also.. if you march across or on roads.. or there are too many people expected to walk on the pavement.. then you have to inform the police and ask their permission to march... crossing from memorial park means we WILL need police permission... Just through the precinct and to the college you might get away with!
also.. though I guess you ve thought of this already.. you ll need stewards.. legally, but actually.. having been there... you just do!!
. Hi Lisa thanks for that but we have around 20 stewards, high vis jackets and the police are aware all we need now is the community to join us
do smbc have to be informed and dont you have to give them notice .
As MM has already stated, the police have been informed, which means that they will be present.
On the topic of stewards i would recommend having a contingency of around 10/15, incase numbers of people participating are larger than expected, ideally you want to maintain a ratio of either 1 steward for every 5 "civies" or, for situations were you have a huge number of people you can lax that to 1 steward for every 10 "civies" (civie = civilian taking part in the march) also make sure that the stewards have a clear chain of command, and as many of them as possible have a radio or other form of communication device. It may also be worth having a designated first aider, maybe 2, just to be on the safe side
One last point : make sure that you have a centeral command post, it makes for easier CMD&COM than having your commanders scattered all over the place. And it might be worth having a few checklists made for various incidents that might occur, so your not going crazy trynig to think what to do
Apologises if it looks like i'm trying to be bosy, i'm not trying to be
