It’s probably best to have a look through past years threads rather than ask!

Happy to help out anyone who wants assistance on the 11th trying to get their volunteering spot, I've had lots of success in previous years. Private message me if you want some help...

Hmmm no priority email for me. Got a Glasto ticket so no biggie. I’ll wait a week to see if it lands.

 

I should be good until 2028 on the 7 in 7 rule.

 

I'm assuming you didn't get the bog-standard non-priority "places open" email either, which went out later the same day?

 

In which case it's probably going to be an email issue, something that Oxfam seem to have quite often.

I got the standard email and I’ve only volunteered with them once. The Shambino year, whenever that was

Yeah I think they leave a proportion of places available for general availability?

 

They don't specifically hold any places back, they just don't all go in priority. As far as I'm aware they only did it the once which was the year before they tightened up the criteria for priority

Thats correct.  Neither email landed.  Nothing to bother the office with until the new year.  

 

Arrived at 7pm Wednesday this year because I was on the coach from the NW.  I would have been on site for 48+ hours if I had chosen the Oxfam route.  I missed the Monday/Tuesday soooooo much!

Yeah, the Mon/Tues is what I miss most about working Glastonbury. But I'm too old/tired/lazy* these days for that so just have to go for a Wednesday AM arrival. Hopefully this year you can aim for a bit earlier through the gates, not a fan of those evening coaches at all and I've heard a rumour that some people even arrive Thursday 🤯.

 

Would be pretty confident your priority status is absolutely fine. At this point I only qualify under the 7 in 7 rule, having skipped 2024 entirely, and still got this years email but there's been times in the past where the email didn't come through at all (for no obvious reason) and yet everything was still ok when I went to login on the day.

 

*delete as applicable, but really it's just lazy.

Any recycling crew spent the last hour on the Critical Waste site? 😡 lost count of the times it crashed 

 

Yeah 😂 I just jumped straight to the payment, sent the bank transfer, waited a few hours, then filled everything out when there was less traffic on the website. I'm sure the "first come first served" thing is just when the payment comes in.

Has anyone else got an interview with Fai Watu today? Just sat waiting for 30 minutes to be let in to the virtual meeting room. No reply to emails either. I'm assuming they have an issue 

 

Is this for an employed position or volunteering?

Volunteers for Green peace bars in the past.
