Oh gosh we have just found 3 in the crew tent. Guess we'll be going for that 101% then!

Got a question about EMF? We can probably answer it. We also solve problems and help you out.

It’s a lovely sunny (but breezy) day in the UK on this bank holiday. Maybe a good day to get your tent out and shake out the emf spiders, think about your camping setup?

We have a new name!
We’ve been known as Infodesk for some time, but now we’re info and *help*. No desk.
There will be wandering helpers as well as those behind the traditional desk.
The new name hopefully will let people know that we’re the first place for you to come for help, as well as information. We can direct you to the right people without you having to wander around. We can probably solve most problems, we’ll have things you’ve forgotten, and we… most of all… want to help!
And we’ll be available by phone, email, or here on mastodon.
Please spread the news 💚
Do you need a mobility scooter during EMF?
We have a hire company that will deliver a scooter to site for you for the event.
Please drop us an email to contact@emfcamp.org if this would be useful and we can let you know the options.
#emfcamp26 #emfcamp2026
We are getting ever closer to the 2026 headers and avatar, and they look beautiful (as ever).
Other exciting things include a special role for the more experienced emf-goers which may or may not involve a special sticker if you’re good at herding ducks*. 🦆
👋 Hello EMF-goers!
We’re now at over 800 followers, which is about 1/4 of ticket holders.
Although there are various crowd-sourced unofficial spaces, any announcements or updates etc will come via the EMF social accounts (all on social.emfcamp.org or ending emfcamp.org)
During the event questions on here, via email to contact@emfcamp.org or over the phone (DECT 1001) will be prioritised for answers.
Also the One True Hashtag is #EMFCamp
🧮 EMF in numbers
It’s that time when many of us are full time on EMF and we’ve been hearing some interesting numbers from the teams.
We have ordered:
1.2 chairs per attendee
1 acre of flooring
5000 earplugs (assuming <2 ears on average)
A quarter of a ton of potatoes
Five bathtubs of milk
1 tent per 48 attendees

❓First time at EMF?
We’ve collected the kind of questions we see you asking around the various corners of the internet, put them to people who’ve been before, and put their advice in one handy place.

🏕️ Village dots on the map
Remember the dots are, as Captain Sparrow says “more like guidelines”. If you find the space is occupied, just go to a free spot nearby and move your dot.
Village locations are not reservations.
#EMFCamp
🔌 Power etiquette
The power distribution gets busy at this point. Unplugging your neighbours so you can plug yours in is not in the spirit of EMF. Do not do this.
The power team are doing laps to add more sockets as fast as they safely can. It may take a lap before they get to you but it will happen.
#EMFCamp
Bat signal time!
Is there anyone on site who can fit an alternator/aux belt on a 2018 Ford Transit. We have the belt but not the expertise or tools. Treasure available.
This is EMF. Call INFO if you can help.

Swap Shop reminder
If someone who doesn’t know what the item is could injure themselves by operating it out of curiosity, don’t put it in.
On an unrelated note, if you have a spicy pillow we have a sand bucket.
#EMFCamp
🛍️ Hexpansion markets location
Are on the dancefloor at NullSector, not in the Night Market.
#EMFcamp
💧 WATER OUTAGE
We are aware of a site wide water outage and we are on it as priority.
#EMFCamp
💧 WATER UPDATE 2
Drinking water is back at decent pressure.
Showers are still shut, they’re next on the list.
#EMFCamp
Bat signal
We have an urgent need for a bike pump capable of pumping up a wheelchair tyre.
Please call INFO or drop by the info tent if you have one, we have a runner on standby to come and get it.
#EMFCamp
We are about to release the telehandlers and the EMF site will become a construction site. If you are still on site, please be aware of your surroundings and wear hi-vis.

Do not leave your tent behind.
As you know, we will find you. However, this is the one exception.

🔋 Collected from the field
There should be zero, not Rule Zero.

💚 Info (and help)
As the last tents and telehandlers are being packed away, we’d like to thank you all. You may have noticed the rebrand to “and help”, and you were part of that.
We could solve many problems, but when we needed something we couldn’t source, we sent out a bat signal and you responded with gusto. Thanks for helping! Have a sticker.
(These “misprints” were more popular than the standard ones for some reason)
#EMFCamp
🛍️ Swap Shop
Thanks to all who collected their un-taken items from the swap shop so we didn’t end up with an extra job on teardown!
We did remove a few things for "someone who doesn't know what this is may injure themselves" reasons but on the whole we enjoyed seeing what you’d left, including the GameBoy challenge in the blue bag (the notes are always the best part of the story).
The donations page is still up if you missed the link when you were there, or didn't have a device that could scan it:

Post-camp planning for 2028 (info team)
We’ve had a get together, looked at your feedback, and worked out what went well and what we’d like to improve on.. and come to the conclusion that we need more than six people on info to take the next steps.
If you did a shift and enjoyed it, or have particular ideas about a Thing, drop us an email and we’ll be in touch.
We are particularly looking for:
- schedule displayers and printers (press button get schedule -thermal print?)
- meet and greeters from villages for newbies, like freshers fair
- Sneakernet (the post), Moist Von Lipwigs this is your calling
If you’re interested, email volunteers@emfcamp.org and use “info” as your subject line.
Those of you who have already been in touch, we see you and you’re already in the pool.
Commitment can be very much physical capacity and spoon-dependent so set your boundaries early and take care of yourself please!
