worked as a car park steward in 2004 and thought it was great. 2 of the 3 shifts were before the friday so didn't have to miss too much of the music, but the 12am-8am shift on the saturday night/sunday morning was a KILLER... had a private campsite and discount on food and the compnay was good. so enjoy!

I'll be litter picking. It's not too bad. You're done by 12 at the latest and then you've got the whole day to yourself. The worst day of work is the monday morning when you haven't got anything to look forward to afterwards.

Does anyone know if any of these companies still need staff?? I am desperate to go , i missed out again in the resale today!

I'm sure there'll be dropouts so it's worth checking.

I know that litterpicking is full but if you look on the official Glasto website then there's options for other sort of work - not sure whether they are still looking or what though?? Worth a shot!

Wanderlei - I think you must be working different shifts or something from me because i have got to do 2 mornings and then 2 afternoons. Don't suppose you know what sort of time the afternoon shifts finish do you??

I'm litter-picking also, Ramble On. Doing Morning litter pick, first time working at Glasto - am expecting a totally different festival experience.

Now, is it an alnighter and sleeping in the afternoon or straight to bed at Midnite?

I'm working at the Festival for Oxfam, done it last year and it was really good, 3 shifts over 7 days (1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 night).

I got really lucky last year and got really good shifts, hardly missed any of the festival, and we were working on the hospitality gate, so the workload wasn't too heavy and got to meet some interesting folk.

Would reccomend it to anyone, but you need to get your applications in for March as Glasto spots fill up quickly.

Hey,

Serial lurker, first post so hello!

Its my first year working at Glastonbury this year, so thought I'd pop in and say hi! I'm working the mornings Thursday-Monday, team Shangri-la. Looking forward to it! As a final year student its the only way I can afford to go.

I haven't been to the festival since I was a kiddy of about 8, so don't really remember much - counting this as my first year. Litterpick for my first Glasto, a baptism of fire possibly??
