Not sure if there’s any members here from the old “official” Glastonbury Festival forums, but if they are they may remember Flash Bristow AKA “Vampthing”. 
Flash was a site moderator and a regular contributor. 
I just heard sad news that she passed away last week, posted on Twitter by her husband:

Oh my goodness. 
i “knew” Vampthing over the years I contributed to ToS forums. 
i too met her at one of the board meets. She loved everything about the festival. 
My sincere condolences to her family and friends. 
 

RIP Flash x

So sad to hear this, I have often posted her wonderful article to people asking about attending Glastonbury as a wheelchair user. RIP Flash 😪

Here is the article although written a few years ago it still contains relevant information. http://www.gorge.org/glastonbury/disabled.shtml

Sad to hear this- I was a massive fan of the old boards and went to the meets. I always wondered whether they got archived?

Think they went for good once virtual festivals finished, BUT there are saved pages on the wayback machine (internet archive), this one has a contribution from vampthing and the link still works! It's of her pics from glasto 2005

Interesting to see some of the old names on the old boards, wonder how many of them are on here under different names? I know some wouldn't come on here because of Neil, he wasn't always the easiest to get on with in the old days!
