Do you know if you can buy them at the festival for the shuttle busses going to operesa del mar?

I'm not certain you can, as the Oropesa buses aren't 'official' shuttle services run on behalf of the festival (like a Castellon shuttles and routes in and around Benicassim are), but by a separate local organisation - Danes.

Some stupid fucking clashes. Why put 3 bands on at exactly the same time, only for 15 mins of nothing following? Happens so often. 

Good time to get a beer and a kebab, in that 15 mins Gregory, especially if you're in the festival for 10+ hours each night.

Saw Blossoms supporting stone Roses couple of weeks back and thought they were alright.

Imo Deadmaus only done a couple of good tracks but maybe with his helmet and light show I might be proven wrong!

Will check out Sherlocks but assuming they sound similar to Blossoms etc..... Cheers for recommendations though!

Heu, does anyone know any alternative to the shuttle bus to get BACK to operesa del mar from the festival early hours in the morning? Will public transport be running? How much will a taxi be? I don't fancy spending €60 on a shuttle bus service that has crap reviews! Thanks everyone

Yeah, I'm the same with deadmau5 to be honest. Going more the show than the songs. Sherlock's are similar to he Courteeners if you like then

Guys I know that people have asked a few times about costs. And I have been looking through but Im still not sure. Myself and my girlfriend are going and we have about €1300/€1400 between us for the full 8 days. Should that be enough for food and drink? We have transport and all that kind of stuff already paid for so it is literally just for food, drink, waterpark etc. and even at that we will prob only drink on the nights of the festival.

Temples and Blossoms are my two favourite new guitar bands from this decade, so Friday looking great for me, other than there's a slight clash between them.

Taxi shouldn't really be much more than about €12-€15, but you could have a 90 minute plus wait for one, between 2am-5am, based on recent years. There's a massive taxi queue, and you just wait your turn for them to come along. First public bus from Beni town to Oropesa is about 7.30am, so not ideal.  I'd still say shuttle bus could be your best option, but haven't seen any bad reports.

A long shot, but we're flying into Barcelona and getting the train from Sants to Beni. We've a few hours to between our flight landing and our train to Beni. 

Has anyone ever bought tents in Barcelona and brought them down to Beni? I've googled it and there are some camping shops near Sants but your paying €60 for the cheapest one and you don't need a waterproof/bear proof tent for a festival. 

A more general question, would they sell tents in Barcelona supermarkets?

Not a great deal of use but I met a friend who had spent a week in Barca at Benicassim in 2015. We had bought us both a pop up tent for about 40 euros each in Barcelona. Not sure where but they are available.

    • These challenges, ranging from internal conflicts to external pressures, require adept handling and strategic resolution. Organizational issues training equips employees and leaders with the skills and knowledge to identify, address, and mitigate these challenges effectively. This blog explores the significance of organizational issues training and how it can fortify an organization against various hurdles. Understanding Organizational Issues Organizational issues encompass a wide range of problems that can affect the efficiency, culture, and performance of a company. Common issues include: Communication Breakdowns: Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and decreased morale. Conflict Management: Interpersonal conflicts or departmental disputes can disrupt workflows and create a toxic work environment. Change Resistance: Employees may resist changes due to fear of the unknown, lack of trust, or inadequate communication. Employee Engagement: Low levels of engagement and motivation can lead to decreased productivity and higher turnover rates. Operational Inefficiencies: Inefficient processes and systems can waste resources and reduce profitability. Cultural Misalignment: Misalignment between organizational culture and business objectives can impede strategic initiatives. The Role of Organizational Issues Training Organizational issues training focuses on equipping employees with the tools and techniques needed to navigate and resolve these challenges. Here’s why it is crucial: 1. Enhancing Communication Skills Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy organization. Training programs can help employees develop active listening skills, clear articulation, and the ability to provide and receive constructive feedback. Improved communication reduces misunderstandings and fosters a collaborative environment. 2. Developing Conflict Resolution Abilities Conflict is inevitable in any organization, but it doesn’t have to be detrimental. Training equips employees with conflict resolution skills, such as negotiation, mediation, and problem-solving techniques. This helps in transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth and innovation. 3. Facilitating Change Management Change is a constant in today’s business world. Training programs on change management help employees understand the dynamics of change, develop adaptability, and learn strategies to cope with and support organizational changes. This reduces resistance and enhances the successful implementation of new initiatives. 4. Boosting Employee Engagement Engaged employees are more productive, committed, and likely to stay with the company. Training on employee engagement strategies can help managers and leaders create a motivating work environment, recognize and reward contributions, and build strong, supportive teams. 5. Improving Operational Efficiency Training in lean management, process improvement, and project management can help employees identify inefficiencies and develop solutions to streamline operations. This leads to better resource utilization, reduced costs, and improved overall performance. 6. Aligning Organizational Culture Training programs can reinforce the organization’s values, mission, and vision, ensuring that all employees are aligned with the cultural and strategic goals of the company. This alignment fosters a cohesive work environment where everyone works towards common objectives. Key Components of Organizational Issues Training 1. Communication Workshops Interactive workshops focusing on verbal and non-verbal communication, active listening, and feedback techniques help employees communicate more effectively and collaboratively. 2. Conflict Management Seminars Seminars that cover conflict resolution styles, negotiation tactics, and mediation processes provide employees with practical tools to handle disputes constructively. 3. Change Management Courses Courses that address the psychology of change, strategies for managing resistance, and frameworks for leading change initiatives help employees navigate transitions smoothly. 4. Engagement and Motivation Training Training programs that focus on motivational theories, employee recognition strategies, and team-building activities boost morale and foster a positive work environment. 5. Process Improvement Training Training in methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma, Agile, and Total Quality Management (TQM) empowers employees to enhance operational efficiency and drive continuous improvement. 6. Cultural Alignment Programs Programs that emphasize organizational values, ethical standards, and cultural integration help employees align their behavior with the company’s strategic goals. Implementing Effective Organizational Issues Training 1. Needs Assessment Conducting a thorough needs assessment helps identify the specific organizational issues that need to be addressed. This ensures that training programs are relevant and targeted. 2. Tailored Training Solutions Customized training programs that reflect the unique context and challenges of the organization are more effective than generic ones. Tailored solutions ensure that the training addresses specific needs and objectives. 3. Interactive and Experiential Learning Interactive workshops, role-playing, and real-world simulations enhance engagement and retention. Experiential learning methods provide practical experience in dealing with organizational issues. 4. Continuous Improvement Organizational issues training should be an ongoing effort. Regular refresher courses, advanced training sessions, and continuous learning opportunities help employees stay updated and improve their skills over time. 5. Evaluation and Feedback Assessing the impact of training programs through feedback, surveys, and performance metrics helps in refining and improving the training initiatives. Continuous evaluation ensures that the training remains effective and relevant.   https://www.sprintzeal.com/

    • in his defence apparently he couldnt hear a thing 😅
    • I’m taking my kids for the first time this year. Is it disrespectful to others if you have your kids on your shoulders during gigs?    I assume not seen as some people have adults on shoulders. And flags pretty much block out the view on the main stages anyway. But I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts on this?   is it less acceptable in Woodsies or one of the smaller tents?   I’ve been stood behind Stephen Merchant at a gig before. Couldn’t see a thing.
