GTG Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Excellent, all are welcome! Gordie, what's the name of the pub we were in last year? Just so people can research and organise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiototar Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Excellent, all are welcome! Gordie, what's the name of the pub we were in last year? Just so people can research and organise? Regardless, though, it's in the centre of Salisbury, so if you can park anywhere around there you'll be in easy reach of us! And if your friends don't realise the greatness of the pre-fest pub meet they'll only have themselves to blame when they miss out Well we could easily arrange a meet-up in the festival for anyone who isn't camping with us, and you can always come find our camp and hang out there with us, whether you actually sleep there or not! I'll make sure you have my number closer to the time so you can find us at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofelgie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, welcome all! We were camped very near Tangarine Fields last year (and are likely to be again, so easy to meet up with us from there). I'll also pm my mobile number to whoever wants it.........unless things change I'll be first on site - actually I kinda hope things DO change actually cos the one draw back about being on site a day early is I miss the pre-festival meet up !

GTG Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 They have been replaced by ones still no doubt unbecoming for a man of my advanced years but less likely to cause permanent damage to anyone's psychological state.

geofelgie Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's actually worse than that.....someone came up to me at Latitude 2008 and wanted their picture taken with me cos they'd seen me at 2007 and not been brave enough to come up and say hello. Not sure that wasn't as much to do with the spotty shirt tho. Then exactly the same happened EOTR 2008 (I think they said they'd seen me at Latitude too)! Then someone else came up to me at Lat 2009, whilst i wearing a dress saying that they recognised me from wearing the shorts the past two years and had to finally come up and say hello!!!! It's a good job I only pretend to be shy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relhq Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Welcome! And join us! As I've mentioned a couple of times ( ), we'll be having a meet-up at the pub on the Thursday night, then we also have a camp at the festival that you are most welcome to join. Hope to see you there!

zozo1 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Hello I wanted to say that I'm also attending solo and I'd love to come and join you... :angry: I've given up trying to persuade my friends re how awesome the music line-up is... I was intent on going solo... but how much nicer it will be with a group of solo festival-goers. Great to hear re the e-camp... I'm getting very excited, and look forward to meeting you... zozo1 Edited August 4, 2009 by zozo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

man_d Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is going to be great, can't believe I was worried about going on my own! Now the only thing to worry about is how to get all my crap from the car park to the campsite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiototar Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! I'm counting the days desperately... Very excited about the experience! PS: I booked a Tangerine... Carrying a tent from Spain is unconfortable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontmason Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm a newbie here and will be going to the festival on my own (couldn't persuade anyone else here in Edinburgh to go!). Would like to meet up with other solo festie goers on Thurs evening - just say where/when. I'll be travelling down that day. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Hiya...I cant believe that I have only just found this forum/thread....it would have saved me a lot of tears!! I AM NOT ALONE.... I went last year and bribed a friend who had a tent to come with me...she liked to stand at the back or sleep in the tent whilst the bands were playing (rolls eyes in horror)...I didnt. This year I bought two tickets and like others tried to persuade my friends...It seems to be harder when you are over a certain age lol... Now my lovely 21 yr old daughter who has inherited my taste in music had agreed to come so not strictly alone...but I fear that when she sees my orange leggings she may disown me. Last year people were so friendly but I did look on with envy at the people who seemed to be in groups. Please please can I join you??? And to the person from Spain who was going to hire a tent...I have a spare 2 person tent which i may be able to fit in my car if you want to borrow it??? Please excuse me I just got soooooo excited.
