Mine was around 2.50pm just before I went into my 3pm meeting. Equally over the moon and congratulations 🎉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the person he put down as reference might be on holiday until the end of the week and probably isn't the sort of person to check emails while away! If you can use someone else I would. It's literally a link they have to click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Quick question for any Shelter volunteers. Any news on whether the buses are Bristol only again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if anyone else is going from Bristol I'm happy to car share or share a taxi Whenever I’ve flown with a tent it’s counted as hand baggage, but it varies between location and seems to be somewhat discretionary as to whether pegs are ok. So depending on where you’re flying from they could be confiscated. If you have hold luggage too then separate your pegs and send them that way. Otherwise, if you’re hand baggage only, then just be aware that there’s an outside chance you’ll need to source new pegs on arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have messaged oxfam on Twitter and Facebook so will let you know when I hear back Who do Oxfam accept as a referee? Does it have to be a current or previous employer or can it be a professional person who knows you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 14 hours ago, Leyrulion said: I do know of one actively recruiting that I've not put on there because (imo) it's a really terrible volunteering deal. http://www.oasiscarnival.co.uk/glastonbury-festival/ They do roads outside the fence. I've not put them on because A)The campsite is the Shepton Mallet side of Pilton. (An awful trek outside the fest). B) You can't get in until Thursday evening at the earliest "Tickets will be handed out at 4pm on Thursday if you have completed one shift, if you have not completed a shift by that time it will be handed to you at the end of your first shift" This organisation isn't exactly selling itself on that website. It makes it look like they'll be a nightmare to work for. Anyone had any experience with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a different account and it says "Sold Out" then no you cant select it... thats the whole point. You need to wait for it to change to just "Glastonbury" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden egg Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Just saw a spot after 24 hours of solid refreshing and shat myself 😅 Wasn’t quick enough and currently on the proceed page but gonna just keep clicking that as it’s easier than the previous drop down / check boxes etc. I think faymondo got in that way?

golden egg Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Once you’re on the next payment bit is it still fastest fingers or is the spot reserved for a few minutes until you pay or fail to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat on the payment screen for about six minutes yesterday at the big 11am rush while my partner tried to get a spot. Payment went through no bother, so I think it’s reserved once you are there.
