Havors Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I hope they are going to make the Oxfield bigger haha all things point to there being a good amount more stewards at the festival this year.... and the campsite was rammed to capacity last time... and more toilets/showers etc etc... Hope its been thought through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leath02 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Great news for the extra volunteer slots, good luck everyone! I've currently got a pal who's in the process of applying for the Campaign slot - do we think these new steward places will be unnavaiable to those already in the midst of applying for the Campaign ones? Have seen people mention that when you have a place / have selected a festival, it then becomes greyed out / removed from the list Thanks!

You can only apply for one role at a time which is why the festival has disappeared from your list when you log on If you change your mind then you have to withdraw that application before applying for the new role. It might take a day or two for the cancellation to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will pass on to my mate Feel like they should stick at the campaign route tbh, rather than risk the bunfight of another 1minute sell out like last time on the steward places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be other stewarding chances available right up to the last week if their Campaign application is unsuccessful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - persistence especially in the month or so leading up to the festival will give much better odds than the scramble next week, which a lot of people will see as possibly their very last chance and if they're unsuccessful pretty much give up hope.

Havors Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 By the way, does anyone recall if there was an actual coop on site in 2019? Just planning my ice strategy for 7 days there 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope its been thought through. I know there are extra places overall this year but I think these are all from people who got tickets in the resale. But yes, I think we'll need more space then previous years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - has worked that way for me in the past. This year for me is Oxfam at Bearded and the new Boomtown compact layout, the latter so I can lose my rag at the Polish takedown crew again and this time avoid being run over by their van in protest...

I have Distill atm and it checks it every 5 seconds, which means it opens a tab every 5 seconds, it's quite annoying, did yours differ in any way?

Gxxx Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hello! My friend and I are volunteering this year and i was just wondering if you get any extra facilities what with being in the volunteering campsite. For example - i have a much comfier airbed that required a 3 pin plug connection to go up. Would I be able to get access to an AC outlet to blow it up? Thanks!

G are you working for oxfam, or someone else? In the oxfield there's plug points so you'd definitely be able to blow it up 👍 Edited April 14, 2022 by balti-pie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the oxfield there's plug points so you'd definitely be able to blow it up 👍 That may not be correct. Without going into a rant about this (and I really could) - someone can make themselves extremely unpopular very quickly if they plug a high draw device into communal power sockets and blow the circuit. Most crews including Oxfam say outright that the plugs are intended only for charging Phones and Power Banks, and they're not to be used for any other devices. I've seen shouting matches resulting from some fool ignoring that and plugging a hairdryer or straighteners in, taking the entire circuit down. I don't know what the power draw for this airbed would be, but I would strongly suggest getting confirmation from the specific crew that a. sockets will be provided, and b. they can support the power draw required. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gxxx Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Thanks for all the replies ☺️ Im volunteering for Shelter! I unfortunately have absolutely no idea what the power draw of the airbed is, it takes about 2 mins to inflate if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look at those to be honest! No one wants to blow the power and be unpopular haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
