I help with the website side of things, but that's the extent of my involvement.

Interesting new rules. The new criteria certainly favors those who are not bound by time restraints.    I have volunteered on and off with Oxfam for nearly 15yrs (my wife 10).  My job means my leave is fixed to set dates, sometimes they allign with a festival (not just glastonbury)  sometimes they don't. Either way it is almost impossible to be able to do 2 festivals in a year, yet alone 3, purely on the dates. But When we do volunteer we are always supervisors or shift leading team and like to think we work hard and bring experience to the roles, which I would like to think is valued somewhere.   Not been priority since they dumped the supervisor rule, fine with that but the new criteria pushes it further out of reach as was aimimg for the 7 in 7.    Have tickets for Glastonbury this year (first time that i'll actually be able to use a ticket) but was debating stewarding again as 1) We like to work for oxfam and contribute and 2) to add another festival to our record. Can't really see the benefit now that it is worth 0 points.    My thought is that perhaps they are aware that their projected stewarding contract for 2027 at Glastonbury might be significantly lower than it is currently, so they are trying to cull priority numbers in anticipation? 

A bit of Efests nepotism with this one, but thought it would be appropriate given the subject of the song.    My son's band released their debut single on Friday and it is written in loving memory of my best mate and fellow Glasto enthusiast who tragically passed away in August 2022 from a brain tumour exactly 3 months after his 3-day festival themed wedding at the age of 42. On his wedding day he was fit and healthy with no symptoms whatsoever.    Only a few weeks later he started to get blurred vision, unable to focus on messages on his phone and suffered blind spots in his peripheral vision when driving. His condition deteriorated rapidly, forcing him and his new wife to abandon their honeymoon at Glasto while they waited to find out what the issue was.   Finally, in mid-July he got the devastating news that he had an incurable brain tumour and was given, at best, 18 months to 5 years with treatment. Sadly, he only lasted 5 more weeks, losing the ability to speak or understand anything that was happening to him, and he passed away on the 3 month anniversary of his wedding.    He was Godfather to my eldest son and honorary Uncle to my youngest. He had been a constant presence throughout both their lives and was like family to both of them. When I took my two boys to say their goodbyes to him at the Hospice my youngest son, who was only 16 at the time and had just been accepted into Music College, made a promise that he would write a song for him. This is that song and I am so unbelievably proud of what he has produced.   Despite him and his band mates only being 17/18, I think most people will be surprised at how mature and timeless the songwriting is, and it is a fitting tribute to a guy who was universally loved by everyone who knew him and was a true Glasto lover having attended multiple times over the years.    Anyway, the band is called Cold July. They have well over an album's worth of material ready to go, and they will be releasing more music throughout the year. If you like what you hear, then give them a follow over on Instagram and whatever your chosen streaming platform is. As you all know engagement, follows, likes, playlist adds, etc are all so crucial these days for young bands starting out, especially with debut singles, so I'm sure they would appreciate the love from the Efest community.         

hahahahhhahaha     no.
