People against MMA

    There are some people out there that are against cage fighting. (Everyone is entitle to their views). Some of these people are trying to stop these events by making requests under the freedom of information Act, requests such as schematics of cage, health & safety plan, event management plans, entertainments licence of the venue, crowd control plan, fighters insurance.

    Just to let you all know that this information does not have to be given under this request, as this Act only applies to Public bodies. If the local council has granted the venue a licence then they are satisfied that you have all procedures and policys regarding insurance/safety in place.

    Therefore you dont have to reply to members of the public to a request under this act

    There has been no problem with the council, the message did not imply dat. Just implied that there are some members of the public trying to put obstacles in the way of mma promoters in the running of an event. Its just to makers promoters aware that they do noy have to comply with this request.


    Who said anything about Newry?

    I think you heard wrong, the council have never given any hassle regarding MMA. It has been members of the public making requests under this ACT

    The problem being members of the public making requests as per my first post and threatening to have the event closed down if the request is not adhered to. But they cant because the request only applies to public bodies

    I don't see a problem with any of the above, they all seem pretty standard:confused:

    Why would a promoter not provide this information to an interested party? If someone wanted to confirm I had a licence, and i did have one, i'd have no problem letting them do so.

    TBH the only people need worry about any such "requests" are people who don't have the appropriate event management procedures and insurances in place. And they would have bigger worries than some angry locals.

    this is a non-issue really.

    We had this on our very first show, including 3 visits from the police, but we had all our paperwork on order so it was ballache more than it was an issue.

    Same with us. The last Spartan show in Ballymena attracted attention from the Ballymena council, Enviromental health and the PSNI. I had all the Documents requested and the show went ahead. Our biggest to date.
    Anyone that dosnt want to release this information would ring alarm bells for me. I mean if your doing it right what have you got to hide?

    +1

    I don't see why anyone staging any event where the public will be attending wouldn't do the event plans etc as a matter of course. It shouldn't take an FOI request to get a promoter to do the basics of event management. We get 2 or 3 requests per show now and I for 1 welcome them.
