Looking for a 3 day ticket for a Cropredy virgin who has just decided to come...  If all else fails we'll buy one at £175 but if anyone had one to offer for less please let me know  Tiara

Got the Mr Sheen polish on the tent poles! Not bad after last year's heat, but makes 'em hopefully slide through the slits and not keep separating. Just my idea.......

Might be overkill, might not… : https://www.wired.co.uk/article/best-tents-for-families-festivals-camping-waterproofingWe enlist the help of McLaren and use its state-of-the-art testing facility simulating a car driving through a monsoon at 50mph to discover the best tent for surviving festival season

So am I.
I just hope they allow those with Cropredy tickets to see it and don’t limit it to those with Fringe tickets.

It may be worth getting there early in the day to make sure.

All camping gear is in the front room now and we will check it later, plastic glasses and mugs are cleaned, shopping list finished, we will set up the tent in the garden on Monday to see how many peggs are missing, tickets and car pass are on the shelf, preparation looks good so far.

Found confirmation in the FB event chat, you can go with an fcc wristband unless they’ve reached capacity. So concur on getting there early.
