The groups that run the lockups are listed here http://www.festivallockups.org.uk/ Might be worth asking Crazyfool how he got on a shortlist? I was tagged in a post on fb at the lockups by @Funkyfairy! With my hat on 🙂 the lockup organiser said we were nice customers and it went from there … so maybe that might be my destiny 🙂 thanks very much for the info … I kind of just assumed the workers camped around the individual lockups and wasn’t aware they were in dairy . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right! Something I didn't mention, is that each peace group normally looks after the same set of lockups each festival. So if your group happens to be the ones assigned to the lockups over by Theatre & Circus, that's a bit of a hike if you're going from the campsite!

I was lucky in 2016 as I had a pass for that bar and as it was a muddy year was a nice place to get a sit down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carrying, the pitching, the sorting out of everything, and then finally sitting as the king/queen of your patch and cracking one open to enjoy and watch everyone else swearing at their tent poles and blowing up their mattresses 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relevance is that is where our secure camping area is, in the same area as CTM. Always a bit of a trek back at the end of the night......

They sent the email out confirming if you had priority status late last year. Some of the chat I've seen suggests applications might be later than it would be in a normal year but earlier than last year (which was April). They've just said "early 2022" which could be anywhere between now and March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember where I saw this, but I'm sure I've seen it suggested that the (very provisional) target is/was Priority in the last week of Feb, and General in the first week of March.

missnutmeg Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Am I right in thinking Oxfam volunteering applications usually go live at end Jan/beginning Feb in a ‘normal’ year? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Pee Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Not had anything from WaterAid yet and hope to go back as a repeat offender. Must be due to open applications soon.. The weird thing about going to Worthy Pastures with them was being able to walk up the side of the skate park to the pub in Pilton for a few pints. Takes no time at all when there ain't a massive fence in your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
