Do you know what area you will be working on before you attend the festival? ie manning the entrance or exit barriers?

I've worked for Oxfam.

You find out when you arrive with them, you get given a nice welcome pack with all your stuff and this states your shifs and locations. If you want a swap they have a big whiteboard in the main tent where you stick your name, shift and mobile number up so someone who wants to swap a shift can phone you to arrange.

Oxfam sound like a great organisation to work for at Glasto. I've worked Glasto 4 times for another company and its been nowhere near that organised, they could take a few tips from Oxfam.

Yeh they really were great to work for and I would reccomend it to anyone (at Glasto or anywhere else), met loads of brilliant people, got to see parts of the site I wouldn't have otherwise and they even give you a wee batch of food vouchers, you get something like 4 free meals in their campsite.

No, 4 per day would be pretty sweet though!

I can't remember the exact amount but you get several of them, maybe 4 or 5 to do you the week (or to cover your shift days) then you pay for the rest of your stuff as you go.

The only thing I ever spend money on is the Programme.

People discard them in mint condition all over the main drags by Thursday morning or so (though that might not be your style!).

[DeadAmos]

The section on that board for the Saturday evening shifts is going to be pretty full
