NFR NFC >>>>>>2015

[A Guy Called Matt]

Bright and cheery here today - the weather that is. Actually I also feel that way, even though I've got some hard work ahead of me. My folks are moving house and as I'm a 'man with a van' I have to help move loads of stuff today. The major downside of this is that I have a bad back, and that my dad is a pain in the arse when moving stuff. There is no doubt in my mind that expletives will shoot out of his mouth like tracer bullets. Ho hum.

Bend zee knees

Hope it all goes well and that not too many expletives are uttered.

Thanks matt. I've already had one hiccup. The campervan on the drive wouldn't start which meant I couldn't get my other van on the drive to clear all my stuff already in there out so that I had an empty van for the job in hand. Have just managed to sort out starting the campervan out. Now about to clear the van out and get over to my folks. I will bend zee knees as suggested.

Morning folks.

Nice and sunny here but blooming cold.

Why are people so rude? Manners and mutual respect seems to be a thing of the past, looks like I need to get to Glastonbury to get my faith in human kind back.

Yog hope the move is not to much of a pain.

[A Guy Called Matt]

................... for the job in hand.

Are you sure this is the right place and time for such activities?

[thurlow84]

When the daylight hit its turned out to be a bright clear day, bit nippy outside but I'm.office based so.that's not bothering me today

[lucyginger]

Yog I thought the shut curtains may have been due to all nighters, but I wanted to check! Glad you're ok

Good luck with the moving, and hope everyone else has a good day, whatever you're up to.

May I suggest we have a meet up somewhere relatively quiet? Would be nice to actually communicate

[thurlow84]

What day does the meet usually happen?

Seconded! My vote is for by the sound desk in the Park.

Meet was Thursday last year, as some folk don't arrive til then.

Thanks. I need to plan when I'm getting there etc still, I have stumbled across some people I know who are going but they think it.could be late Thursday when they'll get down. As a newbie I'm.currently trying to decide if I should head.down with them.and then.theres.someone familiar back at camp or if I'm.brave enough to go it alone and do my own thing Edited January 22, 2015 by thurlow84

Going by what was discussed and semi agreed a while back the Park was one of two that were thought the best option, the other was the place the main efests meet took place on Weds last year but I forget where that was.

As for time I would say Thursday is best and the time would depend on what is happening lineup wise later in the evening.

I think last year it was Avalon as it was actually an official efests meet for latecomers that ended up being mostly NFR NFC folks................... I think

As long as you are OK arriving alone I would say go earlier that late Thursday. The place is MASSIVE and it will take you at least half a day to get your bearings and even then it all looks and feels different come Friday when the masses have all turned up.

Just realised I posted this like an old hand................. I have only been the once yet it feels like I have been forever!

One option you might want to consider, depending on how many are going, how you're getting there, and how handy you are at putting tents up!

You could go Wednesday, taking everyone's tents, and just the basics you need until the rest arrive. Find a camping area big enough for all the tents, put them all up, and your friends can bring the rest of your gear with them on Thursday, have their tents set up, and buy you several beers as a thank you!

Well, that didn't last long. I did one van load and a trip to the tip and then my dad asked if we could leave it at that for the day and do a whole day tomorrow instead. Thanks for the best wishes with the move lucy and slodge - I'll use those best wishes tomorrow instead.

I see what you mean. Not only would it have been depraved, but it would have prolonged the job. So to speak.

Thanks lucy We've got a night entertaining on Saturday then me and my wife want to get back into a 'normal' routine starting on Monday morning. I think it's time for us to slow down a little on the partying front.

It wasn't an official meet, it was an unofficial one, so Neil didn't come, but Scottie turned up. I think everyone who was organising it posted on NFR NFC anyway, so it turned out to be 90% sun god worshippers.

Not that it helped, it rained during the meet!

Many apologies, talking about the organisation of the meet took me back to my pre-polytheist days. I was baptised during the meet, with all that bloody rain.

Did it again

You are now in serious trouble young man..... the weather gods will chastise you at some point over the weekend but it may not be when you least expect it!!

Damn scientists

Depending on the size of the other tent's I'd be up for this approach. I'd be travelling by coach I reckon so space may be an issue but it's certainly something to consider

I've done smaller loval festivals on my own before but a there small so bearings are easy to find and there local so you quickly bump into.familiar faces

It's the massiveness of Glastonbury that a puts me off venturing alone, but at the same time excites me

[Mr Splodge]

The other place was the bar near west holts (Dee know the one I mean). Loads of space quite central and food and toilets near.

Park I thought was decided too far out for some (I must admit nearly kills me the walk to it from spring ground ( but I have walking issues tho))

I would try to get there as early as possible in my opinion Glastonbury is 3 different festivals first is Wednesday and Thursday then Friday and Saturday and finally Sunday.
