there will be a threee day gathering on a new site in South of England, details released after AGM (23rd Feb), hoping for full festie in 2009 back on original site nr Cheddar.
So sit tight until end of Feb. If anyone wants to be a shareholder, get on with it as costs will double after AGM, from £40 to £80.
BGG has been saved by an interest free loan from Stuart Galbraith (Live Earth/Live 8 Guy).
If you want to become a shareholder go to the website or
info@big-green-gathering.com with subject line "share application form".

I sent a share holder application and a cheque ages ago (well before the AGM) and haven't heard anything since.
Maybe i need to get in contact with them.
Any idea about some dates yet?
I've booked off the first weekend in august (the wednesday before to the monday after) so i'm really hoping it'll be then - or on 3 days that i've go a 3 day weekend!

we sent off the application and haven't heard, so we are assuming (never assume, it makes an ass of u and me, I know) that its OK but we got an email newsletter. We think they may be busy getting it all sorted out, and that if you made your intention plain, things are probably ok

received a certificate today saying I was an official shareholder
BUT also there has been a lot of bs about this egm (extraordinary general meeting), and a lot of people booked time off and rooms to go to it only for it to be just for certain people so there is a bit of ill feeling at the mo regarding the treatment of shareholders. Dh was on the forum last night and there is a lot of anger out there.
There will be an egm in Brighton, in March I think, so I prob won't go to that as it is a wee bit far.

oe 'er missis!
http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/080219c.shtml - must confess I may have had second thoughts about stumping up the fee to become a shareholder had I read that first..........BP?? - AEG??? - Murdoch??? - looks like it'll be Tony's cronies and chocolate teapot companies all round!

all seems a bit weird - guess we have to wait and see what transpires, or you could go there and ask some questions??? I don't think you are the only person dazed and confused by what's going on, judging by the forum.

Dh can't wait for Martin to get involved - it might even be the deciding factor as to whether a trip to Brighton is in order!
