Loos, showers and not using soap in the lagoon
I thought I’d pass on a comment overheard in an inner-city supermarket. The actual details have been obscured to protect the innocent ‘n all that:Girl 1: “Are you going to GenericFestival this new years?
Girl 2: “ I’d love to, I mean its going to be huge. ImportantBand totally rock and it’d be wicked to see them outdoors. But I went to GenericFestival last year and the toilets were terrible, there wasn’t enough and they weren’t cleaned.”
Girl 1: “Ugh! That’s the biggest drawback about festivals. The organisers should get their shit together… so to speak”
Girl 2: “Ohh you’re terrible”
DON’T PANIC! Smelly toilets will not be an issue at Splore. How? By providing twice as many as last time and by changing the service provider, so that the level of service is improved and more frequent.
The organisers also investigated bringing showers onto site, but it turns out the regulations for disposing of the used water are hugely restrictive. As a result there won’t be any showers on site unless you bring your own solar solution. You can wash in the lagoon but it’s imperative that you don’t use soap or shampoo. The alternative is a dip in the ocean (good for the skin and the spirit) or just ride out the weekend and really appreciate the shower at home on Sunday.
