Time for some planning


With just 56 days to go until all the fun that is the GB festival, we're having the final big Operations Planning Meeting this weekend. We discuss what is going where, how major events will happen, what we need to do about certain issues, and we have a look round to see what's changed since we were last there.

I'm always worried that I'll burst out "But why on God's good Earth would anyone think it was a sane idea?": usually when we are discussing the latest great idea for a "really powerful act of worship". But then I am reminded that:
a] God delights in all our worship;
b] I am just there to facilitate it, not to judge it;
c] There is a REALLY SOUND point being made, and
d] Somebody has put a lot of creative energy into this.

I am responsable for the safety issues of the festival. More accurately, I am there to advise others on how to ensure that the risks associated with their component of the Festival are As Low As Reasonably Practicable. However, I fear that people mostly see us safety advisors as the people who say "No!"

I'm sure we're in line for a great Festival this year: we have new partner organisations and the layout of the site just keeps getting better and better.

Incidentally, if you're a qualified first aider, we'd love to have you on the team.

I think all children's tents should be balanced on knives above shark pools.

No, really.
