A VILLAGE fete has been told it must commission a risk assessment before its local choir is
allowed to sing in the parish church. Terrington in North Yorkshire is planning a grand celebration next summer to mark ten years of work by its local arts group, with All Saints Church a key venue. But the festival’s steering committee has been told that before it can go ahead it must carry out detailed assessments of every potential risk in every location across the village where the scores of events will be held. Ian Hughes, the village postmaster and one of the organisers, said: “I guess that’s how life is these days. It’s because of the culture we live in these days where the slightest thing can get you sued.” Derbygripe.co.uk 2/07.
