The shooters on the weekend, 10 to 13 August, want a nice shooting festival – and above all, the safety of festival. For this, they have done everything again and put a safety concept on their feet.
Already 14 days ago, all participants sat together: volunteer fire department, police, German Red Cross, public order of the community and the shooters. Since then nothing stands in the way of the festival weekend.
“We have to register the parades “, explains Michael, organizer of the shooting festival. The approval was given the circle – with the same specifications as last year. “That calmed us down,” says Pache. Nothing was changed in the process.
During the parades – picking up the royal couple with a march on Saturday and a big parade on Sunday – the main focus is according to Pache on the main street. “This is blocked off with beacons provided by the community,” says Pache.
Folder for removals wanted
As in the past year, red-white cordon tape, signs and folders in safety vests are enough in the Tempo 30 zones that the shooters carry out in their moves. “So far, a lot of folders have reported,” says Pache. He could still use three to four helpers. If you are interested, you can contact Michael Pache at Tel. 01 76/64 39 17 31. He suspects that, as in the past few years, there will still be briefs. “We always get it.”
“We are on the safe side”
“On Saturday and Sunday, we are on the safe side during the parades.” Michael Pache is very satisfied with the support of the participants. Especially the local fire department emphasizes the organizer. For the children’s parade in the family afternoon on Monday, the effort is less. “The parade does not take place on the street,” explains Pache. The children are working on the church behind the royal couple.
The security concept of the shooters, however, does not only include the parades. Also, the bird shooting on Saturday and the [Q] -stall party on Friday evening must be safe. “The bird shooting range has been completely renovated,” says Pache. There are certain rules that must be complied with. “It’s all in line with the rules. We have no security concerns, “emphasizes the organizer.
[Q] stall is a big event
The [Q] -Stall-Party is meanwhile a major event for the shooters with more than 1100 party guests. As in the previous year, the members have again taken care of a professional security service. The shooters have decided for the company Galicia Security from Unna. “They did a good job last year – with a lot of tact,” says Pache. “We trust in it again this year.” The police also drive more patrol.
A look at the past shooting festivals shows that the holidays went quiet overall. Several years ago, some guests thought they could steal signs that stood on the road. Since then, the shooters have illuminated the parking lot. Should there be problems on the shooter’s field or in the tent, the shooters would use their house right, explains Pache.
So far, the “village character” has always come through at the shooting festival. “People want to celebrate together peacefully,” says Pache. And so it is again this year: “We all want to have a nice party.”
