"Lost dog" then something I can't make out then "FMS have dog"

This was on the Thursday ... How many dogs are there on site? Can't see how you could smuggle a dog in

[MrZigster]

Surely that's Dolly the dog?

Edit: I mean bitch.

There's always a few dogs on site, but they tend to be in the out of the way, far end of crew camping areas. Cats are more common though as they are less noisy and noticeable.

Animals were banned from '92 onwards but our spaniel came with us up until '95. He used to love it.

Would love to be able to take Brillo to Glastonbury, but having a couple of thousand dogs running around wouldn't exactly enhance the place. Before the dog ban there were huge packs of mutts running around enjoying canine anarchy.....not ideal.

Interesting to see the 'Future' document talks about the licence being for the festival to be held in 'June, July or August'... Do you think this is so they could re-arrange it for later in the year if it was ever rained off?

[davefrompompey]

Also... Whoever is writing these event notes needs to sort his/her handwriting out. It's fucking shambolic.

[davefrompompey]

Oh actually I just got to Wednesday and that person has lovely handwriting.

Very much doubt it. I know quite a few people who do various different things at the festival who are booked up all summer and wouldn't be able to be flexible. Then there are the bands, traders and infrastructure who are also busy throughout the season.

[davefrompompey]

Yeah I guess that makes sense. So why have a license covering three months when the date is fairly well set?

That'll be the Brucie Bonus swinging in to action.

I think somewhere it gave the example of the foot and mouth closures as an example of when they might want to rearrange the date

[UEF]

Also they have a private locals party don't they at some point... maybe that's in July/August?

Never hurts to be flexible, I'd welcome an August Glastonbury. (Yes I know, the summer solstice and the laylines and the veggieburgers and all that shit...)

86 tent thefts, 25 thefts from a person, 2 sexual offences.

Fucks sake.

Compared to an average couple of weekends in any city in the UK, it is astonishingly low I'd say. Still, it is disappointing that it happens at all especially the sexual offences but when you get in the region of 200k people together there about to be a couple of scum that sneak in.

[Amii]

Very interesting reading.

Really saddened about the report of a rape. Hard to believe things like that exist in such a happy place for so many.

Nah, would be even more of a family holiday event. We would have loads more children roaming around!

[Staff_Sav]

Looking forward to having a read of this again after the festival. Keeps Glastonbury going that bit longer

[fur_q]

This thread title wins the bumsex euphemism contest every time.

[giantkatestacks]

Does it have to be a local that puts the application in?

[Bubblecup]

I think anyone can put in a freedom of information request

Someone needs to do it!

[fur_q]

Any mamber of the public can put in an FOI request, you don't have to be resident in local authority you're requesting from. You can do it via WhatDoTheyKnow which makes it a bit easier.

I assumed Staff_sav has done it as they did it last year?!

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Anybody managed to get hold of this year's one yet?

[Staff_Sav]

I meant to do it, but during a house move, I accidentally moved time period back to the 1930's, and have no Internet (except on my phone), and I don't work at a computer. I'll see about venturing out with the laptop to find some WiFi somewhere and ping them an email

[Staff_Sav]

Besides, it gives them more time to actually file their police reports etc. Think the council are busy enough soon after Glastonbury
