Well, I believe @Funkyfairy! will be there - it's a tradition, see! And, obviously, @Brave Sir Robin needs one as a present for all his hard work on the playlist.

Both fully deserving of a flamingo or two!

Cheers! Imagine I'll also be in the vicinity of the HoD around Tues sunset. Will keep an eye out for a pat of flamingos.

Thanks Charm, I will try and make sure you get a flamingo or two, don't worry if you are not in campervan east I will be dropping by the e-fests meet with some and also some other places yet to be determined........

Now the line up times are out can anyone see a good spot to release flamingos into the wild (give them out to the crowd)?

One thing that's occurred to my ever practical husband is whether they will float like balloons. I want to tie one to my caravan. Could you experiment with one @morph100 when they arrive? I can't imagine helium is an option!

I think helium may be out as an option so it could be a case of securely fastening feet to the roof of the caravan being careful not to cut off the blood flow, we don't want to harm any of our pink friends :-)

Love this idea! I took an inflatable dolphin and killer whale a few years ago and from past experience, sadly helium isn't enough to lift things like the flamingos. For their capacity, they're a lot heavier than ordinary balloons. Also, depending how well sealed the seams are may mean helium leaks out quicker than air would.

I'll be there for the first two for sure (Not trying to be greedy and bag two flamingos...). Can't wait for Tuesday Hill of Death

I'm aiming for all four but you know how it goes......if i cant make any but am passing earlier in the day I may drop some off with a responsible adult to distribute :-) 

Have a photo of me to prove my flamingo love and also it highlights how I am not a responsible adult.

Glad to see I am not the only one who needs a pink inflatable bird in their life.

[Funkyfairy!]

I will donate to the flamingo fund later today - hoping to get lucky in being handed a flamingo ! Its the way to go for 2016 :-)

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I just read right through the thread and now flamingo is the funniest word to me.

Flamingo!

[Miesh]

Despite telling myself that I would not do anymore pre Glastonbury spending I have just donated to the fund.  I think it is a great idea and I'll enjoy (hopefully) spotting them around the site and thinking I helped a little bit.

I hope there is somewhere people can post photos of themselves with their flamingos.

Thank you! the Flamingos appreciate it greatly and will smile at you as they see you. I'm hoping that people will post pics on here and social media with the hashtag #glastoflamingo Try to catch me at one of the distribution points to claim a few to spread the cheer!

Will do, thank you. I'm intending to make the Wednesday meet, assuming I don't chicken out.  I've had a kind offer from  @Curlygirl to meet beforehand if needed.
