Does anyone know where the WBC volunteers camp and/or what the facilities are like?

 

Also if anyone knows the opening hours of the Mandela bar that would be nice. 

From the map I've seen, it looks like some WBC staff might be in Pylon this year? (I don't work for that crew though, so please don't take it as gospel!)

they moved last year ' except the new area this year the area has more crew camping { far more than the WBC need } so its not clear if it will be in the exact same spot + crew entry gates may change this year - You should find out when you come off the coach ' to pick your ticket up ' - Big note last year they were doing it by Coach order so if your Team arrives by later coach they may have to wait longer. Last year they did have a van running down camping gear ## so look out for it ## many just rushed in after picking up their ticket so they did not spot the van . Facilities are roughly the same as other years. the crew bar has phone power charging 

its though Gate A and Pylon is down the hill - you can see the pylons in the photo - crew bar was on the left { out of sight }  and the Pyramid would be on the right { out of sight } - that is not all the camp - it was split in two { but the same field }

I always work in the crew bar { well for the past 15 years } so don't know the times of the public bars.

Well done to those who got places. Would have been a proper bulk of them to stay open for 20 mins

And I saw another Glastonbury spot at 7:11 - Looks like timings are irregular now

I went up and woke Mrs Fay up and she also got a space for a workmate.

I think that’s when it was available until (had a few people on it) and the first message to say not available anymore was bang on 07:11.  It rippled through the WhatsApp’s just after 7:00 so I imagine there were dozens of places

The one day I get a lie in as i'm going on a training course is the day they all come up.

For 2019 Oxfam sent me a link to a pre-recorded training video and I just had to email them back confirming that I'd watched it all.... And no I didn't fast forward a few parts of the 4hour video 🤔😂
