New Committee Rattles The Cans

If you dared venutre out in the miserable weather of the second weekend in October you probably would have seen our new committee out on the streets and in the clubs extolling the virtues of Pride Membership.

Our 'Put Out With Pride' membership drive is all about putting us in a better finacial postition to ensure we can put on a bigger and better festival this year. Many people don't realise just how much money it takes to put on a festival these days.

First up there is the cost of insurance. The cost of insurance for public events has skyrocketed since the 9/11 attacks in the USA and without insurance you can't even book a venue.

The other major cost that nobody thinks about is paying for the police. We are forced to have the police on hand and we are forced to pay for their services.

The last cost is also one we'd rather we didn't have to need... and that's fencing. Because of local council regulations, insurance issues and liquor licencing many metres of fencing are needed.

So the next time you see one of us out and about you hopefully won't have to ask what the money is for and where it goes.
