Co-Op

[bennymass]

Hiya

Does anyone know where the on site co-op is likely to be? Can't see it on the map and can only see 'Wholesale Market' which I assume is something else?

What is everyone's thoughts on it being at Glasto? I think it could be pretty useful but depending on where it is

 

[Wherethewildthingsare]

Park home ground I think?

[sedra]

Try looking on the co-op thread?

Where do I get that map! 

[paulo999]

Not sure where that map came from; but it’s wrong.

It’s at the bottom of Arcadia’s field (Park Home Ground), just south of the railway track.

Drove past it yesterday... a very fine looking structure.

There's a crew map floating around: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hisfqao1wnsc4x/A3map-Glasto19.pdf?dl=0

That'll help you more than a black and white map.

Co-op is here:

Good resource to have - makes coach travel more appealing if you can buy more stuff onsite.

Cheers, I have the crew one, great to have it so early but the black and white one looks quite readable, and has preper area names. I like maps

I work on a load of maps as part of my job and I have to say the one that Glasto gives out to the general public is cack.

They're not selling alcohol though if that's what you were thinking

I'd be lost without maps.

Always take spirits which take up no room at all, it's the tonic that's heavy.

What are peoples plans (who are going on the train/coach) about mixer. Got 2 L of spirits but our best plan atm is splitting it into 8 x 1L bottle, so 250ml spirit and 750ml mixer which will be an absolute blag to carry but seems a nightmare to get any mixer in there, unless you go to the coop and buy cans every time.

I don't see the problem here - take a couple of empty bottles, buy mixer from the co-op and fill bottles with spirits and mixer from cans. You might need to take a funnel I suppose. Taking 6kg of mixer on the coach just seems madness to me.

Yeah you're probably right tbh, it's not the weight just the space it would take up. Gonna can it or worst comes to it I'll just drink it straight haha

Pretty much every food outlet/bar/shop/ice cream van sells soft drink so I wouldn’t say it’s a nightmare to get mixer in there. Ok it’s a bit more expensive than bringing it but still much cheaper than buying a drink at a bar!

Yeah it's more just me being lazy and not wanting the hassle of stocking up on cans and decanting it into bottle etc but it's the best alternative tbh.

Yeah fair enough! I gave up bringing mixer when I started getting the bus a few years ago as it’s just extra weight! Previously I would just take out a bottle of spirit in my bag, buy 500mm bottles of coke out and about, drink a bit out the top then decant as I went! Not sure about this year! Maybe some type of metal cup with a lid to make it easier to pour the cans?

The funnels a good idea!

[Vegansausageroll]

Does anybody know what their prices are like for mixers and also how they’re sold guess its not in 2 litre plastic bottles?

maybe somebody who’s  been to one at other festivals?
