It will of course be the whole weekend.

Following a comprehensive medical, there will an early morning cross-country run on each day to guage general fitness. Obviously, there will be a full and detailed tour of the site so you will be familiar with the festival layout before the start of the festival.

In addition, there will be compulsory courses over the two days covering the following essential topics:

First Aid & Life Saving Techniques

Tent erection & maintenance

Basic language primers in French, German, Spanish, Hebrew and, understandably, Swedish

Map Reading

Car maintenance

Marching

I think you will find it a quite full & rewarding two days. I have assumed you are standard size, and will not require custom-fitting for your blazer.

I applied and was accepted to steward back in February but now I've seen on the website we should have been sent our shifts etc it says: If you wish to be placed on the reserve list, or havent heard about your shifts, please contact our steward manager Sue on info@wickedevents.co.uk

Has anyone else heard about their shifts? Seems a bit early but I am used to Oxfam and being told when you turn up. I've sent an email off to that address too but haven't heard back.

[Super-Girl]

Got a reply, the website is wrong, we'll be told 'a few weeks prior to the festival'.

...agreed, got the same e-mail from Sue, give the gal a break !

ALL steward positions now filled, although 'likely' to be some drop-outs nearer the time.

Punter Tickets ALMOST sold out too.............

Does anyone know what 'main & garden' entails? All the others are a bit descriptive like office, wristband exchange etc. But I'm on main & garden....

No i got that would be WHERE i would be... just wanted to know if anyone knew what I would be doing, like if you got car park, you can generally guess you would helping people to park etc. but this is a bit more vague.

Nothing can be as boring as a night shift checking tickets are glastonbury ON THE SATURDAY!

I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever it is, just wanted to know if someone had done it before. There's not a lot of info about working at end of the road, I've been used to the Oxfam set up which is basically information overload.

[Super-Girl]

Does anyone know a) if stewards park in the same place as customers and do we pay the parking fee too? and

is there a separate steward camping area or do we just camp with everyone else?

[marooned]

I would imagine same place but for FREE, along with your FREE programme.

I'll be there 1ish tomorrow................
