Old Gits Meet 2011

[DevilMadeMeDoIt]

Dave must be having a sleep. A hard day play bowls :-)

[DaveMac]

Sorry guys about delay in posting - I have been busy with work and not been able to give this my full attention alas.

I have got my Victor Meldrew mask today (and if you want one the cheapest available is *HERE*)

Anyway I would like us to start at the Cider Bus on Thursday, after the proposed flashmob has finished at the Stone Circle, as I want to be there for that.

(I thought it was about 5pm but it is actually at 9.15pm B*gger)

So I am thinking about 6.30pm(ish) onwards; stay around Cider Bus to chat for maybe 1-2 hours and then go off en-masse somewhere...

I would like us to all wear something cheap and simple that show that we are all in the OGM - apart from masks has anyone any suggestions?

I am going to try and get 50 badges of the 'Efestivals Old Gits at Glasto Meet 2011' made as a souvenier, which will hand out to paricipants. It is not 100% confirmed yet as I want to talk to the badge makers to see if they can be delivered in time. If it does happen any donation toward the cost would be welcomed.

I want to keep this simple as trying to keep tabs on a large group of people during a festival is well nigh impossible - I heard it described recently as 'cat hearding' lol

I therefore propose we decide on a max of 2 venues for the evening and stick with those. I would like some help here guys and gals - your suggestions are welcomed otherwise I will arbitarily choose a couple of places to attend. EDIT: The Spirit of '71 stage has limited information regarding times on the Thursday alas. I have just been checking the Halvin Clashfinder and nothing listed but some info appears on the Official Glasto sit - so not sure about this now...

I know at some stage I will be meeting Lucy and a number of other efest friends, who will be in 'The Snakepit' up at Shangri-la, but quite when this will happen I am not sure.

Anyone else apart from me and TSU fancy attending 'The Snakepit' or is that place a bit too decadent for the rest of you?

Anyway any positive suggestions about any aspect of this meet would be welcomed.

Many Thanks for your patience..

Best Wishes

Dave

Hi, I'm officially middle aged now; hair and hormones are out of control, so definitely qualify as a " hag" and may join you!

Any thoughts on what we girlies should wear?

And does anyone fancy "Guilty Pleasures" on Thursday night?

Happy to follow the herd though!

[youngatheart]

I'll vote for this too

[Woz06]

Sounds great. Did i hear Victor Meldrew mentioned, say no more... hubby and I would love to join in. thnx for organising.

[grumpyhack]

We definitely ought to bimble over to the Spirit of 71 Stage at some time, if only to check it out, as it seems to embody what we're about. I love the idea of badges (still got my Monorail one from a couple of years ago). I think we should all make a contribution to the cost as it may be hard for Dave to get by on a pension.

[DaveMac]

50 'Old Gits and Hags Meet' badges ordered !

One less thing to sort out hopefully

If people give me a small donation towards the cost I will give any surplus to the Glasto Wateraid Charity

Only flea in my hair about that is that there may be nothing going on on that stage Thursday night. It's not got a mention that day so far on Clashfinder.

You old Haggits have heard of Clashfinder, right?

Spot on.

That leaves two other meets to aim for IMO:

9pm somewhere in the Stone Circle.

11pm at The Snake Pit? (Shangri-La).

Does that work?

[Spacey]

I'm a 50-something female so I will come along to make up the numbers!

It's our 1st time in cv so don't have a clue where anything is lol! happy to meet on top of hill of death (not sure I like the sound of that) maybe 5.30 would be good? Give us enough time to stagger over to cider bus

[timespeedsup]

How about 8:30 Stone Circle, ready for 9pm's shenanigans? Then 10pm for a round at that Avalon bar (not the cafe but very close). Not then far to treck for the 11pm Snake Pit.

Main concern with that is a lot of movements.

What say, Dave Mac?

True - An already wet Glasto would suggest a more direct route from Cider Bus to Snake Pit.
