Now it's come down to the serious stuff. What t-shirts to pack.
It's very stressful, I wouldn't want to be wearing one that somebody else (of 20,000) is.

Obviously nothing Fairport from this century and I can't find a 'Cupman' t-shirt that respectable enough to wear, even at Cropredy.  Lips Sealed

And don't forget to pack a Hawaiian shirt. We want this Beach Boy to see that Fairporters make the effort.

Hawaiian shirt chosen for me by my 6 year old granddaughter, a choice of 2 of Gareth’s,
she said the other one was dull and made her eyes hurt!

Do bear in mind that there may well be a fairly breezy north-west wind developing through the festival & something more than a simple T might be needed, especially on Saturday - there could also be quite a drizzle on that day too.

I can be fairly confident with a range of Prog TShirts to choose from Smiley

My packing is pretty much done though I can't say the same for the better half - hopefully we can leave sometime tomorrow morning as we have a six hour drive to look forward to.

What about your Acorn Fayre/Oak Seed Barn ones? They are fun as noone except ‘us lot’ know what the heck they are. (I would have to buy a teddy bear to sport mine tho’ as I seem to have been that size 7 years ago)

Not forgetting Big Dave, Small World.
