MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT PRESIDENT – TOM CLEMENTS Hello there, normally I would say “Happy New Year”, but having such a bad 2020 and 2021 probably only recovering in the summer I’m not sure if at this stage members would agree, but I am optimistic that from end of May beginning of June we should get our industry back up and running.

Before I mention the dreaded Covid-19, I just want to say that this year’s “Year Book” is now only available on line, we at NOEA HQ felt that producing it in print wasn’t in keeping with our sustainability programme and it is the correct thing to do, it will mean though that as the year progresses we can keep the “Year Book” updated and relevant to what is happening in the industry, which is better for our members, the industry and the environment.

I probably looked like the ‘cat that licked the cream’ in Bath in November 2019 when I was elected your president, it was a tremendous honour and following on from our convention we had the biggest and I think best awards dinner ever. Three short months later we had been attacked by Covid-19 and everyone’s and our whole industry changed over night, if only I could of seen that!

On 23rd March 2020, the Prime Minister made the announcement that would change everyone’s life and turn the country upside down. Sadly as I write this in January 2021 we are still in lock down and the events industry has had no business since that fateful day in March 2020.

Yes there have been some who have organised drive in movies, drive in concerts and a few other type events, but in reality events cannot happen when we have to social distance. Until the social distancing is lifted we wont get our industry going again.

Sadly the caseation of all events has not only caused mass redundancies it sadly has resulted in the demise of some well known companies and brands within the industry, my heart felt sorry that they didn’t manage to survive and many thanks for all the years of support and wish them all the best in the future, they will be a loss to us all.

I don’t really want to dwell to much on how the pandemic has effected the industry we all know what it has done, but myself and our Chief Executive, Susan Tanner have been working virtually and full time on behalf of our members, Susan and I sit on a number of industry representative boards, with the view to getting the industry up and running again and feeding back into governments what funding is required for the industry, so 8

as we can move forward and work our way out of the pandemic and once again build the industry in the leader it was 12 months ago.

It has been tough, “Zoom” meeting after another, civil servants and in some instances other associations just going round in circles failing to understand what the industry is, what is required to get going and why finance by way of grants is required to keep us solvent.

They weren’t aware that most of our events happened between May & September with a Christmas season as well, they weren’t aware that to say organise an event in June, the planning starts in October or November the year before, they didn’t know how much infrastructure we use, they didn’t know that we can be in a field building and marking out 6 weeks before the event, in short they honestly thought we turned up a week before an event placed the infrastructure and opened gates, so we have had to educate them which has been hard as we were never really on their radar.

We have managed to get our points across and whilst the government has provided furlough and the self employed scheme, we have managed to get extra funding through the Arts Council and Event Scotland, which a number of members have been successful, which hopefully has kept them solvent, we as an industry certainly haven’t had as much offered as the hospitality industry, but Susan and myself will keep working away to hopefully bring more funding that can benefit members.

Some of you might remember that James Heapy was our champion in parliament as the chairman of the All Party Parliament Group on Events (APPG), James was promoted after last years election to Defence Minister and sadly the position has remained empty for a year when we really needed someone to champion our industry. Susan went to work on this and had James Heapy source a likely (and willing candidate) who whilst might not be from an event background certainly would take our causes. The Right Honourable Theresa Villiers MP has agreed to Chair the APPG with the first meeting this month, which is great news, now we can get our needs and requirements championed in parliament.

We have been looking at the industry and what we think is required to keep us all going as we embark into the world of events again, these are being fact checked as I write so look out for press releases and emails highlighting what we need the government to do the sustain the industry as we ‘’Build Back Better’ It has been a very hard 9 months, I personally think we have 3 or 4 months more, hopefully the vaccine will have

NATIONAL OUTDOOR EVENTS ASSOCIATION 2021 YEARBOOK

been issued certainly to enough to relax sanctions, the government is starting to become vocal about things starting to get back from Easter, so fingers crossed the end of May bank holiday and onward away we go...

As I have said it has been a bad, bad year, but I must thank wholeheartedly Susan Tanner for another year of sterling service to the Association, certainly without her I don’t think we would of survived, certainly the help and assistance provided to me has been as always invaluable and I thank her for her dedication and commitment. I must also thank Alistair Turner of Eight PR who as our PR guru has assisted greatly In getting our message out and noticed, keeping NOEA in the frontline supporting our members. Finally I wish to thank all members who have been so supportive to us as an association, myself and Susan, we greatly appreciate your kind comments and good wishes as we navigate through these murky waters!

it informative and productive so many thanks to everyone involved.

WE also held our AGM virtually which was also very popular, AGM by definition are sometimes pretty boring with having to dot “T’s” and cross “I’s” but this year it seemed to be warm and not the usual stayed affair (maybe not all being in the one room was a help?) but more importantly the election of Council members brough lost of new fresh faces onto Council and I think for the first time in a few years we now have a full compliment.

I certainly look forward to working with them and our members in moving NOEA forward and aligning us as the leading events association in the UK.

Hopefully as we move into the second half of 2021, this start to happen and we can go and work again, hopefully I will meet some of you in a field once more!

Moving on in November we held our first ever virtual Stay safe, convention, over 3 days in one week which was over subscribed and from the feedback every attendee found Tom Clements, President

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENTS VICE PRESIDENTS – CRAIG MATHIE AND IAN TAYLOR As Managing Director of the multi-award-winning Bournemouth 7s Festival, I am responsible for an incredible team who deliver an amazing festival which, year on year, punches above its weight.

I am extremely proud to have been elected Vice President of the National Outdoor Events Association, an organisation which I believe will play a fundamental role in the continued recovery and growth of the outdoor events sector.

An absolute events-geek, I joined the Bournemouth 7s team as its most junior member in 2011 before progressing through the ranks and was appointed MD in October 2016, aged 29.

I am now a regular contributor to industry press, campaigns and a judge for some of the UK’s highest profile event awards. Concurrently I am a Trustee of a sporting charity, The Steve Bernard Foundation and Ambassador for mental health charity, Dorset Mind and Vice Chair of the Destination Management Board for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Craig Mathie, Vice President

Well what a year that was; I know full well how hard this year has been for many of our members, even those who sit on our council have had to revolutionise their business or activities to fit the changing climate, and some have sadly had to move away into other sectors, we hope not forever.

I write this as we reach the first anniversary of lockdown in the UK, and it’s an incredibly poignant moment as we pause to reflect on the lost lives of those sadly no longer with us. The light at the end of the tunnel is fast approaching, with vaccination rollout continuing apace and more positive murmurings around the future of live events. I owe a massive debt of thanks to my colleagues, Tom, Craig and Susan for their unfaltering drive to keep NOEA at the forefront of the government’s mindset, pushing for support and striving for all that is right for our members in the outdoor events sector.

It has been incredibly tough, and it may not yet get easier rapidly, but I am confident of the fact that things will come right, and the time will come again for our talented members to prove exactly why the UK Events industry is held in such high regard the world over. Please keep safe. I cannot wait to see you all in a muddy field soon.

Take care.

NOEA – DIVERSITY AND RESPECT Whilst 2020 was a challenging year for the events industry it also gave us the opportunity to assess how we, as an industry, function and what we can do to improve.

Events across the world and the Black Lives Matter movement has made us all look inwards and consider how we might hold onto conditioned racist and misogynistic beliefs no matter how anti-racist and feminist we believed ourselves to be.

At NOEA we have started working to address the inherent lack of diversity in the industry. We have appointed a dedicated council member to work on Diversity and Equality, part of this role has been to work with the BVEP working group on Diversity, Equality and Inclusion to address issues across the entire events industry, not just outdoor events.

To do this properly we need to be honest with ourselves.

The events industry has grown exponentially over the past 30 years and yet we are still operating on many of the old systems we started out with.

Recruitment is often word of mouth with little formal processes in place. We seldom have systems in place for supporting staff who are overworked and exhausted.

We pay poorly for the hours worked and we get away with this by creating day rates for days that can be twice the standard working day. We rarely provide any statutory benefits meaning that many find it difficult to have a career break to have children, and of course, we cannot ever afford to take a day off sick!

With all this in mind is it a wonder that we struggle to be diverse? Yes, there are many upsides to our industry but

Big Top – Bournemouth 7s

we may miss some amazingly talented young people if we do not address these issues.

The BVEP research highlighted how we struggle to recruit young people from BAME backgrounds and we need help to work on how we improve this.

One of the problems is the public perception of the industry, the majority of speaking panels are dominated by older white men despite the fact that women make up a significant percentage of the workforce. The NOEA council sadly reflects the current status quo - only two women out of twelve council members and we are all white.

We launched the RESPECT campaign in 2019 in conjunction with the Equalities and Human Rights Commission to reduce sexual harassment in the hospitality industry. The plan was to test run it in 2020 and then to widen the reach to cover all harassment.

We are still developing it and we urge all members to sign up for when we can re-open. Harassment in all forms is unacceptable and NOEA wants to support our members to stamp this out.

We need to start showing that the industry can and will represent everyone.

We appeal to you if you are a woman and/or a person of colour to consider applying for council and in the meantime, if you are interested in helping with the campaign to increase representation for everyone at all levels please get in touch. respect@noea.co.uk

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER – SUSAN TANNER NOEA has never been stretched as it was this year. I would like to thank our members, our council, our Future Sponsors and everyone else connected with NOEA for supporting us in getting the right messages, to the right people, as quickly as possible special thanks to Al Turner from 8PR who has supported and gone beyond his remit and is part of the NOEA team. And thank you the members for staying with us. We have of course lost members but really appreciate those of you who have stuck with us in these hard times. I have heard so many sad sad stories of members who have for many many years worked in this industry and are now coming out of this industry and we will be the poorer for losing their skills.

We have been instrumental in the re-creation of the APPG by getting James Heappey involved who suggested and approached Teressa Villiers who was approached and has agreed to be Chair.

We have been regularly asked – and provided – statistics and details of the damage our industry has endured and provided examples of it many surveys and requests have been sent out and I thank everyone for replying and engaging with me.

We have supported proactive and intelligent campaigns and lobbying with ~ WemakeEvents ~ and One Industry One Voice But, we have to be honest.

The communication has been just that, communication.

We have regular dialogue with government; across departments DCMS and BEIS. We are part of industry wide lobbying groups; EIF, and I sit as a director for the Purple guide other groups EIB, BVEP etc.

I sit on the DCMS Events & Entertainment Task Force which was an interesting journey into the way DCMS views our industry and the announcements.

EIF Guidance – push to get events gong in some way and many contributed to the guidance which isn’t perfect at all but it allowed outdoor events to open in July without a number cap. Since then it had been other issues that have thwarted events opening or continuing.

We all know about the Sothnapton boat show and it was NOEA that put forward Philp Day to give legal advice for this to EIF which then went to a barrister. The results were shared with members.

I also sit on Outdoor Events and Festivals Sub group – where additional guidance has been developed.

This is now expanding and getting into more granular detail as we look not various areas to see how events can work. However large mass events are the ones that Govnmentt and PHE are very much against as super spreaders so very difficult . Some measures can be in place but individuals may need to be doing their own risk assessments.

12

We have been frustrated by the lack of response or limited action. We have been listened to and ignored.

Action has been slow, ineffectual and misguided Still trying to get DCMS to understand the industry .Where as pubs can open quickly the events industry cannot and needs a longer lead in time and is time critical. Very aware that the Culture Fund some members have had grants but many more did not and the supply chain was meant to be specifically included and was not. We are doing research on the grants and will be going back with questions.

Also have asked DCMS and the treasury for a fund equivalent to the Culture fund for the events sector.

The immediate challenge is insurance and Public Health Directors. Working with EIF and DCMS to get an understanding to Public Health Directors in LAs on how events work and that is now the challenge.

Its only in the heat of battle when you realise how far the industry has to go in its relationship and understanding by government.

NOEA SCOTLAND VICE CHAIRMAN – JONATHAN REID Like the rest of us, I am glad to see the back of 2020. Even a year ago, none of us and any idea what we as an industry were about to face but it is such a relief to see some light at the end of the long and difficult Covid tunnel.

Albeit still some way off, with 3 vaccines now approved I hope everyone shares the green shoots of optimism that I am feeling as we look towards getting some start back to what we live for?

For my part, I continue to be hugely impressed and proud of all the people in our sector that I have been speaking to in the last year – people looking out for each other, sharing information and networking like never before and a real sense of community.

I have had my own share of upheaval this last year so I fully appreciate what so many of us have been through and I have no doubt once we are all unleashed and the party is allowed to start, it will be one hell of a party – whether that be elite or grassroots sport, concerts and festivals, performing arts, country pursuits and all of the rest of the creative and wonderful sectors that we encompass – once permitted, I am sure the demand for all of our services will be considerable!

Bring it on I hear you say? Absolutely…….

In the meantime, please stay as resilient as ever and I look forward to seeing us all in a field or stadium soon.

COUNCIL MEMBERS 2020/2021 ABOUT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IAN BAIRD founded Whiskey Bravo Productions in Brighton in 2016 having worked in the outdoor events and theatrical industries for over a decade. Specialising in medium scale music-based events Ian has constantly strived for better relationships with local authorities and transparency in the planning and licensing processes. In joining the NOEA Council Ian is very keen to look at how the association can appeal more widely to small and independent operators and help in creating a secure events ecosystem that cares for all staff effectively. Especially in the post-COVID era there is a real opportunity to rebuild the industry in a better shape that it was left in early 2020.

CRIS CICIRELLO – Co-lead of Wasserman’s Experiential Division within EMEA, and a Senior Vice President within the company. I work as part of the wider marketing team, serving Brands and Properties (Rights Holders) across campaigns and activations. I have worked in around 50 countries over the last 23 years and really enjoyed working within different cultures. Our industry and the event specialism is always facing challenges and right now is no different. We have been members of NOEA for over ten years and are always keen to play a proactive role, improving our environment and ways of working, across areas such as safety, CSR and sustainability. I asked to join the NOEA council in order to try and help our industry as it moves towards the future and the new challenges it faces.

ANDREW MCQUILLAN – Managing Director, The Traffic management Company, Crowded Space Drones, CSD Productions. In my capacity of owning a drone & video production company, I am keen to support NOEA promotional activities in this area (as we have supported the annual conference) and also reactive video content for social media etc to help NOEA exploit new trends & topics. I also would like to support NOEA in policy development areas, especially linked to my areas where I believe I am competent: Drones Health & Safety Crowd Management Traffic Management I am also happy to help support NOEA exhibition attendance, such as the Event Production Show.

SARA PACEY – Events Development Manager, North Somerset Council. With almost 20 years in the Industry, Sara’s career started working on the co-ordination of a large scale, international outdoor event. Currently, as the Events Development Manager for a Local Authority working on major event curation & delivery, strategic development and Placemaking initiatives, she has had the privilege to work with a wide range of organisers from Air Festivals and Motorsports to Hot Air Ballooning and Marathons. Having volunteered on NOEA events for the past several years, she has seen the great work the association does, and is now looking forward to working with the Committee to support and engage the wider industry.

ALYSHA SARGENT – Event Director, Barnstorm Global Ltd. Having primarily worked at historic properties throughout my career, I am aware of how important events are within them. I am keen to focus on these events and the development of them, in particular during the current situation.

And how heritage attractions can diversify and continue to hold events to ensure audience engagement. I’m delighted to have been re-elected for another two years on the NOEA General Council. NOEA has worked tireless throughout the current situation we are all facing within our industry. It has kept members fully updated with the changing landscape and has been vocal at government level on the issues our industry and its people are facing. I am proud to be part of NOEA and look forward to continuing to support it.

ROB WALLEY – Controlled Events Ltd. I am delighted to join the NOEA Council in order to support members and the industry in these unprecedented times for the events sector. Since 2016 I have supported panel support to sessions during the NOEA conference, promoted membership opportunities to potential members and students in the events sector. NOEA’s organisation and the passion during the response to coronavirus has inspired me to want to contribute directly to the organisation and support to members in the coming year.There is no more relevant time to be supporting colleagues as organisers, suppliers and authorities plan for a challenging 2021.

THE EVENTS INDUSTRY FORUM – EIF FAR MORE THAN A TALKING SHOP The Events Industry Forum is made up of 29 associations all of whom have direct connections into the outdoor events industry, many of whom are also members of NOEA. See EIF website www.eventsindustryforum.co.uk Under normal circumstances the Forum come together for face to face meetings two or three times a year. However, throughout this Covid crisis the Forum has met online and its board of directors, who also look after The Purple Guide, have met to work behind the scenes to advise, inform and support members of our industry throughout this most difficult year.

The Events Industry Forum is also responsible for the writing and updating of The Purple Guide and The Purple Guide Lite (taken over from Health and Safety Executive many years ago). We would welcome amendments, additions, and general entries for The Purple Guide at any time in order to keep it completely up to date and of best value to event organisers throughout the UK.

EIF has been in close consultation with DCMS, Her Majesty’s Treasury Department and the Home Office throughout the Covid crisis where chairman and secretary have been fighting the corner for grants, funding, loans, and general recognition of our industry. We have also been responsible for the writing of Covid-Safe Guidance and worked closely with festival organisers on the Festival Covid-Safe Supplement. Our members have also written supplements for agricultural shows.

A LAWYER WRITES HEALTH WARNING (and it’s not really (but it is) a Covid 19 one) – ANYTHING IN THIS ARTICLE THAT REFERS TO “THE LEGAL POSITION” WILL PROBABLY BE WRONG BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS (which is why this contains no legal advice whatsoever!)

Those of us who are getting long in the tooth will remember February 2005. The “transition period” (yes, we had one back then as well) was about to start and we were all waiting with baited breath for the detailed regulations, forms etc.

They arrived all at once and then panic set in – we “only” had 6 months to do countless applications and by the end of it, nervous breakdowns were the order of the day.

How now I look back and wonder what all the fuss was about? Here we are (as I write) at the tail end of 2020 and never has there been such a number of Acts, Regulations, guidance and heaven alone knows what else, all affecting the licensed trade and events, particularly those staged outdoors. To make matters worse, what applies in the four nations of the (once) United Kingdom is different and even within those nations, what you could do in one place you couldn’t do in another (I recall saying in one Zoom Webinar – “and if you’re in Wales, forget it, you can’t do anything”) and to cap it all, everything changes at the drop of a hat (and will no doubt continue to do so). With each incarnation of new regulations, they got longer (the last one was 70 pages long and I bet the next will be even more voluminous).

I am of course one of the lucky ones – no furlough, not (and please let these not be famous last words)

Glastonbury Pit – Specialized Security

contracted the virus, only had to self-isolate once, managed to work from home throughout (but I did have to build a summer house for my wife to work in as I had appropriated her “home office”), instructions have continued (I am amazed at how many people thought it was a good time to invest in a new restaurant or bar) and of course Zoom, Teams and Skype etc (other video conferencing facilities are available).

Some of the clouds have had silver linings – virtually no commuting and virtual hearings, all from the comfort of our newest branch office called “my home”. In that sense, long might things continue – why spend hours travelling to some God-forsaken place like (redacted by editor) to spend hours waiting in some draughty corridor to “attend” a licensing hearing when the tech makes all of that unnecessary and as long as I put on a shirt, tie and pour the wine into a coffee mug, life can be that much more civilised and comfortable?

Seriously though, my heart goes out to all my clients, indeed friends, in the industry who have been through so much this last year. That said, the overwhelming feeling at the NOEA 2020 virtual convention was one of positivity, creative thinking and “we won’t let this beat us” (and that was before the vaccines were announced).

Back in 2005, we didn’t let the challenge beat us and we got everyone licensed (just!); with any luck at all, the same spirit will be alive and kicking in 2021 and outdoor events will be back with a vengeance and bigger and better than ever before. I look forward to seeing you there (and not courtesy of Zoom).

NOEA signs BVEP Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Everyone may want to look back on 2020 as a year to forget. It is however, also one to remember; a year where collaboration created strength and resilience. NOEA is a great example of how outdoor event businesses and people came together to do their part in fighting the pandemic. NOEA also demonstrated their part in the wider UK events community, taking an active part in their membership of the Business Visits & Events Partnership (BVEP). BVEP is the umbrella organisation representing leading trade and professional organisations, government agencies and other significant influencers in the business visits and events sector. BVEP’s vision is to support sustainable growth for the United Kingdom’s Events Industry.

commits to advancing access, diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing of all people, as priorities in supporting sustainable growth across the UK Events Industry.

As well as safeguarding the industry and fighting to establish guidance and support through these difficult times, NOEA have been instrumental in a number of initiatives that will support building back responsibly when we are able to.

Upholding the Principles: Accountability | Allyship | Authenticity | Empowerment Integrity | Opportunity | Responsibility

DEI Vision: an events industry where every person feels welcomed, empowered, advanced and valued.

DEI Aim: to drive for change within the UK events industry to ensure that human differences are valued and recognised.

Our Values: Accessibility | Diversity | Equity | Inclusion | Justice | Wellbeing

This shared Commitment will only be realised by celebrating achievements and taking appropriate action to ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion. This will be steered by the BVEP DEI Task Force which will come together to share insights and propose collective interventions in 2021. NOEA will be playing their part in this and encourages members to share understandings and activities that help to achieve the DEI aim and vision.

BVEP established a Skills & Talent Working Group in 2020 that aims to foster the development and professionalisation of those working in events. One of the first activities undertaken was to begin the co-ordination of diversity and inclusion policies and practices that promote equity in the events industry. The pandemic and action by groups such as Black Lives Matter, have highlighted that inequalities are exacerbated during such NOEA has already highlighted important initiatives such challenging times. as including Welfare in The Purple Guide, Tiger Tea Kids and Safe Gigs for Women.

One of the first actions agreed upon was to create an industry-wide Commitment to Diversity, Equity Dr Caroline Jackson, BVEP Vice Chair and and Inclusion.

BUSINESS VISITS & EVENTS PARTNERSHIP – BVEP future – the trick will be sustaining it as work starts to percolate back over the next 6 months.

TESTING TIMES Tempting as it is to simply slam the door on 2020, demand a re-boot and try to struggle on into 2021, everyone working in the UK event industry knows that we are facing a massive and fundamental change to the way that we work and live our lives.

We are now helpless spectators in a dreadful race between vaccination and mutation, as the variant strain of Coronavirus identified at the close of this truly dreadful year locked down vast swathes of the country and ripped up Christmas plans across the land. What a shambles.

Yet because we are an industry teeming with creative problem solvers there are already some indications of where we need to focus our energies and passion in order to re-build and re-connect the shattered UK event industry. These include sustaining the industry over the next 6 months, building confidence by ensuring we come up with deliverable solutions on issues such as rapid testing, getting both LAs and PHE (or SAGE) onside and developing insurance solutions that provide effective cover for a wide range of events.

It has been humbling to see the support and solidarity being provided from people across the UK event industry – but the voluntary donation of their time and expertise will hit the demands of getting back to business sooner rather than later, so the on-going role of OIOV and the many associations involved in supporting and championing our world will need to be debated and agreed so that the future tactical and strategic needs of our industry are met. Maintaining dialogue with government will of course be critical and the benefits of having a single voice made loud by the crowd behind it has been an important feature which I personally think needs to be sustained in some form or other. 2021 will be a challenging year – but working together I’m confident that we can meet that challenge.

Simon Hughes, Chair BVEP

There is also the longer term impact of Covid 19 on the mental health and well being of so many people that have seen their livelihoods destroyed through no fault of their own. The help and support that the government have provided on an unheard of scale to try and support as many businesses as possible is of course very welcome – but particularly in the event industry there have been many examples of that help not being available in time to save jobs and sustain well established and experienced event businesses.

We are already seeing evidence of contractors and suppliers that have ceased trading and the loss of specialist suppliers to the industry is one of the factors that we will need to take into account as we re-group to move forward. One Industry One Voice (OIOV), the coalition of events industry campaigns, associations and businesses that have come together to ensure strong alignment and more effective communication in fighting for awareness and financial support for the whole industry provides an invaluable resource for the CREATE / COLLABORATE / CONTROL

WORKING WITH FREELANCERS DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES? When I talk to the majority of my clients the subject of Freelancers is regularly a topic for discussion. The reason for this is within the Audio Visual and Events Industry they are commonly used as a source of labour and understanding your responsibility towards them is key.

Many clients believe that they fall into the same category as a Bona Fide Sub-Contractor and therefore they have little responsibility towards them.

There is a big difference between taxation law and employment law and the following article will help you determine the difference between the two.

regarded as your employee on that day and having their own insurance may not make a difference.

Why does it matter?

Because of their temporary employee status, you will have the same duty of care towards him as you would towards your own employees. Your Health & Safety Policy and Risk Assessments therefore need to take this into consideration. If a Freelancer is injured on site, they will usually have a claim against your Employer’s Liability Insurance and therefore their wages need to be declared to your insurer on the same basis as employees. If they have not been correctly disclosed, it could invalidate your insurance.

It’s okay they have their own insurance

SailGP is a global sailing series, with events in Bermuda and Europe confirmed for next year.

Whilst there is no replacement for faceto-face management of incidents and engagement with staff and stakeholders, remote Event Control will certainly enable at least part of the function to operate off site.

It is fair to say that 2020 has been pretty abysmal for the events sector.

Our customers were incredibly supportive with 80% retaining their tickets for 2021 and helped keep our morale up with their memories of and kind words.

I sit here today, recently and proudly elected as Vice President of NOEA but fearful for what our beloved industry may look like when we get to the end of 2021.

One year without events has been inconceivably difficult to navigate but, I think we all agree, a second year would be a bridge too far for almost all of us.

My colleagues went above and beyond to work through difficult situations in a way that I knew they would. Our incredible team put their personal circumstances to one side as the festival came first – something I will always appreciate.

How, then is it not dread that fills my days? Why is my overwhelming feeling one of positivity, optimism and hope?

In short, it’s because of you. It is because of everyone that cares enough about the events industry to read our yearbook. It is because of everyone that has given their time to attend, or even host, online events, webinars, meetings or help sessions.

In these incredibly challenging and ‘unprecedented’ times – the events industry has shown its mettle. From building the Nightingale hospitals at the start of the pandemic to the unbelievable sense of unity and collaboration that has grown over the intervening months; I have been genuinely and sincerely blown away by the industry which I am proud to work in.

And finally, Roger and Fleur who founded and still own our small independent business ignored the personal financial risk to keep our team employed through the most uncertain of times. Owning a festival is a risky business but none of us ever really saw this on the horizon so their support through this time has been incredibly appreciated.

As I sit here now, I am so enthusiastic about our return in 2021. I cannot wait to run our event and then spend a summer attending so many others. The industry has been battered but we are still standing and we will come back stronger.

NOEA will be there with you, every step of the way.

Speaking specifically about the event which I run, Bournemouth 7s Festival, I could not have hoped for a more positive response to a crisis. We hold the unenviable accolade of being one of the only events in the UK to cancel twice in 2020.

The postponement, and then cancellation, processes were an absolute rollercoaster of emotions; not just for me but for our entire team who rely on the festival for their livelihoods. On each occasion, we spoke openly and clearly with our suppliers, traders, local authority partners and staff to set out our position and rationale.

MEMBERS NEWS WE ARE FABULOSO! – THE BRIGHTON & HOVE PRIDE DIGITAL FESTIVAL After the devastating decision to postpone this year’s celebrations due to COVID-19, rather than just take a year off, Brighton & Hove Pride created a spectacular online festival to mark its 30 years of campaigning, protest and celebration and help raise essential funds for our LGBTQ+ community groups.

In 2019 some 400,000 people attended events over the Brighton & Hove Pride weekend and for many marginalised communities it is the only time they feel able to come together and celebrate under the rainbow banner of diversity and inclusion. The organisers of the UKs biggest Pride festival were determined that those most in need of contact and support during these difficult times were not left wanting and so the seeds for an online Pride were planted in March 2020.

With an extensive schedule of events centred around the original Pride weekend of 1st–2nd August 2020, the production was tied together by live presenters from a purpose built studio in Brighton and featured performers and highlights that were already planned for the real FABULOSO – Pride In The Park festival as well as archive footage of iconic acts from past years.

Sponsors came on board to support the LGBTQ+ event which enabled musicians, singers, speakers, activists, drag artists and performers of all kinds to bring the flavours of all the diverse areas of the Park Festival to TV, computer and mobile phone screens across the globe.

We Are Fabuloso! was a resounding success with more than 14 hours of content streamed live from the studio in Brighton and performances from over 100 artists including Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Jess Glynne, Billy Porter, Todrick Hall and Carly Rae Jepsen, as well as supporting messages from artists that were due to play the Pride festival in Preston Park this year including the Pussy Cat Dolls and Bananarama.

Reaching way beyond the city boundary and UK borders, the first Brighton & Hove Pride Digital Festival had a truly global reach and received messages from viewers in Argentina, Columbia, USA and Asia as well as from across Europe. The entertaining, provocative and informative content truly reflecting the essence of the Pride movement globally, and the unique atmosphere of Brighton Pride.

We Are FABULOSO! was also a fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow fund, local charities and community groups, and by the end of the weekend donations were over £13,000 and anyone watching on demand later could also contribute to increase that amount up. #WeStandTogether Brighton-Pride.org

In partnership with YouTube, the show was livestreamed on the Brighton Pride website and other platforms and was free to view so viewers across the world were able to tune in from the comfort of their homes and also with family and friends.

Viewers were also encouraged to make a donation so Brighton & Hove Pride could continue its essential fundraising for community organisations that provide so much support throughout the year.

ROBE LIGHTING – PEACHY PLAYHOUSE PEACHY PLAYHOUSE SUMMER SEASON IS HUGE SUCCESS

– during the coronavirus pandemic, closed its summer season at Loseley Park, Guildford, Surrey, UK on a high note.

Peachy Playhouse, a new socially distanced entertainment concept developed to deliver safe live performances – comedy, music, children’s shows, etc

That didn’t just include a spirit-rousing performance and some superlative, funk, soul, dance and hi-hop from the Ambassadors Band, the ground-breaking season, a big

30

leap of faith and some serious planning and investment

by Philip French from Peachy Productions, was a resounding success.

Philip and his team supplied 95% of the technical production infrastructure for the six-week period including staging, lighting, video, and audio. The Playhouse show schedule ran for two 2-week sessions with a two-week break in-between, working alongside some carefully selected locally-based partners to provide the other elements including catering, generators, marquees, and toilets.

Robe moving lights were front and centre of the production rig – with 8 x Pointes and 12 x LEDBeam 150s prominent on the rig, pulled from Peachy Productions’ stock. When the company initially started and was investing in equipment, explained Philip, they chose a few key brands in all departments, and for moving lights, that was Robe.

“They are robust – definitely an asset in the English summer known for its erratic weather – great value for money, they have a good colour mix and the physical movement is very smooth,” he stated.

“They also provide a lot of power and punch for the size.”

Size was important in the Peachy Playhouse context. As a flexible space for both cinema and live entertainment, they needed fixtures that blended in with the stage, kept the integrity of the sightlines … AND had a decent impact.

Philip feels that LEDBeam 150s are “perfect” with the zoom and focus which makes them a “very flexible light.”

The same attributes – power and small size – of the Pointes assisted in throwing the energy coming off the stage right into the audience standing by their cars in the now-famous Peachy picket-fenced bays, getting that all-important connection between performers and audience!

With Pointes rigged overhead and upstage sides and LEDBeam 150s on the front bars above the cantilever of the stage and on the deck in the downstage corners for low-level cross lighting, Peachy’s main lighting designer Jared Greenall had plenty of opportunities to get creative with lighting the assortment of artists.

For a multi-purpose scenario like this – from a single stand-up comedian on stage to covering the animated 10-piece line-up of the Ambassadors band who played four times over the period – these Robe fixtures were an ideal choice. They were also good for creating a general ambience for movie nights.

estate, Peachy Playhouse was inaugurated to deliver some fantastic entertainment and be a holistic morale booster in a green, tranquil setting for those emerging from lockdown isolation, an aftermath devoid of so many social experiences that were taken for granted pre Covid-19!

The site was adapted over the time as well with a socially distanced eating area added, complete with atmospheric festoon lighting, and a bar appeared for the second run of shows.

The event gave Philip a chance to bring back some of Peachy’s full-time staff from furlough and to employ some of their regular freelancers in doing what they loved best as well giving the array of artists, many of whom had not performed live since March, a chance to tread the boards once more!

“There is an energy and an engagement between performers and guests in live entertainment that – for all the great streaming events happening – you simply can get from being behind a computer screen,” says Phil.

There’s been a steep learning curve and numerous challenges involved in running this first season of Peachy Playhouse. Dealing with all the new Covid-related rules and regulations and health and safety related practices has topped the list, and the second challenge was bringing people to the space.

“Having been in lockdown for some months we discovered that people were not putting as much emphasis on names on the bill, but more on the ‘overall experience’, which we set out to make as fun as possible and deliver it safely and enjoyably for all,” he states, adding that seeing everyone’s smiles and hearing their laughter has made all the risk, hard work and sleepless nights “completely worthwhile – there have been so many magic moments!”

The commitment needed to start a new venture like this at an extraordinary moment in time has galvanised Philip, who is brimming with new ideas – and new contacts made – that are promising to bring other enterprises to fruition between now and the end of the year.

So … watch this space!

MEMBERS NEWS SALISBURY CITY COUNCIL – CHRISTMAS TREE TRIAL I doubt that Salisbury would be alone this year in the decimation of its events plans – what a curve ball 2020 has thrown our way! Our carefully choreographed programme of city activity –from food festivals to our Christmas Market and everything in between has been cancelled. Salisbury has had a troublesome few years following on from our Novichok experience and so it felt important to try to find something a little bit special this year to cheer up our residents, help the City create a Christmassy vibe and provide a Coronavirus safe activity for all.

An estimated 4,000 people have taken part in the first 3 weeks.

For more information on the Salisbury Christmas Tree Trail or to purchase it to use next year please visit Salisbury City Council’s website www.salisburycitycouncil.gov.uk

We used these criteria as inspiration to create a magical Christmas Tree Trail to weave our residents and visitors through our historic streets and gardens thus encouraging footfall to all areas of the City and supporting business, spreading out crowds and encouraging daily exercise.

Using a festive theme of the “12 Days of Christmas” 12 trees were erected – some in unusual or quirky formats – lit and beautifully decorated to tell the story as you moved around the trail. Supporting our local economy we used suppliers from our vicinity for all aspects of the event and local business, especially cafes reported an increase in activity during the early evening as a direct result. All of the beautiful decorations were hand drawn, printed, and then carefully cut out. Starting at the iconic Salisbury Cathedral with the very apt “Partridge in a pear tree” the characters built up to a spectacular finale in our Market Square where you were greeted by a stunning 20ft tree that housed every character you had seen in the previous trees plus the 12 Drummers who were marching up into the tree on garlands! Particular attention was taken to modernise the theme with characters representing full ethnic diversity, varying abilities and a range of shapes and sizes. Our calling birds each used a different form of telephone from throughout the decades. A trail map (mobile friendly, downloadable and available in hard copy) and banners told the story as explorers moved to each tree; and for youngsters a letter was hidden amongst the branches which combined to make the name of a festive character.

We have been delighted to receive amazing positive reactions from our city residents and local businesses, with everyone from young families to retired couples taking part. Our social media reach exceeded 11K in one post and all the comments and thanks have been overwhelming. One happy explorer said: “Dear All - I just wanted to say well done to you on the Christmas Tree Trail! It looks lovely and has been a great boost for the city businesses, lovely activity for families to do and a much needed Christmas ‘pick me up’ for everyone” 32

MEMBERS NEWS CABOOSE & CO – WELCOMES APPRENTICE APPOINTMENT Pop-up accommodation specialists, Caboose & Co., has appointed its first full-time apprentice as it prepares for the business’ emergence from lockdown and positively plans for the return of live events and outdoor hospitality in 2021.

George Atkins, 23, joins as an apprentice Business Executive to provide support to the company’s sales and fleet hire ambitions; immersing himself in all elements of the firm from marketing to product development and business strategy. He will also assist operationally with on-site installs of Cabooses’ pop-up accommodation on-site at festivals, sporting events and at glamping sites requiring long-term hire.

The appointment comes after a successful trial period in which Atkins showcased expertise from his International Business Management degree, combined with a passion for live events having previously worked as a runner for Doom Bars’ inaugural London Beach Rugby event, and volunteered as a European Tour and Open Championship Graphic Spotter over five years. Having previously supported Caboose & Co. a few days a week alongside another job, Atkins was equipped with enough operational knowledge to immediately grasp the apprenticeship offer with both hands.

to be a valuable extra pair of hands, enabling us to work on COVID-secure projects like the NHS Staff Village at Reading Hospital and a ten-week deployment for Plimsoll Productions to safely accommodate crew filming a new show during the pandemic. There’s no denying that the last twelve months have been tough for everyone in our sector, but we have every confidence that the events industry will bounce back – when it does, we’ll be poised and ready.”

With extra staff resources and stock available for both hire and purchase opportunities, Caboose & Co. extend a hand at this time and continue to offer support where needed – from NHS key workers and care home temporary facilities, filming production requirements or glamping site owners preparing for 2021.

Tom Critchley, Managing Director www.cabooseandco.com | info@cabooseandco.com

Apprentice George Atkins explains: “I’m grateful to Caboose & Co. for a job role that gifts me professional independence, the opportunity to operate across a multitude of different events from month to month, constantly engaging with new clients whilst learning many different aspects of running a business. It’s a fantastic training ground for me to exercise everything that I’ve learnt so far in a fast-moving and exciting environment.

“These testing times have put the work prospects of many my age on the back burner. I have to pinch myself every now and again that because of this apprenticeship I am able to secure an enjoyable, rewarding job, whilst also bagging a whole new set of skills with a qualification to boot.”

a clear disparity. It ignores the ratio of true case numbers vs mortality rates, giving a skewed perspective.

Continued government inaction will be catastrophic for everyone in the event supply chain, from artists to labels, to grassroots venues and festival sites across the country.

We are in dire need of guidance in the form of smart milestones and the freedom to reach them through the ingenuity, experience, and expertise of industry leaders.

The coronavirus is here to be managed, not managed by. Industry leaders must be given support and a fair opportunity to adapt and provide the typically safe service they always have.

The government must act now, and fast, or we risk losing the entire supply chain of live music and the cultural and financial gains made over the last 40 years. Without effective leadership, major and minor stakeholders inside the industry are stuck on a rudderless ship drifting out to sea.

The consensus is that our fate is out of our hands as we are at the whims of the government who in turn are at the whims of the coronavirus. It chips away at our confidence and capacity to plan for the future, something integral to the function of every level of business.

Planning has been hamstrung by the lack of a clear and workable framework and time is running out with some shows already cancelling. We must wake up to the reality that we need to shout a lot louder, or risk sleepwalking into 2021. Planning next season has started, artist offers are being negotiated and now again will be put on pause.

We must collectively make the decision to survive, by any means necessary, with support coming from outside of the industry, from everyone effected by its erasure.

A look at the ONS data leaves the outlook equally bleak. It is ineffective modelling if the true case number is higher than those tested are and in cities of mass density such as the Capital I find it hard to not believe the cases not presented to be significantly higher.

Rigorous testing reduces the apportioned mortality rate significantly and a failure properly to address this shows

The events ecosystem is already under huge threat as the package of measures taken decimated the 2020 season. The lockdown offered no help of a cure but to temporarily slow the growth of the virus, squashing the sombrero as planned. This process in turn annihilated countless businesses and plunged the country into a recession with the knock on effect forecasted to last until 2024 at least.

Maybe the Prime Minister should look to his predecessors for inspiration. To quote one of his heroes, Winston Churchill, “There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool’s paradise.”

The Prime Minister says his government will put “arms around the whole of the workforce of the UK”. Now, it feels like hands around our neck. The life is being choked from us. We demand clarity. We demand honesty. And we demand it now.

The Association of Festival Organisers (AFO) Beech Croft, Church Street, Matlock Derbyshire DE4 3BY Steve Heap sh@festivalorganisers.org 01629 827014 www.festivalorganisers.org/ AFO started in 1987 when a group of festival organisers came together to exchange views and ideas. It soon became clear that such gatherings would improve the festival industry by simply supporting each other and so the Association was born. Now in 2020/21 we have over 140 festival members and over 100 associate members from the supply industry.

Our job is still the same, to support and work with festival organisers in advising, directing, training and the swapping of ideas and support to continually improve our industry. Clearly in 2020 with Covid our sector was devastated. We intend to bounce back in 2021/22 and put our festivals back up there where they belong. In 2021 our Conference will be an online, streamed event on Saturday 20 February. Then later in the year on 12, 13 and 14 November we will return to our usual dates and our busy AFO Conference. More details will appear on the AFO website.

No matter how small or inconsequential an individual’s problem may seem to you, to them it can be quite abig deal. Having someone who will not only listen to their problem but help in trying to solve it will make all the difference to their event experience. This is where an event welfare service can offer support.The welfare team can offer them help to best resolve their situation. A welfare service may also offer Safeguarding support by supplying certified and vetted persons who will mind a child found without a parent,keeping them calm in a safe space. But a proper safeguarding service goes beyond mindinglost kids into overseeing the safety and welfare of all minors under the age of 18 who are vulnerable and could

come to potential harm through alcohol or substance misuse, neglect or abuse. The welfare team can support any vulnerable young person and ensure that they receive help and understanding. The welfare tent is a place for recovery. If an event has music, bars and dance and particularly if it is an event with overnight camping, it is far too easy for people to over extend the amount of alcohol or potentially the substances they take to have agood time. If the person is not medically ill and don’t need to tie up the medics time and space, they often come to the welfare tent where they will be given hot drinks and a place to rest and recover while under the caring watchful eye of the welfare team. Welfare supports people who are troubled, having a hard time, have had bad news - people who need a quiet safe space away from the event activities where they can sort themselves out. A good welfare service will give an event the customer support that will keep people returning to the event again and again and not only that, but when they tell their friends how well they were cared for during a troubled time, their friends will come along too.
