Town centre and lions den are relatively close to each other so you’ll definitely make it, takes about 10 maybe 15 mins

We have had no grief with my boy downtown in all the years going. Only noticed last year about the rule, so just told him to keep his head down and stay away from security. 

TBH we mostly spent time uptown but we stayed till the end Sunday in Chinatown without any problems. 

Hes only turned 16 this year. 

Thanks. I'm getting spooked by the stories about how strict security is. Hopefully just on the gates.

Thanks! It's not quite the start to the festival weekend is planned but hopefully it'll be worth it. 

 

I plan on making the meet but also wouldn't mind seeing idles so not sure how long I'll be there. 

Meet is at  7 . Idles at 9. Both doable. Hope to See ya at the bad Apple. I’ll wear an efester black t shirt

I think we met very briefly at the Glastonbury meet last year? 

Either way hopefully see you tomorrow

You too @Mr Splodge.

If it's like it is now, it'll be amazing! I'm only down the road in Southampton and it's sunny but a bit cloudy. NFR NFC!!

I'm pretty sure I'll drop by at some point, vl.

It's likely where I'll meet up with some other Glastonbury friends too. My problem is that I'll be like a toddler on Christmas Day, and at 7pm won't want to stand around chatting...I'll want to be off seeing everything!!

May be a stupid question but when checking the essential guide they linked earlier I saw this:

Acceptable forms of ID include; photographic driving license, proof of age card with PASS hologram or a passport. Photocopies will not be accepted.

I'm from the Netherlands and don't have any of these, just an identity card from my country which doesn't have that hologram. I reckon I'm just pranging cause I'm allergic to dogs but I should be fine right? haha

Does anyone know if we can buy programs on Thursday? I only remember seeing the wheelie bin sellers on Friday last year.

Yes, Thursday, Sas. 

My Friday night is looking quite trancey and my Sunday night is VERY techno! As I’ve said before, always happy to be around as a rave buddy if you’re on your own. 

Shame about Saturday night! That’s looking pretty sweet too! 0200-0400h Simian Mobile Disco DJ set could be phenomenal. One of the two of them played a techno set at Latitude last year and it was STELLAR!

Or do the correct thing and sack off Fred’s crew for Charlotte, Fuzz. 

Obviously.

I think so. I forget what they call them but there are huge desks which sell T Shirts and act as info points. If you're on the hunt I'd start there, I think it's where we got one last year.

[stalemate9]

How much are they?  I plan on getting one.  From the PDF it looks really good.

[frostypaw]

There will be people wandering around with wheelie bins full of them from gates opening, just keep an eye out. They will also sell them from the info points which look like little village sections with a huge boomtown logo on them.

They're normally £10 and yeah I've never felt robbed by them, it's very nicely done and ad free.

[stalemate9]

Fantastic I hope I can get one ASAP, I have printed out the clash finder just in case but isn't as accurate.
