Beach Party, YOU are not invited!



Here is an item from the Herald Express.


I would like to stress it isn't just YOU who isn't invited,


it's EVERYBODY.











01 July 2008

Emergency plans are being drawn up today to cope with a feared invasion of 10,000 beach-party goers on Torbay. Police are even considering an unprecedented ban on the serving of alcohol in all licensed premises in a specific area.Local Licensed Victuallers Association boss Steve Goss hopes the ban won't go ahead but believes the police will make the right decision. Police are having to play a cat-and-mouse game with the unknown party organisers who have so far not identified where the event is being held.The police and council are meeting this afternoon to work out emergency measures if the party goes ahead.The event could have major health and safety implications and land the authorities with a hefty bill.

The rest of the item, which is quite long can be found here.

I'll keep you posted on any developments.

As far as I am aware, this is being arranged as a non commercial event via Facebook. So, surely this is not an 'event?'. I'd have thought it was just people meeting at the beach...just on a bigger scale.

Christ sake they allow activists to climb ontop of planes and up Big Ben.

So far 4000 people have expressed an intention to attend and police say there could be 10 000. First question. Where are they all going to pee?

How are they going to get to the party? Our buses carry 90 people so 90 into 10000 = 112 buses. I'm not sure we have that many buses here in Torquay.
