Thanks guys - already panciking about the details entered


I put my name on the for first so everything addressed to me but the card details in girlfriends name and will that cause a problem at authorisation stage etc - almost certainly not... but you know...


Louisana/Tillie - shame you guys aren't going now we could have had an EDF field


So who else on here IS going?

Ah, we're going alright! - just my partner's daughter that isn't.

So yes, let's make an ED field.

Any ideas for a flag??


And what you did: I did exactly the same, in the heat of the moment (didn't realise the first reg no/name entered would be assumed to be the card holder). I checked with ticket people, and there's no problem with that, and funds went though without problems. So don't worry, just celebrate.

Hmm - a flag. What SAYS East Dulwich? ... maybe each tent in the group could have the logo of a local shop on it

Or we could have a suggestion box at the fair on Goose Green.


We are travelling down on the Wednesday by the way so not sure how many others are doing same or relying on space "being considerately left by others"

Ignoring my first attendance (over 15 years ago - shriek!) where, like all the other teens, we foolishly set-up shop as near to the pyramid as possible (dur): Top spot was always in the Green Fields bit in between the stone circle and where Lost Vagueness is now.

But as we don't usually get there until Thursday afternoon, it's impossible to get on that bit - especially with more than one tent. Last couple of fests we were at the same end, but on the other side - the bit behind the Glade / green futures (whatever this field is called)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
