The barbecue site has been provisionally booked, any donations towards the £75 fee will be gladly received on the day. I would like to draw everybodies attention to the conditions of booking the barbecue site, which i expect to be respected:
CONDITIONS
a. To ensure a safe event you, as the Organiser, will be expected to take an active part in the event and will be entirely responsible for the control of the fire, overall supervision of the proceedings, safety and for the supply of the charcoal.
b. The forest is a working environment. You will ensure that warning signs and instructions from Commission staff are heeded, that areas where work is in progress are avoided and that the participants are kept together. You will be responsible for ensuring that at least one supervisor of the event has a basic knowledge of first aid and that in case of an accident, you or some other person designated by you, will be on hand to give any information about special requirements.
c. The Permit Holder will pay compensation or make good to the Forest District Manager's satisfaction all damage to Forestry Commission property caused by those participating in the event. The Permit Holder will clear all equipment and litter brought onto Forestry Commission land by the Permit Holder and event participants, to the satisfaction of the Forest District Manager.
* The site must be left clean and tidy to the satisfaction of the Forest District Manager by 10.00am. On the morning immediately following the barbecue. All litter must be taken home. Special care must be taken not to break glass or leave any on the Forest.
d. The Permit Holder will ensure that adequate and proper arrangements are made to the satisfaction of the Forest District Manager to protect the safety of participants and all others likely to be within the vicinity of any event. The arrangements may include:
* Making provision for medical assistance
* Ensuring that the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the site.
e. The Permit Holder will ensure that the participants comply with the Forestry Commission Byelaws except as expressly authorised by this Permission. A copy of the Byelaws may be obtained from the Forest District Manager. In particular the Permit Holder will ensure:
* No natural vegetation to be taken from the Forest for burning on the fire
* the barrier must be replaced in the closed position on leaving the site
* reasonable care is taken to prevent disturbance to wild fauna and flora and to agricultural livestock
* compliance with any instructions issued by the Forest District Manager or his authorised representatives or given verbally. You may be required to extinguish the fire if conditions are dangerous
* no loud or amplified music is permitted on the forest. Lighting generators or other powered equipment are not allowed unless prior permission has been given.
I'm confident that you lot are all decent enough that i don't need to point out the above, however now it's there in black and white so there can be no whinging when somebody gets booted for being a lady garden.
