Glastonbury is just around the corner

Glastonbury is just around the corner! Our earlier teams will be arriving at the end of this week and the rest of the teams early next week so now is your last chance to make sure that you have everything you need before you arrive.

Before you leave you will need to make sure you do the following…

  • Acknowledge your position on your DCSS PAAM profile
  • Read the information pack for your team (match your team name to the info pack within the Event Info section for Glastonbury on DCSS PAAM)
  • Double check your arrival and finish dates
  • If you’re bringing a campervan make sure this has been approved with the office beforehand
  • If you’ve been approved to bring a campervan, make sure to arrive on Monday 20th by 6pm at the latest, regardless if the arrival date on your info pack is later
  • Read the Welfare & Directions Info
  • Read the shuttle bus information pack
  • Make sure to arrange your travel to and from the event

We’d also recommend ticking off a checklist…

  • Camping equipment!
  • Do you have snacks and refreshments for when you’re not on shift?
  • Have your entitlement to work in the UK documents (as on your DCSS PAAM profile)
  • Have your onsite sign-in sheet (found on your overview page of DCSS PAAM)
  • A good pair of dark boots (waterproof, protective and comfortable)
  • A waterproof jacket should it rain
  • Dark/black trousers/shorts. We recommend cargo trousers as these have lots of pockets!

Other than that, make sure you have a good pair of wellies and some sun block and you’re good to go!

I wanted to write personally to say a huge thank you to you and your brilliant team for all your hard work to enable to deliver, in such a short space of time, a wonderful Royal Windsor Horse Show.

When we started the planning, we honestly had no idea whether we could or could not run and had so many changes it must have made it almost impossible for your team – however as always they adapted and overcame the many hurdles that we presented, with a smile and a complete can do attitude and many people are saying that it was one of the best show’s that they have ever been to.

Everybody I have spoken to has said how fantastic the cleaning was and that the loos were immaculate, and the showground looked as good on the last day as it did on the first day – which is exactly what any organiser strives to achieve. Nothing was ever too much trouble and everything was delivered with a smile. Your cleaners were tremendous once again. Even with the date change and the added bonus (!) of COVID everything was delivered on time.
