It's very early for this, so the thread will probably chillout in a corner somewhere for a while. But there were some people who had a great time last year, so I figured I'd get the dates up . . .
The Big Green Gathering
will be held on 2 - 6 August 2006.
It's been bloody brilliant for years and years, so I expect nothing less than a bloody brilliant festy this year!

For all you people with no money that still want to go, click on the site and volunteer to steward. It means you have to work, but not all the time

I was wondering, looking at their site, what they mean exactly by concessions? Do students get concessionary rates?

concessionary are for several reasons; off the top off my head they're for students, people on benefits, and the elderly.
