Hi All, got my party (outdoor) coming up soon, and although I have an idea of what I'm gonna say if/when the police turn up, I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced party makerz (ie if have been in this situation and you've pursuaded them to let the party go on!) on what to say to keep them happy... :D

I have loadz of saftey equipment...

CO2 & Foam Fire extinguishers
Fire Blanket
2 x20 person First Aid kits
Heat Blankets (them silver things, dunno wot there called really)
Free Water
Mobile Phone(s)

Also I plan on having the site spotless when we leave (assuming they dont pull the bullshit they did @ the AP party...well actually I dont plan on leaving untill the place is all done)

Well apart from obviously the stuff for sound, is there anything I might have forgotten?

Any do's and dont's I should know about?

As I understand the law, they can break up the party if we are causing a nuisance to the area, I'd imagine this includes pissing of neighbours with loud music (not an issue, no close houses), criminal damage, selling drugs (not issue, am not that dumb lol)....anything else?

I'm not expecting more than 200 people, and I have been told the police wont try to shut down a party that is to big 'to do it safely', any idea whats to big?...any idea what they consider small enough to kill off easily?

Thanx for your time! Peace Love and Empathy x x x
 
portaloos - one of the biggest problems the kent police have is removing shit from the woods - and bog roll that doesnt degreade ready

so portaloos would really help
 
Yep, I can appriciate that, the problem is how do I get a portaloo to the party site without telling them where to put it? Maybe I am just paraniod, but...

Can someone recomend a company for portalooz?
 
this was a suggestion by one helpfull festival gooer...

Or you could power out a shit on Friday (saturday) morning, before leaving, and then demonstrate how you have the "iron arse" of the campsite by waiting till a service station/the train/your house on Monday (sunday).

I've done this both years.
 
I've seen people digging big holes for people to crap into at parties in the past. Perhaps this is a good idea. Get a load of meterial and make 4 or 5 enclosure that people can use. Then at least its all in once place and can either be buried or moved out ...
 
I went to a party in Aus where they had little canvas enclosures for peeps to poop in.

Is that really gonna stop them closing it down if they want to tho? Check out the 40th Birthday party got closed down thread...
 
yep, my sister said the same thing, might do this infact, well I better make sure no one will fall in the holes somehow I guess, maybe a couple of old chairs with holes in lol hmmm thanx :)

to be fair, i cant understand why people cant just hang on for a bit - i always go beforehand on sat and if i need to on sun afternoon / eve when i get back - can people really not hang on that long? :blink:
 
Regarding what to say to the police, get in touch with Fushion Julz, the man's been chatting to them more times than most. He'll tell you all you need to know.
 
isn't a clear path for ambulance\emergency services access important. at least one conscious first aider and maybe first aid area. decent organised supevised parking. loadsa bins
 
yep, I am gonna make sure there is emergancy access for sure!

I was trying to get on the St. Johns Ambluance first aid course, but didnt make it in time :( any first aiders out there gonna join us on the 18th? :D

bins of course, dunno about supervised parking tho, hmm, should be organised somehow, thanx for the reminder!
 
should tone it down in the morning

I agree with this, and actually I like to start to relax around 10am plus, well we have chillout gonna start around then anywayz

Testosterone and fingers up at the police just doesn't work. Keep it fluffy and live to party another day.

yep I agree, unless you happen to get some really grumpy arsed bunch of coppers, I dont think there really gonna be up for jumping in and starting a big fight anyway, of course it does happen, but I'm definitly not gonna put up with people starting trouble like that in the party!!
 
People will shit in the woods regardless of how many pits you dig.

There will be excrement-smeared bog roll amongst the trees. Be prepared to clear it up.



As for coppers - treat them as you would any other person.

If you are polite, they may still give you shit.

Treat them like idiots and they will give you shit.

Did anyone go to Boom in 2000? - there was lot of VERY ill people after the event mainly as a result of people shitting everywhere...
