Greenbelt news

============================================
Two days to go
============================================
Pretty much all the canvas is up. The mainstage scaffold is all-but built.
It will be complete by breakfast tomorrow. The production office gets busier
each day. There's a buzz. There's a bustle. There's just two days to go!
============================================
Tickets – dispatch and pick-up
============================================
If you haven't received the wristbands you were expecting in the post, don't
panic. Just make sure you arrive with proof of your identity and your order
reference and go to the 'pre-paid' window at the Box Office.
You can still order online but you will – as above – have to collect your
wristbands onsite. (Just bring your order reference and proof of ID.)
============================================
Flickr your photos
============================================
Once again we're asking anyone who would like to contribute to a visual
collage of the Greenbelt 07 online to post their images to the Flickr
website. See http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/index.php?p=899 for more.
============================================
Festival harvest collection
============================================
The fifth annual food collection takes place between 4.30pm on Monday and
11am on Tuesday at the end of the Festival this year. Drop off sealed
packets, tins, etc outside G-Source.
All the food is redistributed via projects working with destitute asylum
seekers and others.
============================================
Weather report – looking good for the weekend
============================================
Whichever forecast site you check, all the reports are now looking
encouraging – to say the least. It had to come good some time, after the
summer we've had. And dare we say that it looks like it's going to come good
for Greenbelt? Spread the word. The sun will shine. What did you expect?
(The postcode for the Racecourse is Gl50 4SH. Make sure you look at
forecasts for that location. It's not great everywhere!)

Forgiveness
=============
============================================
Channel 4 news
============================================
I've just watched one of he most powerful pieces of news magazine I've ever
seen: Krishnan Guru-Murthy interviewing Rev Julie Nicholson, the mother from
Bristol who has not been able to forgive the bombers after her daughter was
killed in the 7/7 attacks, and the Father of Kiyan Prince, who was stabbed
outside his school last year in Edgware, north-west London, who has forgiven
his son's killer.
It will be on Channel 4's 'watch again' service by tomorrow no doubt – check
out http://www.channel4.com/news/watchlisten/ – it was the last item on
tonight's Channel 4 News. Worth checking out.
See also Krishnan Guru-Murthy's blog entry after returning from talking to
Frances Lawrence, the widow of Philip Lawrence, the murdered head-teacher –
