The worrying thing about alcohol control is that I've had a look at the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) website for events and it starts by saying that preferably all alcohol should be banned!! Can you imagine a folk festival with no booze? This MOP also sounds a bit worrying - I don't mind doing a bit of work on this but writing a manual 1 1/2" thick is not what I'd planned for the weekend! One of the problems as I see it is that, if you have a marquee with the usual guy ropes, then you can't really stop people from tripping over the ropes - would you be expected to put a traffic cone alongside each rope or what? Talk about the nanny state - everyone is so afraid of being sued that it's no wonder some folk traditions have simply died out from being strangled in red tape.
