Are we having the TAW meet/photo this year? Not seen anything about it.
Not sure there has been a TAW meet/photo for a few years, has there? Apart from the Toast, that is? |

Mid 20s today at midday with a light breeze.
More metal roads going in, water points being set up and porta cabins being delivered and put into place by crane.
Still lots of work going on in hot conditions.
Fair play to those workers setting it all up

Tickets are not needed for Cream of the Crop . There is a maned gate between the bar, kitchen ,stage and other facilities and the campsite which you do need to have had a booking for.
The music is free and the bar was the cheapest in the village last year.

21 degrees , overcast with sunny spells and a nice breeze.
Things seemed to have ramped up a bit on site with more workers around.
Lots of toilets delivered , metal trackway down in field and portakabin outside tennis courts.
The main development is that the stage has arrived and is in the early stages of construction.

23 degrees and sunny this afternoon….
The crew are now marking the fields adjacent to the main field where the stage continues to be erected.
Thirsty work just watching so I may nip for a drink.
The brase is selling the Timothy Taylor range.
The red is currently selling butcombe original and otter amber and there is also the butty bar (floating canal boat bar) moored just by the mill bridge selling hooky best and old hooky also homemade cropredy horseradish vodka !!

Overcast this morning about 18 degrees but due to be sunny and 22 like yesterday (perfect conditions imo)
Standing by Jonah’s oak memorial which has been creosoted since yesterday (looking very smart)
The church bells are ringing across the fields as the stage continues to take shape which is the focus of the work today along with the fields being marked out by Ron’s crew.
I imagine a lot more of the required equipment will arrive and be put in place tomorrow.
All seems to be going well.
Not long now…

Hi all,
We're going to be in Cropredy for the fringe, looks very good this year, and wondered whether anyone has spare ticket(s) for the main event? I've PM'd Steve so we might need just one.
Let me know please.
TIA

Stage still being worked on but now up to full height and sound tower up.
Tents being put in place backstage.
Regards ticket
My friend still has covid (the joys of never being vaccinated , each to their own)and is unwell but will be waiting until weds to see if he’s negative to give it every chance
Not promising at the minute

Even if your friend is negative, they won't be in any way recovered.
I'm still recovering, having been afflicted for the 4th time at the beginning of June.
