    Teknival à Cambrai : c’est (bien) parti ! – France 3 Nord Pas-de-Calais

    It’s in french but you get the idea of what is going on. The cops are set up in the control tower of the old airfield and are

    TBH I would be mega pissed if I knew the cops were looking over at me all the time. It kinda kills the vibe and makes it feel less free 🙁

    those are gendarmes and I remember reading that a great deal of them are young volunteers (not quite conscripts as national service is abolished throughout EU) but its probably the only way of earning a few Euros or getting some skills in poorer areas. In spite of all their guns and CS gas etc they are not as harsh as folk think or they could be in the past and nowadays often facilitate rather than restrict large crowd events. it is in no ones interests anywhere in Europe for too many bad incidents to happen here (think about all the areas in smaller countries like UK, NL and BE which are not being inconvenienced as much by a large illegal rave in their neighbourhoods, because the people doing them have gone to FR).

    they (not sure if it is organisers, council or Gendarmes) put sets of earplugs through the letter boxes of everyone living nearby in case they were concerned about the noise 😉

    He he, cheeky 🙂

    the lady living nearby said she could hardly hear it anyway so she wasn’t bothered. I haven’t got time unfortunately to translate all the news articlers but every one is supportive and discusses honestly both good points and potential risks (including warnings given to organisers not to dig too big holes, in case they might unearth any unexploded ordnance left over from WW II as the aerodrome was of course bombed back then!)

    Come on pycross, meet me at newhaven port and we will hitch hike the rest of the way. I was looking at the map and if we could get to dover it would only be a 3 hour drive from there. (bout the distance from Brighton to Cardiff)

    *Dreams*

    earplugs are available at the town hall for residents

    people who live nearby are worried but can not so much

    and hopes that it is taking place for the better

    les boules quies sont disponible a la mairie pour les habitants

    les gens qui habitent à proximité sont un peut inquiet mais pas plus que ça

    et souhaite que cela ce passe pour le mieux

    report on TF1 TV

    On Friday afternoon, the Teknival was well underway and more than 3,000 festival-goers were already present on the site of 70 hectares designated by the State, of the 350 that make up the old air base 103-Epinoy Cambrai (Nord / Pas -de-Calais).

    Reached by roads dotted with dams gendarmerie colored motorhomes and cars were waiting at the main checkpoint, while the police searched the vehicle with dogs.

    “They took away the grass that I had made, but within an hour it was re-offered me inside,” amused Katy, 24, a Londoner with fluorescent green hair , piercing and mini-skirt, while the hula-hoop to the main “wall of sound”.

    If it stays like this, I have nothing to complain about

    If electronic music spewed by these huge stacks of speakers was deafening inside the site, it was barely audible to Epinoy the

    “If it stays like that, I did nothing wrong,” enthused Wandewalle Maryse, 43, a resident with some neighbors were still left at the weekend as a precaution. Anyway, “was distributed to us earplugs in the mailbox.”

    Our reporters Anissa Herrou and Jean-Pascal Crinon attended the opening minutes of Teknival and also found that everything was done so that there is no major incident.

    Well we run the same risk in lots of places in the UK. There are lots of unexploded bombs around the south coast. I remember about 15 years ago when one of Hoogstraten’s nasty delapedated old buildings( that I used to have the pleasure of being housed in for a few months when we moved back to England) was being demolished. They unearthed Squadron leader Lt. Robin McNair’s spitfire that had been build on top of in the 60’s. Now the new building is named after him. I remember they had the bomb disposal people down there although I didn’t think spitfires carried Bombing ordinance. Anyway it goes to show that you never know when could be underneath you.

    Still to this day I don’t know how they could have just built a block of flats on top of a downed spitfire. I know that part of hove was not that built up back in the 40’s but still you think they would notice a crashed Aircraft -_-

    @rotbull (or anyone else who knows) – how are the costs of gendarmes and other public safety authorities covered (as well as the toilets and other things they have at Teknival) Do the organisers have to pay some Euros to the préfecture from the donations (if they took €2-€5 from each person all the costs would be covered).

    I’m interested as the problem we have in England is that the locals complain (not without justification sometimes) that the costs of cleaning up after a (unlicensed) rave and keeping people safe there end up coming out of non participants taxes, which is the main objection many have to these events.

    In Summer 2007 I was at a larger rave in East of England which was shut down hard by Police (the equivalent of “La jaune” or mobile gendarmerie, we do not have this in our country but the normal police change to “riot gear” uniform for harder conflicts). I worked out that it would (converted) have cost €12 000 for the Police and the forestry agency quoted €4 000 clean up costs. All of which the local taxpayer did have to pay, and that includes myself as the event was in Suffolk where I pay my local tax for the Suffolk Constabulary!

    However if this event had been tolerated and lightly regulated then the costs would have been €5 000 max which could have been recovered from donations, and so no taxpayers would have to pay extra.

    Is that how things work in France?

    NL regularly has this problem and has to evacuate places, and folk often unearth UXO on the East Coast (some of it more recent and from MOD/NATO exercises in the area!)

    in the bit of the Thames nearer to Daft is a USA ship full of explosives. I can’t remember whether the Germans sunk it or the Yanks crashed it (it is rocky and dangerous navigation there) but it is still down there getting ever more unstable and if/when it blows might put the windows out in half of South Essex.

    everyone gives what they want
    after all being played at the end of technival
    it is less expensive to the state to book us a airbase that requisition farmers and for security

    for requisition the farmers it should be given per person 10 €
