ibilly99 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 No login email yet I assume it will be this link https://www.recyclingcrew.co.uk/account/login.aspx but when I put in my username followed by the password (which is my usual one I use for just about everything) it says invalid username/or passowrd and when I try to reset my password - the syetm falls over with an error code. Maybe I just have to wait to get the official email before I can login in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantkatestacks Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi all, we got places late as people dropped out and have been told it was on condition of us doing mornings fri-Mon. i havent litter picked since the early 90s and am slightly scared how my back will hold up.<old gimmer emoticon> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've never done the after festival working and I think I'd be eligible for before festival work this year but I cant afford all the time off work. Also if I had all of the festival free from work I'd end up spending too much cash. As for the back ache. It's not too bad. I'm in my 40's and suffer with my back and find it ok. Just make sure I take some ibuprofen with me. I did think about volunteering for areas that didn't involve so much bending (recycling centre etc) but thst involves PM shifts and means missing too much music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eodsi Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 All done and dusted, gone for thursday morning crew and deposit is on its way It's all finally starting to come together nicely. see you all in june round the fire for a cider or seven!

giantkatestacks Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Can I just ask as I wasnt there in 2011. What is the space like now in Toms Field now it is just litterpickers? Are there enough people doing it now that the field is full even without the Oxfam lot? We wouldnt be getting down there before Thursday and so was worried about getting the tent up. It used to be rammed full by then when we've been there before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Space in Toms field wasn't too bad in 2011. It was quite busy but most people seem to find a gap somewhere. The space was mostly affected by the rain and mud which made some spots not suitable for pitching a tent in. Outside my tent did become a bit of a thoroughfare so was tad muddy too.

giantkatestacks Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks for the info. Do they still keep the 'road' down the middle between what used to be litterpicking amd Oxfam? I wish we could get there on the weds but it just isnt possible with work and babysitters. Will have to buy a tiny tent as well. Don't think we will get our normal festie tent up which is a 4 man.

dondo Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I can't seem to remember the road down the middle. Likewise I can't get down on the Wednesday but fingers crossed can find a gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliandsas Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 We are litterpicking for the first time this year. Just wondering if any of you have stayed in the CV fields rather than camping in the crew area? Is it going to make it much harder work with the extra walking if we take our van instead? What's the atmosphere like in the crew area? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartyC Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 First time on the crew for me too... Really looking forward to it! Hopefully will get to know some of you on here in the mean time! The camp fire and cider sound exactly what I need in my life! Smarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Re the CV fields. There's nothing stopping you camping anywhere on site. People I've worked with in the past have camped with mates. They came to Tom's field to meet before their 1st shift but then just met us the rest of the weekend at where we were working to save a walk up to Tom's field. So check with your team leader whether that's feasible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil C Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Should I be worried I haven't had the email asking me to put in my username and password, haven't worked before so I assume the people who have worked there before get 1st choice on shifts? May email Fiona to ask her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eodsi Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Don't forget, there are around 1200 or so emails to go out. I bet you get it tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
