Action Points

• Request for more details in the leaflet has been noted and a brief description of each performance/act booked for next year will feature in the promotional booklet and the posters that will be displayed in the respective parks.
• The point has been noted regarding more people to help. Based on audience figures for 2004 the amount of publicity was increased in 2005 to encourage wider audiences. This worked much better than expected and audience figures quadrupled. The huge increase was not anticipated and so we were unprepared, this was most noticeable on the craft events. To remedy this we will schedule more audience events rather than participatory events.
• The comment regarding the toilet facilities has been forwarded to the relevant section and is being addressed.
• There is always a concern with safety in the parks, however, parents are able to be with their children at all times and so if the children do run around it cannot be deemed the responsibility of Wychavon.
