The No 1 Community Event

Although it may look as though not much has happened this the decision not to hold Nailstock this year, there's been an lot going on in the background. Back in March this year, a meeting was held with the Police Licensing authority to establish what we needed to do in light of the events of 2007.

It soon became obvious that we needed to create an "Event Management System" document that would provide in detail what was required in Event management, Health & Safety, Security, Alcohol and Drugs Control , Food Hygiene, Traffic Management and Noise Management. This document would take over from the current appendix attached to the License.

Over the summer months we created this document which, having been agreed in principle by all authorities, has now allowed us to continue and to organise the event for 2010. We are very grateful for the support from the Police Licensing authority, Stroud District Licensing Authority and the Nailsworth Town Council for their tremendous support during this process and our relationship with them will ensure that Nailstock will be one of the safest and best community events in Gloucestershire.

We are now working in earnest to ensure everything is in place for a fantastic Nailstock 2010. We'll be holding local public meetings shortly so that local residents are fully aware of our proposals for 2010. We've always stated that Nailstock is the peoples event and not ours. This remains true and it's important that local people have a say in how Nailstock develops.

Nailstock's success depends upon your support. We need Volunteers who want to be involved in an event that Nailsworth is proud of. Do check the "Get Involved" page for further details.

We'll keep you updated on progress and in the meantime we wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas
