Did you get one before they sold out? What did you think of it?

I thought there was a lot more “filler” than usual, but I enjoyed the band’s musings.

Also, there were a few errors with the crossword - no proof reading maybe?

Maart’s bit brought a tear  :'( he really is very brave. An inspiration to anyone battling with their health.

Mine became a victim of the wet weather even though the bag it was in was meant to be waterproof.
Hopefully it will still be readable once it dries out.

Always a good and informative read. Look forward to them

Almost finished the crossword. Fiendish :o

Not really needed for a one-stage event, so saved myself a fiver.

The ticket exchange had sold out of programmes by the time I arrived Saturday midday...I'm guessing up front costs were kept down by printing less copies ?...Normally I would have been disappointed but was actually happy having saved five quid !... ;)

I got one, I use them to help me keep track of when I've been and also how the weather was for example my 2010 one is a blob of paper mache some of the others reek of sun cream  :)

We had 3 but only came home with one ;-), no idea where the others went :-)

I have to say we find them really useful for the background on the artists and also checking on performance and signing times when we aren't in the Arena. I also got mine signed by Fairport this year, and it just about survived the weather, so is a nice souvenir!

We bought two. One was safely tucked away, the other was virtually destroyed by the weather.

Another one to add to the collection - I'm only missing the 2004 one from the festivals this decade...

You want to speak to my wife about that. She spent the whole of our boat trip carefully interleaving it with tissue paper, warming it up, and turning the pages. It worked a treat, and is almost as good as new.
