What have you done to get ready for Glastonbury 24 ?

[Penrhos]

1) Booked the time off at work. 

2) Starting the search for some new boots as my old ones have finally  given up the ghost - thus allowing plenty of time to get a comfy pair and break them in well.

3) Trying to get a bit fitter.

4) Praying to the ticket gods that I actually get past the payment verification screen this year.

Booked the hotel for the night before and the night after. Of course it can be cancelled up to the night before.

ordered the cover for the new pyramid stage hat ... finished setting up the new laptop ready for ticket day ... screen is going on my old one .... but I think I'm going to keep it till after ticket day ....as it was my mostly lucky laptop then put it on eBay

Am packing for Womad right now, where I'll be stewarding with Oxfam. In a roundabout way this is getting ready for Glastonbury 2024.

Great! I'll call every Oxfam steward 'Watergirl' and see what response I get!!

Most likely we'll meet. I think the number of stewards is way smaller than at Glastonbury.

I presume that you are going to tell any would be purchaser that the screen is f**ked?

@eFestivals are you attempting the ticket scrum this year ? For next

Started looking for a new tent. Had the other one 10 years and it started to leak at Bluedot.

The amount of rain at bluedot would have done most tents in

I did think that would be the case.

Updated my registration photo.

Making 2024 a sacrificial year due to the new expected arrival in January in the hope that i'm lucky enough the year after.

I've think a thunk. I've thunk a think.  And other stuff like that

Started worrying I won't get a ticket / will get a ticket but won't get a camper pass.

Also idly looking into volunteering, but it seems volunter spots that let you take your caravan / camper are super rare - I'm too old to camp in a tent 😕

Oxfam let you bring a caravan/campervan 😊

[Crazyfool01]

Added a smoke machine … new green led stripping and some streets stuff which may or may not get removed and a Vauxhall nova 

[Skip997]

That is superb, best yet.

I'd wear it, which is a massive compliment.

Keep The Streets stuff

Thanks skip … if they are on pyramid I’ll probably keep it … I’ve got another one to make for next year anyway so I’m going to be busy doing that

Festaff also allow camper’s at glasto, but not most other festivals.

Got the campervan's MOT done and provisionally asked father-in-law for term time babysitting services. 

[germanmon]

Made a firm decision not to go for tickets in the scrum. Only because we loved volunteering so much recently that we'd rather do it that way and get more time on the farm😀

That link doesn't work for me. Not its content, but the actual link! This is highly likely to be something at this end which isn't right - and I include the person tapping on the keyboard right now! Just thought I'd mention it in case it was more common than just being confined to me.
