oh good! I thought if I could find other people doing it on their own then we could exchange numbers nearer the time and meet there? Are you on facebook?

EdenFKirin posted this 19 June 2015

sweet :) I'll add you! good to have found someone else haha

picklelilley posted this 20 June 2015

I've done it alone a few times (though not for a few years so prob wont recognise anyone now!) they have always been a friendly lot so don't worry!

EdenFKirin posted this 20 June 2015

I'm so glad I found a thread about this! I'm on my own too and it'll be my first time at the festival so I'm a little nervy. My facebook is https://www.facebook.com/nicolalar :)

Hello everyone. I'm Isabelle and this is my first time volunteering for Reading 2015. Am pretty excited and nervous at the same time. I hope that my shift pattern won't clash with Mumford & Sons performance because I would be heartbroken heh.

picklelilley posted this 11 July 2015

Hi Isabelle,

Did you apply early? Hopefully you'll get your chosen shift (or a Hat so you can still get a little peak at them) :)

Hey all I volunteered on my own last year and had a great time, I met a great bunch of people and can say that you most likely will too

Hi everyone, no need to worry about going alone, you will all have an amazing time at Reading 2015 ^^\" The best year I ever had at Reading was the first time volunteering and I also was alone and met the most amazing people! If anyone would like any help or advice with anything I am happy to help out, been volunteering now for a few years, I'm very friendly and always want everyone to have the best possible experience from their time :)

picklelilley posted this 02 August 2015

Ooh it's starting to get close! Anyone else got a spotify playlist going?

At some point I do plan to add you guys on facebook and get a little chat going! I'm just restricted to my phones rubbish Internet at the moment!

HelloKittyAy posted this 02 August 2015

What kind of playlist are you looking for - one specifically with artists playing this year at Reading or just random ones? :)

Specifically playing reading this year :) I've started adding some things on spotify - I like to have a listen to some of the lesser known acts before going to try to work out who I want to see - although to be fair my plans don't alwsys work out and I end up randomly watching people :D

HelloKittyAy posted this 05 August 2015

Aww yeah I get ya :) same always ends up happening, although only about 3 acts I 'really' want to see this year so I'm sure I can make it work ^^\"

I'm afraid I don't have a Reading list yet but I will most likely make one now the idea is in my head - thanks! :D

Hey. This is my first year volunteering and going on my own. Would be nice to know a few others doing the same. My Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/clare.fuller.334.

So what shifts are you all on?

I'm bravo 1 so I'll miss Friday night (unless I'm in the arena!) but I'm pretty happy with my allocation :)

clarekym posted this 10 August 2015

I'm going on my own and I'm also in bravo 1, a little gutted about possibly missing Friday night but it'll be worth it

HelloKittyAy posted this 11 August 2015

What day is everyone planning to turn up to pitch? It's getting so close now I'm so excited!! :D

I've also been allocated Alpha 1 ^.^\" my personal favourite shift.

Alpha 1 was actually my 4th choice but am soooo happy with it. I was thinking the Tuesday although do we know when our briefing is yet??

HarriRebekah posted this 11 August 2015

I'm Charlie 1 ð?? anyone else ?

HelloKittyAy posted this 12 August 2015

The Alpha 1 Briefing will we held around 7pm Tuesday eve but they hold a second one for anyone who can't make the Tuesday, and that will be held Wednesday usually around 11am :)

Unfortunately getting it for free means missing something - I'm still happy to get the other days off (and I didn't want to work Sunday night).

Hey. There are a lot of Bravo 1 here. Haven't found any other Alpha 1 yet. Is anyone else driving. Do we know how far our car park is from our camping as I haven't volunteered before.

Evallelyyy posted this 17 August 2015

Is anyone else in Delta 1? Haven't heard of anyone else so far! [:)]

The car parking is not far for us, probably the shortest walk you'll have all week

That's pretty good then, better then the public car parks to where I normally camp.

HelloKittyAy posted this 19 August 2015

Hey Clarekym I am also on Alpha 1 :) and also as Dafter said the carpark from our camp is around 50-100m walk depending how early you turn up ;)

bakershake posted this 20 August 2015
