Stafford Flash Mob anyone??

[WhiteBakeCase]

sorry to butt in... I was considering arranging something similar for a birthday next year, but have been stopped in my tracks by the dance group I'm using asking for "council permission".
Stafford BC are only responsible for market square and guildhall, anything else is Staffs CC.
Can I ask who is your contact to speak to for permission?

Did anyone go along? Please tell me that our student was there, camera in-hand...

Your student was there, camera in hand.

A mob, by any interpretation of the word, was not.

I have it on good authority that permission is only necessary if there will be more than 499 people in attendance.

Hi WhiteBakeCase, this was planned entirely by our student - I only got involved when she asked for some help recruiting people. However she also asked me to help her access power in the Market Square. I threw myself on the mercy of the Reception at Stafford Borough Council and they pointed me in the direction of a lovely lady who manages events there - things like the Farmers' Markets etc. I can't find the bit of paper I was scribbling on at that point, to give you her name, but if you called Reception at the Council and asked for the office in charge of events in the Market Square I am sure you would reach the same very helpful person.

Oh dear. I'd rather it be that way round, though, tbh. It would have been awful if people had turned up ready to dance and the student had made other plans! I hope she wasn't too disappointed and that she got some footage she can use - she seems to have worked very hard on this project.

Karen Rogers? wasnt much help, I was informed by that lady I'd need a 'licence' for the event, at a cost of nearly £200, although when I suggested it might happen regardless of licencing situation, the reply was "well, then we'd have no idea who to prosecute sooooo..."

Think I might just take a punt

I think you'll find that Withnail was the pigeon that made an appearance in the final few seconds.

I was there at the specified time but there was none of those shenanigans looking even remotely likely so i'm afraid i left.



Before reappearing very briefly as a pigeon.

I so just wanted the little girl to walk back up at the end and say "... it was only 20p!"

Not the best rehearsed I've ever seen... but this one has just made me laugh for the sheer balls of all including the vicar!
