FORTHCOMING EVENTS (Report of the General Manager, Alexandra Palace) To advise the Committee on forthcoming events to the end of the financial year. TO BE TABLED
Minutes:
The Committee received a TABLED update in respect of forthcoming events. In response to clarification as to future events Mr Holder outlined the process following the proposed take over of the Firoka Group and that all existing event contracts would transfer over to them. In terms of employment contracts these would transfer under TUPE arrangements.
In response to Mr Boshier’s concerns as to the future of the farmer’s market Mr Holder advised that this had been a considerable success and would continue after the transfer. The only question arising here was whether the Farmers Market would continue under the auspices of the charity or whether a different mechanism was needed to ensure compliance with all the regulations applying including the tax regime of the charity.
In response to comments of Councillors Egan and Hare Mr Holder advised that the arrangements for the Firework Display and associated entertainments would continue, as well as the food fair/beer festival and would be managed by the Firoka Group.
The Chair then summarised and it was:
RESOLVED
That the report be noted.
