Just wondering on numbers

Happy weekend.. 

[Ommadawn]

Been a member here since 2004 (I think) but was lurking well before that.

Never been to a meet so will try to rectify that this year.

[MrZigster]

Not sure of the question or how to vote.

As sig states first attendance was '95. then didn't get back 'till '04 and have been fortunate enough to attend since.

Joined eFests about a week or two before the '09 fest opened in a completely blind/never having lurked/forums were totally new to me, type of way.

Had a pertinent question. at the time. The responses were just totally emotionally overwhelming. Truly felt the love and the spirit of Glastonbury.*

Been addicted since I think.

Think my first eFests meet was '10. Wish I'd known they were a thing in '09.

Hoping I'm not jinxing it by stating this, but I'd really quite like to be jammy enough yet again to attend next years fest, just for the two decade straight run stat. But then, knowing me, I'd then want to go for the twenty festivals total achievement. Which may lead to me wanting to go for a twenty five year run or total.

It's turtles all the way down isn't it.

* Edit: I think I can honestly credit this site with getting me in on six occasions now.

I've just checked my profile. I actually joined in 2008 not 2004. I'd counted the years I was posting on TOS.

Been on here for about 4 and a half years but this year will be my first Glasto despite trying for many years! Hoping to engage in the excitement a bit more this year as I can really get involved  

[Justiceforcedave]

This’ll be year 14! Been going since 2004 and only missed 2008. Watched it on the tele and vowed that I’d never missed it again 😂

[DareToDibble]

This is year 7 for me. My first festival was 14 and I’ve been incredibly lucky to make it every year since. 

I think I joined at the same as my first festival which would put me at 9 years on the forum.

 

EDIT: Just checked and I joined in Jan 2016 so it’s actually 7 festivals and 7 years.

First Glasto was 2014 and been to every one since. Joined here in 2016 after lurking for a bit. Don't post that often but do visit regularly.

[WhatADin]

I've been on here for 10 years, but I've mostly lurked and locked myself out of my other account. 😅

First went to Glastonbury in 2013.... and first time returning. Plenty of festival experiences as you can see. My very first festival was the super waterlogged Glade 2007.

[THEBOILERMAN]

Been doing festivals since 1976 (Reading Jazz Blues and Rock festival) and Glastonbury since 1981. Joined Efest when we had spare seats on a Minibus from Glasgow, (still have some for this year).

[coma girl]

Joined Efests in 2005, first Glasto in 2010.

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Kind of two questions here so I voted in the middle 🤣

First Glasto was 10 years ago. Been an active member on Efests, bugging everyone by going on about spice girls for a year 👍🏼

[Joshuwarr]

Efests since Jan 2005 apparently? First Glastonbury was that year too.

[BambooShanks]

First glastonbury in 2010. Managed to make my way to the fields one way or another every festival since.

According to my profile, I joined here in 2015 but I'm pretty sure I lurked for a few years before the pull of the place got me to register and now it's fully part of the build up for me.

[Jaykc82]

Wasn't entirely sure how to vote, I technically joined Efest in 2018 when we bought tix to Mad Cool for 2019, but didn't post or comment much (that I can recall).

Not european so didn't come on efests again until we got our glasto tix in November, it's our first glasto this year.  (and given the cost of travel to the UK and wanting to do new fests every year, probably our one and only time)

I imagine there'll be something.  A proportion of people will end up gravitating to R&F about the usual time regardless I expect.

i won't as i don't expect to be at the festival (final decision still to be taken).

I really hope you make it Neil, but I can only imagine the problems navigating the crowds in a mobility buggy. There must be times when you feel very vulnerable.

the worst was with the macca crowds climbing all over the scooter, cos walking round it was too much for them.
