Thanks for the offer of space reservation, Sandra. I had a think about it - and realised that the idea of queuing for the shower (or jumping in the Isis) doesn't really turn me on... I think I'll go posh  and B&B it for a change. Never done this for a festival - I'm decidedly going middle-aged...  Another question: what time of the day does the festival kick off? Should I make my way up on Thursday night, or is Friday morning early enough? |

It starts on Friday evening, so no need for an early start.
We are working on accommodation/season packages which I hope to have news on soon.
If anyone is interested we will be advertising for stewards soon. Our very own Nuthouse is to be Chief Steward, so at least the boss is nice. The terms are an access pass to the festival for the full day for any day that a steward works for 4 hours (sorry about circular way of putting it - its all to do with payment in kind and tax implications), plus accommodation in indoor camping if required (subject to availability).

Hmm, what if one has just posted you a cheque and then decides to steward a bit? Is payment in beer an option?

Hmm, I'm now intrigued what kind of stewarding can't be talked about on the open board, so it needs IMing...  |

Discussions about individuals helping with stewarding would be personal correspondence and not related to the thread which should be about the festival itself. Cheers Nick |

Fair enough. I would have classed it as general information about the festival, but hey.
In this case, I'd like to ask for an IM with more info on Stewarding, please, if any of the organisers would be so kind. Thanks.

Stewards duties include things like manning the boxoffices/reception desk, checking tickets/wristbands, manning the indoor camping, meeting and greeting, being a 'runner' between venues, dealing with enquiries and helping in the event of an emergency (fire evacuation etc). This is not an exhaustive list of jobs but gives you some idea. Helpers are also needed on the catering side to serve food and on the bar (though the bar is almost fully manned now). We ask for experience/preferences on the application form and will try to fit round pegs in round holes, but this is not always possible.
If you are thinking of volunteering be aware you will have to wear a flouro jacket for identification purposes.
