Great festival guys! Good choice of bands and DJs too, had me dancing like a twat most of the weekend!
The food was really tasty, and pretty cheap too. I especially love them because I got my dinner for free after I waited so long for the mash potato to be ready! Have to look out for them if they are at Glasto. Mmm bamby sausages....

Thanks to everyone who came / helped. You're all greatJust got home... knackered...wash, sleep and more sleep Thank you for helping to keep the site so clean, we had hardly any litter left afterwards A* for effort as it meant I've got home in daylight.
Any pictures or video please let me know, we got lots of stuff (none of which I've looked at but the more footage we find the more and better quality memorandum we can create.)

Thanks for a fantastic festival guys, cool come to and meet some new people
Has there been any lost/found stuff collected, 'cause I've managed to lose my black/white sock poi with weighted handles and my black Dickies coat (it has a little patched cigarette burn in the back) and would be extremely grateful if anyone could tell me where they got to!

Saturday is up there as one of my best days ever at any festival; it was exceptionally good
Highlights included:
Excellent Frisbee Sessions (mostly in pitch dark with glow discs)
The Hang Drum sessions
Meeting up with Matt again after all these years
Kazoo Bohemian Rhapsody
The chanting workshop
Not having any massive hangovers (a festival first)
Seeing and playing with so many friends and feeling very happy indeed
Special thanks to Gayle, Neil and Carl who made it their task to get me there despite the fact I was a fool who'd spent most of his money- thankyou all, I would have missed so much.
Thanks to all involved with F.L.A.M.E.- you've done yourself proud by putting on a great festival; it more than lived up to the stories of the previous year and I shall be there in 2009

again well done to the FLAME boys it was awesome better than last year by a country mile. keep up the great work boys.
the only downside to the whole event was that i didn't get my kit unpacked early enough so i got burnt before i found my suntan lotion and had to avoid the sun most of the rest of the weekend.
DOH
