Pickering latest

[rallygoer69]

I have read with interest the recent posts on the steam rally at Pickering Showfield and am amazed that nobody has realised the local authority did not grant a licence for the rally this Monday. A decision on whether to grant a licence has been deferred until a meeting of the council next week. Its going to be tight as some of the crews were going up Sunday.

Still a farce then! Surely you would've had the licence paperwork dealt with months ago?

This all seems very strange. Perimeter fencing erected, security on site. Also signs in the Market Place informing public that the street will be closed on Saturday 1st August from 16.30hrs. Seems a lot of trouble and expense if no licence granted.
But this is Pickering rally we are talking about.

Maybe somebody could explain/clarify what is meant by a 'licence' for the event?

I guess an Alcohol Licence, no Licence no Beer.

Have e-mailed organiser to see what is going on.

I don't know if 1 month is the normal notice period..

Seems straightforward enough to me... Also seems an odd introductory post from a new user, unless they have an agenda of course....

As long as we dont need to listen to the moaning on here in the aftermath. IF you go to one or the other good luck to you.

If you read the guidelines for the grant of a premises licence - which this is, then -

Only the police can object

If there are no objections then the grant is all but assumed

Strikes me that any adjournment is to allow a site inspection and clarification, as a refusal could be very, very messy, as the promoter now has a track record of events elsewhere in the country that have gone off smoothly.

I am not going and am not involved in either - but I do know the one I would not attend!
