Re: Golden Hour Returns to Forest - need approval
I guess this is something for the Events and Sound Working Groups but it might be a good idea to try to arrange the decibel meter in the café in time for this. Does "no amplified" go for words as well, or are they OK, sound-wise? I ask for the Inky mic next week. The key point is re noise is that a...

Re: Golden Hour Returns to Forest - need approval
Given we are currently dealing with a Change of Use complaint re using LP as an entertainment venue and the resulting noise disturbance, plus the possibility of a serial complainant (see my latest in the Lauriston place thread), I'd say it is worth playing clever for once & avoiding a stooshie.
