We’ve posted about this previously but Mean Fiddler are now making a push for volunteers at Leeds and/or Reading for 2007. This is a chance to get a free ticket for Leeds or Reading and also a few other perks like your own camping site.
There’s far too much information to post or summarise here, but if you’re interested you should definitely check out this link: http://www.dcsiteservices.com/cats/

Here’s something thats been tucked away on the official sites for Leeds and Reading, “Tangerine Fields”. This is a seperate camping field exclusively for customers of tangerine fields.
Who are they, you ask? They’re a company that offer pre-pitched, luxury tents in luxury surroundings. Including airbeds, sleeping bags, access to hot showers and toilets and even a boat for crossing the river for people at Reading!
It seems this is perfect for the lazy person who can afford a hotel but would prefer the camping experience. Not my cup of tea but if you’re interested more details can be found here:
