Subject: RE: PELs and circus folk [UK]
The original Bill was designed to catch-all. The fact that most has managed to escape makes it all the worse for those who remain caught.

But these (sporting events) are caught - not because they are unsafe and really needed any additional controls to make then safe, which would be understandable - but just because they are cought by the defining words of the Act.

It would be so nice if we could just go back and start again from the premises of what is safe or not. Are we now saying that circus cannot in fact take place in any church without entertainment permission because it is now considered as sporting event? What a circus!
