Hello Charlotte

I am just awaiting confirmation on the days but hoping i am down for saturday and sunday . I live in surrey so was planning to travel down each day. I will be on my own as my other half in in work that weekend but really looking forward to helping out and meeting some great people.

just dropped teh Foundation an e-mail saying i'd be interested in doing Sat & Sun but would ideally need to sort out accomodation, they replied back saying there is a camp site available to volunteers : )

Sound perfect to me, meet some fellow PHers, party till early hours - JOB DONE!

Have you got any more info on the campsite for volunteers? i am tempted to buy a cheap tent and stay over rather than travel back to surrey

Burns - Living in Manc, what are you planning to do i.e. drive down every day or are you staying somewhere close to the curcuit, I am in two minds about what to do

I'm prob just going to try and find a B&B down there, or within about an hour's drive. I don't have a tent or anything so can't do the camping thing. Will see what days they want me there and then find accommodation. Am def looking forward to it though!

[condor]

burns - I think you'll find that finding B & B accomadation wont be as easy as you think it will be - usually all the B & Bs have been booked up months before.
A few years ago I stayed at Chichester college in one of their halls of residence ( 280 odd Single rooms)managed to get accomadation for Thurs/Friday night but was unable to get anywhere Saturday night so had to sleep in the car. I'd booked at least 6 weeks in advance and thought I'd just leave it to the Tourist office to find me a bed for Saturday night.....no chance!!

I camp in a pub's garden/car park , simple calor gas stove for cup of tea/coffee in the morning, 2-3 man tent only costs about £30, don't forget the mallet to knock the tent pegs in Evening meals from the pub ( not neccessarily in the restaurant, they get very busy) but still needs to have been booked with the owners in advance.

Hope that helps

my wristband broke in the post

[condor]

How can your wristband break in the post? Having worn similar ones in the past...I thought they were nearly indestructible.
You'll just have to take it to registraion and get them to swop it for a new one.

[Pradley]

edited to add - think my one is broken too, its got a yellow bit and a blue bit just fell out the envelope

You'll have to take yours to registration too - or else staple it together

[burns76]

Will now begin the hunt for accommodation!

[pumpkin182]

I will also be on my own. Meeting up first would be good to put some names to faces and to share the experience of the festival as it will be my first time at the FOS

What about meeting up on Saturday? morning 10-11am?

[condor]

Also on my own - Think it could be a good idea to meet up at the registration desk between 10-11am
Nearer 11am as the traffic jams getting in are quite bad - so a bit of leeway helps
