Here we have had meeting with the Police Licensing Officer, and now a rep
from Ops. and from Building Control, There should also be a meeting with
Environmental health, and the Fire Brigade (the latter have so far bowed to
(Building Control)
The Entertainments License is now all part of the same legislation for
alcohol and licensed premises.
There is no light touch, the regulations and requirements are the same for
us as they are for the Galpharm Stadium (was McAlpine). The only leeway has
been that BC have not asked for evidence of fireproofing of messtents,
though they would if it were marquees!
If we provide entertainment and advertise publicly, we need a License, as
part of that License condition we need to have SIA Licensed Doormen (at
least) we can use our own stewards inside the venue but there are questions
of liability. And yes, we have to carry our random searches, frisking, and
bags, especially females.
Also, there is a no glass/ no cans condition, so we have to refuse entry/
confisctae cans and bottles. We have to decant any drinks in bottles and
cans into paper cups. Even though the pub along the road spills out onto the
street with kids drinking from bottles and cans with some impunity!
I shall be asking the Scout association to provide a factsheet on this as it
could seriously impact on fundraising events up and down the country.
Remember though, there is a Notice of Event option for under 500, and at
least here we get reduced rates for the license application because we are a
Scout Group. £21.50 as opposed to something like £275
