Note there are no carparking or campervan places left for any Oxfam places.

Noticed no car park spaces with Oxfam if you get a space tomorrow and no Monday coach spaces so miss a day. Do they allow getting dropped off on the Monday?

I can't take the car anyway so suits me fine.

I'm sure you could get dropped off on Monday but where is another question.

 Yep one final roll of the dice 🤞

Just as a heads up for those trying tomorrow - multiple logins *may* not be beneficial - I get kicked from my "tracking session" when I login on another device to check.

Someone more technically savvy may know for sure.

Would be good to get some further insight into this if anyone knows🤔

The only thing that upsets the Oxfam system is the bloody Captcha at logon, so get into your account and get past this before the resale else expect a crippling delay.

How can people help with the Oxfam places? Will the site allow multiple logins from the same account? Or are people offering of the help of the person wanting the place can't log in at that time?

More than 1 person can log into your account, or at least they have been able to in the past.

Last year we got dropped off on site, but that doesn't seem to be an option there...that's our plan this year, the guest house is booked and everything. Has anyone seen anything about this?

There had been a couple of announced Oxfam releases plus the odd place come up before this point last year. So hopefully there should be a decent amount up for grabs tomorrow. 

 

Good luck to those trying!

Maybe @stuie can advise on this, I have never stayed in Oxfield. 😊

I’ve never used drop off but you might be able to get close to Oxfam camp if you were heading to windinglake or love fields 😉
 

might be worth an email to the office or asking on the fb group.

There is a road the passes between East CV General and Quiet that continues to pass right next to the Oxfam field but access to it depends when it's closed to general traffic I guess.

Yes that’s the one. Pylle Road. Pretty sure it’s traffic controlled when we get there Monday.

 

There’s always Marshall’s or stewards there but I’ve not paid much attention as I’ve had a vehicle/van pass on display.

If I get a spot tomorrow I have friends driving up on the Tuesday in 3 CVs so hopefully I can get a lift with one of them and i'll walk up that road to the Oxfield. If not i'll have to work out other options, maybe a taxi from CC to the Oxfield or staff bus to the bus station then a walk round the festival. I'm sure i'll work something out.

Going with the CV will get you nearly there. I’m not sure the position with taxis. Some taxi firms will have vehicle passes… could try call a couple?

I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow, might be getting a bit ahead of myself. That's a good idea though.

So how long do we think oxfam places will be available for tomorrow?
