Good evening, everyone! I’m glad you could all make this planning meeting for what promises to be the biggest and most colourful free rock festival ever held in the southeast! So whether you’re a performer, a craft exhibitor or an artist, we all extend a big welcome to you.
Could we turn first to the plan so I can familiarise you with the layout of the site — which as you know is an old football stadium — we’re really lucky to have so much space this year. You can see the main gate at the bottom of the plan — have you found it? —that’s where most visitors will enter, It’s also the entrance for those taking part in the craft fair: we’ve set the stalls just inside the gate on the left, in a circle.
If you walk straight ahead from the gate along the path without turning right, you’ll come to some steps up to the football stadium. On the left of the steps is the Fringe Stage.  This is for alternative artistes — they include folk singers, poets and other acts which are more suited to a smaller stage — and they should also enter by the main gate. On the opposite side of the steps is a restaurant and adjoining that is the main festival information point. Here you can get extra programmes and up-to-the-minute information about events, and you can discuss any last-minute problems — although we hope everything will be running smoothly when the festival opens.
Right, coming back to the plan, you go up the stairs to the stadium. The entrance for the rock bands is on the far side, and on your right is the main stage, which will have powerful illumination and amplification throughout the weekend. There will probably be TV vehicles adjacent — that’s in this area only — for recording purposes.
If you look at the outside of the plan, you can see a third gate for exhibitors opening onto a side path. A little way down the path, before you get to the trees, is the building where the Art Exhibition’s being housed. Then finally there’s just one more building marked on your plan — guite near the main gate. It’s divided into lock-up garages. So I hope you now feel quite familiar with the main festival area.
