Sorry to hear about your experience but I’m not sure what the rants here are solving - it would be much more effective through the official channels. Aside from that, this thread and the ones from previous years have always been positive, polite and helpful so please let’s not let it decend into bickering. Thank you. Where did it all go Wrong then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is for sharing of opportunities for volunteering or highlighting work opportunities at this year's Glastonbury. The last few pages have derailed the whole flow of this topic. People with disabilities are Beautiful people, no matter your flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit tiresome mate. The weird ranting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDrops Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Hey, does anyone know if there will be an official resale of Oxfam Glastonbury steward places? I know Oxfam generally put places back onto the website sporadically but it feels like they're holding them back currently? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes plan is to have a Monday night Tow and Hitch meet again for whoever from efests is on site on the Monday. I'll post more details closer to the festival and have also set up a WhatsApp group in the past. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still do an 8 hour manic bar shift at our local Blackberry Fair for charity. I would not even consider doing clear up crew as I’d imagine that’s a totally different ball game, even without seeing the job description Im sure that LightChance will be fine with the shifts if she does a bit of prep work and doesn’t stay in The Temple until 6am you wouldn't, well perhaps you would believe some of the stuff people just leave for you to pick up. From used sanitary products, used condoms, needles, bottles and things full of piss and sh*t. I enjoyed after shifts but wont go for them as standard. For some reason they are also 5 days this years instead of 4 on recycling crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
