I think it may actually become way easier in some areas as lots of livestock farmers are having serious financial problems and there is intense competition, plus subsidies are harder to get
all farms are allowed 28 days of “non-farming” type events without risking their subsidies
a TENS license holder can do 20 events in a year (there is a limit)
yes it means a bit of compromise with authorities and people will have to work together and ensure clear up is done afterwards and the party is safe but those are the issues that have been unaddressed and led to the backlash..
Also if parties in Norfolk and Beds/Herts work then its more incentive for Suffolk and Essex to follow suit..
Do you think alot of problem with the farmers is the clear up??
would just make sence to throw your bottles in a bag or in the car if you ask me wouldn’t want any lil animals getting caught up would you.
that is IMO the major problem with the raves at the moment. Even the cops, farmers and Forestry officials are coming across like eco-warriors these days as they tend to complain more about “environmental damage” than noise or even drugs! they have also got photographic evidence of the rubbish being left behind.
To be fair much of it is actually cleared up but the bags are still left (passing the disposal costs back to the farmer) and the Forestry chap said he accepted that clear up was done but “often it isn’t good enough”.
that is perfect sense and what people used to do (also bottles/cans are valuable as scrap) but its all fallen by the wayside. I think a lot of it is because parties go well into Sunday afternoon so people are too sketchy to do the clear up properly (or its becoming dark), also many don’t care as they aren’t that bothered if parties still happen when they are in their mid twenties as they will have stopped going..
I’m such a neat freak i hate litter it annoys me tbh even when i go to regular raves i usually only have one bottle and just keep filling it up so to me wouldn’t see it as an issue, i guess aswell that alot of the younger lot that go possiblly don’t have the same respect for things either, its just a shame really
we’ve discussed this issue about litter and think that bringing along a few bins along would be in order, it’s just getting people to comply and actually use em, I don’t like seeing litter in the country side specially not from a rave!! gotta watch those ecstasy wrappers as well:wink: incidentally how much would it be be a TENS license holder?:love:
best get huntin then, no? 😉
one rave I was at last year had a framework which contained bin bags, and people were encouraged to deposite bottles/cans in separate bags. I’ve heard of crews getting enough money to cover fuel costs by weighing in recoverable scrap.
All them nos chargers must be decent quality food grade stainless steel as well..
The license itself doesn’t cost much. only £21 or thereabouts (might increase at financial year end) Its the paperwork which is the big bit of work rather than costs..
when i first moved down here i used to live near eye in diss and i was at my nans lay in bed one night and i could hear this music so i stomped across this field and came across one that is the only illigal i have been to down here in the whole 3 years i have been here, people are very secretive but i can see why
I know someone who does very well collecting them and scrapping em
as for litter you can get them cynlider pop-up type things for well cheap, stick a bin liner in em and dot em around the site will cost next to nothin
imo with litter it’s simply laziness, people can’t be arsed to walk to a bin. the more bins the better.
cigarette butts a bit harder but we got handed out stubby things at school. an ashtray/bin thing mite be a bit unrealistic for a party, still my mate always puts his fag out and puts it in the nearest normal bin.
If you aint willing to look for a good location or clean up after the part, you shouldn’t be throwing one the first place.
I used to have an old 35mm film case to put my fag buts in 😉
don’t care what people think/say………..i always look after my rubbish, sometimes even stay behind once most people have gone a give a good tidy up…wel what you can do really.
and pills have been gettin better recently, those white love hearts are supposedly mega-high mdma and pretty oldskool
Yeh those white love heearts are best pills around atm, but there are 2 batches goin around, one realy good batch, and another shit batch, they are 2 slightly different pills tho, i cant remember the difference tho.
Yeh i know the guys who do the partys in that area, and they all live pretty close by, gd partys tho, always a real good atmosphere and stompin tunes!
