PV Party Planning.

[DJCliffy]

Right folks, I think we actually need to sort out a PV party for next year.

I have been a member here since 07 and have yet to meet some of you. I think this website is large enough and that by having a PV party it would solidify our position as one of the UKs top Party Websites.

I Am prepared to organise or help organise a two day event in the southern areas or if someone knows someone with some land and would be prepared to let us have a party there that would be the one.

I don't know how we'd go about it but i really want this to happen so if you want to pitch in and help then please do.

Obviously we'd do it by the book and be in full cooperation with the council we hold the party in.

I have contacts that can provide security and first aid. We'd need a TEN's license but i don't know what else.

Would be great if any rig owners helped as well but if not then i shall look into renting a soundsystem.

We'd have to obviously pay for it ourselves in the form of tickets but try to make it as cheap as possible.

Also try and sort out transport routes as well so if people are coming from far away they'd know where to go, and even maybe run coaches. minibuses from designated spots.

I think from now to next year would be enough time to sort this out so if you're willing to help then jump aboard and lets get the ball rolling.

Cliffy :love:

think to get a licence you need the layout soughted and health and safty preposal .. or what ever it's called .. so i think venue and stages (amount of) should be decided first .. but i not helped to organise an event like this so will be more a learning curve. allso i think it should be a privet party for pv members only with invite as we don't want randoms causing trouble turning up and just wandering in also it will bode well with the people who dish out the licence that we are monitoring who comes to it .. i allso think we should make it for a cause ... (probably not be alowed to sell beer there as that's a whole diferant licence .. so cash can't be generated for charity from that) mby have food and facepainting ,hair braiding and fun stuff like that ..

[DaftFader]

i'd like to sugest melingitus reasurch as i lost 2 good friends to it one was negligence when diognosing it .. and i think the more we know about it the better ..

all sugestions should be discust and an agreement made for what we think is the right way forward tho ..

[DJCliffy]

Yeah doing it for a charity or even a few charities would be the one. As i have said i am prepared to organise it but doing it with a committee would be better,

A charity inspired event would the better cos it would show that it's not a money making exercise but a gathering of good people listening to good music and just having a good time.

Beer and alcohol we can sort ourselves, bring your own. It would have to be exclusive to PV members but they can bring whoever as long as they are sound.

As i have said i have an old mate from school who runs a security firm, He has provided security for the V festival and a couple other big events. I should be able to get a good deal from him. We'd need security that way it would show the authorities we are serious about it.

First aid is a must, Try and contact St Johns or someone like that.

See how much portable toilets and a shower would be.

Find out costs and set the ticket prices accordingly.

We can do this, if we all put our minds to it we can pull it off, I am very much up for this.

PV needs an event like this.

[deliriyummy]

i also am very much up for this... if i can help in any way.... give me a shout... but really shower? who does that?

[deliriyummy]

and yes to melingitus... a friend of mine was serious with this for quite some time. touch and go for a bit... im up for some fund raising

[DJCliffy]

i also am very much up for this... if i can help in any way.... give me a shout... but really shower? who does that?

I do. i need my showers mate lol! But good man, If we get enough people interested then we can start planning something. :wink:

[Soul glow Bro]

sounds good, ill set up the paypal account..:wink: dough-Nations welcome..

[p0ly]

all hail the drone, bringer of good ideas!!

cliffy is the vessel

[DJCliffy]

Hahaha the drone has inspired me!

[General Lighting]

you need a book called the purple guide published by health and safety executive (I think its somethign like "risk management at public events" which has all the safety rules in

I think meningitis and a NHS hospital trust would be good charities as it shows us ravers are putting something back into the NHS (other than casualties!)

I have a lot of experience with telecoms and radio systems and logistics for events, was a Civil Servant for 4 years so know how to deal with Whitehall and Councils and would be willing to assist with this. Naturally I would prefer a venue in the East of England, particularly Essex or Suffolk. Not just because I live nearby but I want to show that we can organise a decent and safe event here...

[DJCliffy]

Right well when i thought if planning this event, I actually thought this would go alot smoother if you were on-board GL, I mean you have alot of knowledge on the subject. Plus I'd feel safer if some like you were on board. I haven't a clue how to go about this. Got a vague idea lol!

Yeah east of England would be good. Whereever we decide to hold it i will plan transport routes and try to make them as hassle free as possible. Also run a minibus service so those without cars will be able to get to the event from designated meeting points,

I'll have a word with my mate about security and see what he says about quotes and stuff like that.

I'll have a look at that book as well GL,

[MisterDuck]

I'm well up for this Cliffy and will do my best to help organise.

East of england sounds a good bet 'cos it's not too far for either us Northern crew or those that live in the South. I'll catch a train to wherever tbh.

Minibus sounds a great idea, always baffles me when 20 people drive from the same location each in their own car! Bad for the environment, and it's nice to not drive and have a pint or two!

[deliriyummy]

yes a party is a must...... BTW cliffy is a legend.... just met him inda pub! we should defo get something organised...... just wondering how many partyvibers would come... this board i quite slow ATM...gotta make sure ppl come.

[MisterDuck]

the board can seem slow but it has many lurkers who rarely post but would still come to something like this.

[greenearth]

Hi all!

Can I make the suggestion that people seriously consider doing events as benefits for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA). These guys are doing sterling work, and actually the LCA really needs an input of energy/people as well as dosh:

Leviticus Community Forums • View topic - The Legalise Alliance Campaign Needs your help folks! (http://www.leviticuscollective.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=640)

I do actaully have some land in east sussex on which a party could be had...but I'm not really into a big pay event, but maybe a private party type thing that would be legal without needing a licence. Its still not illegal to invite your friends to your party! (other than possibly public order or noise issues). So that could be a space for say 100-200 people. One condition, no psy trance all night please!..nice cosmic mix of happy hardcore, dubstep etc mixing into the pys trance (not progressive) say post 2/3 am.

All the best

i would rather put cash in for something that is gonna help people not die rather than help people get stoned legaly .. no offence tho .. just my prioritys are not your way inclined

[romance223]

I say Its avery good idea! just need a team of good organisers realy! you have a good start so far! The best idea is having it the middle of england so its far travel for people!
I have sum soundsystem rigs and people organising it! so PM me for more advice if u need any rigs! thanks!

[DaftFader]

also if your trying to get a legal event going like this you don't really want something advocating the use of illigal drugs getting in the way of any licence proposals. It brings unwanted attention.

[joshd96320]

i think its a dream thats not so distant.

im willing to help in whatever way possible..

i think alcohol may be a problem since its harder to get a license for that... maybe easier just forgetting alcohol ..

i think ill add more when im less tired

[DaftFader]

yeah bring your own would be an idea we would have to toy with

[joshd96320]

i dont think that would work either coz a license is still required for it to be consumed on premises i doooo believee

[DaftFader]

well if that is the case .. then it's easyer to get than a selling licence ...
there was a legal party this weekend what didn't sell booze but let you bring it your self ... this sugests to me either you don't need a licence or it's easyer to get other wise i would imagin they would of been selling it there...

[ketordeath]

this is the greatest idea EVER!!! i am well up for it!!! will help in anyway i can......

big up Cliffy for having such a great idea!!!

[Holeydel]

Alcohol: I was at a party once where one stall sold poker chips. You took these chips to another stall and exchanged them for alcohol. Maybe this is some sort of licence loop hole or something as alcohol isn't actually being sold?

[MisterDuck]

can work. i dont really know though. GL you know bout this?

I don't like cannabis at all so this isn't something i'd like to donate to, Sorry mate, just what i believe you know.

I'd rather have the money given to a charity that will help people.

Also as per the alcohol thing, I think bring your own would be better. That way people can share if they so wish. If everyone agrees maybe put some money together and buy a big bulk amount and share it out equally.

Just an idea.

:bounce_fl

[MisterDuck]

That's a good call. it all depends how big this event turns out to be.

[CozMik]

I'm game. I know a few fellows who can supply a decent rig, although petrol and shit will have to be paid for by us lot.

[DJCliffy]

yeah any costs will be met. I think this should be done via tickets. That way we can make it a ticket only affair so no scallies turn up.

If someone ain't got a ticket then they ain't getting in!

This surprises me Cliffy, I thought ur a right stoner (4 some reason). Oh, and top idea by the way, I'll definitely be there. Be even better if it was a weekend festival of Sodam & Gommorrah...

this has been talked about so many times over the years, it would be fantastic if we could sort a PV meet up :love:

Sounds good, I hope we can sort it. I'm up for helping anyway i can.

I text you last week or some random time when I was getting drunk, not changed me number
I didnt text you yesterday

I used to be mate but haven't touched it in about 5-6 years now.

[joshd96320]

perhaps to bolster numbers thus making tickets cheaper and a bigger crowd = bigger vibe, we could make it so PV members mates can come too..

[DJCliffy]

Yeah mate, PV members mates would be allowed, make tickets available to everyone.

Just have to make a rule though that if anyone misbehaves and gets warned more than three times then out they go.

Most festivals / parties throw people out the first sign of trouble so having a three strike rule is fair i think.

:wink:

[Tek Offensive]

would like to meet more pv'ers, as cliffys the only one ive met.

im happy to throw a soundsystem and that into it. were upgrading everythin atm as well so it should be twice the size by the time this is sorted. plus decks and lighting and all that.

also got a mate that can get good prices on generators, porta-loos, lighting and that.
he recently sorted two 50k gennies, about 8 toilets and lots of lighting for a festival we helped with for free, so should be pretty damn cheap.



where would this be do ya reckon??, fair few of you are from up there so midlands would be good i guess, if not and people are happy to travel then theres land we could sort in oxfordshire,

thres been a few events there, ARCANE being one and the farmer has already promised us use of the same field after we lent him some system.

hope this all happens, would be a sweet night

[DJCliffy]

I like the sound of that Tek mate. I'm sure others would be happy to travel there as well. Roughly whereabouts in Oxfordshire (North, South etc) is it?

If you can find out more from that farmer it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking sometime next summer would be the one, plenty of time to plan and hopefully it wouldn't clash with any other events in the area.

What does everyone think?

[DJCliffy]

Right i've had a look at Oxfordshires website and have found the section about planning public events.

The organisation of any public event, regardless of its size or the numbers of people attending, requires careful planning to ensure the safety of the public. Any event which involves any of the following will require a licence:

* 500 or more people attending
* sale of alcohol or food
* the playing of amplified or live music


So if we can hold an event in Ox then at least we know who to contact.

:love:

[PhilKmorgan]

Everyone will come, it will be a sell out

that's a sweet field ... got nice drainage as well .. so even if it's been raining the water just runs down the hill and is still dry/walkable

yeah its a good place, my mates dad is the owner and hes fine with us doing an event there for free, we were ment to do one last month but never got round to it so he still owes me a free event there ;)


if people are happy to travel to oxfordshire ( tetsworth in south ox to be precise) then that venue is a dead cert. its got plenty of parking and tree cover and would be an ideal size for a pv gathering, could easily hold 500 people.

if you guys want then ill let him know if it helps with any planning.

wed also started applying for a TENS and they were happy with what we proposed so that wouldnt be a problem.

Mate have a word please, Sounds like a wicked place to hold a party!

Also we'll work out a transport plan for those without motors.

I'll have a look at major public travel routes so those travelling from afar can meet at a predetermined place and see of we can hire a minibus to ferry people to and from the actual event (at certain times that is)

:wink:

[joshd96320]

one important thing is, when

[p0ly]

i could walk to tetsworth in an hour =D =D =D

Just have to make a rule though that if anyone misbehaves and gets warned more than three times then out they go.

and i was gonna abduct a naked midget for your benefit cliffy. dammit.

well were 5 mins from junction 7 on the m40, theres a services there. also were about 15 mins from haddenham train station from which you can easily get to london and that.


ill get in touch with the farmer tommorrow if possible.

and josh, i know he charged the ARCANE lot, but not much.

we wont have to pay, we lend him stuff to beef up his mobile disco that he does on the side so hes pretty safe about it, and his sons a raver so he knows exactly what were all about :wink:

[p0ly]

if you are from london you can get the train from marylebone to aylesbury, then you are pretty much there.

well i suppose weve probably missed the window of good weather this year, unless people are up for a cold one...

but perhaps late spring next year? i dunno really, when ever poeople on here can all make it. whereever it is, alot of people are gonna have to travel,

perhaps a vote would help??

the good thing is, the sooner its sorted, the longer people have to prepare. and the more youll look foward to it when it happens!

Ok so you don't like cannabis. HOWEVER from my experience of the rave scene especially the free party scene this is an issue that affects many many people. (Just like legalisation of Extasy). Legalisation of cannabis would in fact help many many people from medical users to party people. LCA is a very worthy cause and very relevant to this forum/group of people. There is also the issue to raising consciousness. Listen crews/people action is needed on this, so if not for this particular event, please think hard about getting benefit events together for this cause which affects many of us in a very direct and serious way. Heads out of sand please. Anyone can get busted then its becomes very real in a potentially horrible way. I've put a lot of effcort into campaigning for other people, then I kinda thought maybe I should put some efort into helping myself out!

You peeps need to know about the Levicticus Collective anyway.

Why not do a joint (haha) benefit? I would suggest a cause that doen not have much money that the dosh would really make a difference, i.e. not a mainstream type charity. Heres a blody good cause for example:

Official Web Site of the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee (http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/index1.htm)

Heres another:

Home | Free Tibet (http://www.freetibet.org/)

I agree that limiting the supply of alcohol is sound...a shity drug in the rave context, again from long experience.

As for sounds, how about the (Cris/arron etc) Liberator crew - old school RTS (Reclaim the Streets)/anarchist crew - sound vibes....but a bit much for 12 hours.

Personally I'd like to see happy hardcore for the start of the evening, going into hardcore grinding techno, and then mellowing to good pys trance, with some dubstep thrown in!

All the best,

Blessings

[Southcaver]

Sounds like we should be able to sort this out no problem.
Roll on (next) summer!

if people are seriously considering doing this those who want to help out with specific skills should be highlighted, and maybe a committee appointed so it is done in an organised mannor? as I guess its gonna need real commitment from a core set of people to get it up and running
as if its gonna be a ten's (? is that right) people with previous experience and health and saftey knowlegde etc would be highly valued, and you guys on the techie side etc

oh, how exciting :bounce_g::bounce_g:
