I have to agree, we purpoosely left home late, arriving on the holding field at 4pm but were still kept there for two hours, not really acceptable. Plus I've had problems with the new ticket distributers. I asked for camping on the accessible field only to be told that the organisers have now stipulated that they will not accept a blue badge as evidence of a disability, and that they require evidence of PIP or attendance allowance or a letter from a GP stating your disability. This I think is discrimination, I really don't think that a ticket selling agency should have to see evidence from your medical records. A blue badge is not easy to get and I believe should be enough evidence of a persons request for access to the accessible field.


Agree fully Angela! We were told we needed a doctor’s letter, the surgery said no, which annoyed me. I contacted the caravan hire company and explained the situation and somehow we found ourselves moored very close to gate 4, so not far to get to the site at all, which was a surprise. Where did you end up?
It really is discrimination and very wrong.

Outrageous!  I think you're right - I'd push back strongly....they could find themselves in all sorts of trouble if they don't change that.

Some nice songs there Skirky. I've downloaded the album and will give one of the tracks a spin on my next radio show.



Thank you Colin!
