Subject: RE: Risk Assessment for folk band
I remember only too well a Barn Dance we played at for a rugby club. An ambulance was called for twice in the evening. Once where an arch was made along the length by the dancers who when reaching the end the top couple would duck and then reach over the couples making arches. At this exact point an idiot decided to run up the arch the wrong way. He head butted the poor guy who bent down to go through the first arch. This knocked both of them out cold and an ambulance was called to take them away. The second was where two couples were circling which as you know normally lifts the ladies feet off the ground if done too vigorously. These ladies however were being spun so fast they were at the horizontal. At which point a poor young lady walking by was caught across the face by the stiletto heel of one of the dancers twirling round, that was the second ambulance. We got a standing ovation at the end but the decision was that it would be the last rugby club do we would play at again.
