It’s a great idea this, but looking at budget surely between us things can be borrowed ie marquees, lighting, generators. If you have it in May before most of the summer festivals I know at least one marquee that would do it for diesel costs rather than hire costs.
And as for toilets, save money and build your own, very little cost, enviromental and farmers don’t mind as everything is buried afterwards. All you need is a location that’s not below the water table. I’d be happy to volunteer to dig and build. Digging a hole for myself is almost my speciality!

Yep you certainly dug a hole when u got SD mixed up with DS :laugh_at:

didnt catch why we must limit it to 500 people? i think with a fat multirigger we should have as many as we can get our hands on? i find the parties with more people = more fun :group_hug

I think that the TENs means you cant have more than 500 people at the event

Because if we are going to run this properly then we would have to make it licensed to ensure that it goes without a hitch. If it’s in Devon then there will be some people travelling across the entire country to get there, and possibly some people from abroad.

If it’s not licensed then there is a risk it may get shut down and people would have made massive wasted journeys. In addition to this, we could not openly discuss and share ideas about the weekend on here and it would be limited to a few people making decisions in secret which doesn’t seem right considering it’s a board meet up.

One other benefit is that it gives the organisers the opportunity to put a bit of effort it, rather than just turn up and plonk a soundsystem down like most the free party efforts.

To make an entertainments gathering licensed you either need a PEL (massive amounts of organisation, time and money involved) or a TEN (moderate amount of organisation and cheap to apply for)

The TEN is much more viable for this but it does restrict a gathering to 500 people.

All the other suggestions about doing free parties and having a massive multi-rigger are all well and good and people are free to organise these in their own time, but for a gathering such as this it needs to be licensed and in doing so there is no point in having 10+ uber rigs.

welly, could you put whoever has that marquee in touch with us as soon as possible, please?

As welly said i reckon you could cut down on those costs by diggin compost toilets,

if you speak to a portaloo company about the quantities of human waste produced by a group of 500 people over 3 days, plus all the people who will have to be in site for several days before and after to set up and pack down, you will find that you will need to dig an enormous hole, or absolutely loads of smaller holes to contain all that

if people are serious about this, and have the timber to construct all these compost loos and are actually going to do it, great. but if it gets to the day before the festival and all the people needed to do that have bunked off, the whole event would be fucked

I’m not sure that any of the landowners I have in mind are going to be totally happy with loads of compost loos being built

Quote:

also im sure if its a PV meet-up can’t the rigs supply their own marquees, lighting, sound engineers, gennys etc.

if anyone offers marquees big enough, lighting rigs good enough and gennys powerful enough for all the additional stuff like bar, cafe etc. if you read the budget, there is no cost for sound engineers. I’ve allowed £200 per rig for travel expenses and a small gratuity

Quote:

Also if theres 6 rigs that want to do it why not link them and share resources and have three phat systems, have one rigs djs one night and one the other… I reckon have 3 main rigs, a chill-out area (in woods if there is any),

that is the plan :you_crazy

Quote:

and geo-dome for a cafe/welfare area. Thats gotta save a fair bit i reckon.

i know one crew with a geo dome but they charge a lot as they are a real hassle to put together, so it would be looking for land with barns / outbuildings that a bar / cafe could go in

Quote:

I don’t doubt an event like this could cost a lot of money to put on, but maybe it would be best to have it more as a co-op rather than hiring bits here and there, and then spread any money left to give back to the rigs/helpers….

i’m starting to feel like I did the last time we sent a donations bucket around at a free party

is £25 such a lot of money? it’s £8 per day for a wicked event

Rigs wouldnt be a problem there would be lots of people willing to set up! Marquees would be good but arn’t necercerally esseenstial i have had a dance in alot of different conditions! also if this event was to go ahead obvioulsly it would be nice to have some luxurys like toilets(a def if this is to be legal dont want people shitting everywhere!)! But i would want it to have the feel of a free party not a commercial festival! After all it is for a free party forum!
