TRUSSES

There are 3 fixed, permanently installed, trusses. These are Litec QX30SA which is a nominal 29cm truss. Due to the Powder-coat finish, and the thickness of the truss wall tube, compression attachments should be used, and hook-clamps with wing-bolts are not permitted.

Length (approx.) Trim (approx.) MAX UDL AVAILABLE

Stage Truss 10 m 5.1 m 500 kg 220 kg

Front Truss 8 m 6.7 m 200 kg 110 kg

Audience Truss 8 m 6.7 m 200 kg 165 kg

The quoted Maximum UDL is for the bare truss. The Available Load is what is left after the house standard technical package has been subtracted. Please also consider the following: [1] On a truss with a uniformly distributed load, a centre point will take at least 62% of the load. [2] When loads are approaching maximum capacities of the lifting equipment (including the roof brackets/beams) and if the lift involves more than 2 hoists, load monitoring via load cells should be seriously considered to avoid overloading of equipment.

MARKETING

MARKETING SUPPORT FROM THE BOILER SHOP

• Your event will be listed on our website. If you have a promo photo or any copy you would like included, please send it over and it will be included at our discretion. Your event will be included in our listings mail out for press.

• We can promote your event via our social networks - it will be announced on our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages and we will send out timely posts in the run up to it. There is scope to run competitions promoting the event via these channels, but these will be considered on an individual basis.

BRANDING GUIDELINES When referring to BOILER SHOP on marketing material please keep to a few simple guidelines:

• Please always write BOILER SHOP in uppercase

• On posters and other signage, where possible please use our logo which is available upon request. Otherwise please write BOILER SHOP in uppercase. The font is Futura BT medium.

• Where the BOILER SHOP name or logo is used alongside other brands, Stephenson Works reserves the right to approve the use of its name and logo in advance.

POSTER SITES We have a selection of poster sites at the BOILER SHOP, which you may use during your event. If you wish to display some posters inside the venue on the night of your event, these must be put up and taken down by yourselves. FLYPOSTING We must remind all promoters that flyposting is illegal under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992. Any promoter engaging in this act who gets reported to us by either the local council or otherwise will be asked to remove it immediately, and may be barred from any further promotion at the BOILER SHOP.

FILMING & INTERNET USE FILMING, STREAMING AND RECORDING Depending on how many cameras you plan to use, and where you intend to put them, there can be an impact on the number of tickets you can sell. The preferred setup which can be achieved without having an impact on the capacity is:

• Pit - 1x camera on fixed tripod or handheld (not on track)

• Stage - 1x or 2x cameras handheld or on fixed tripod

• F.O.H. position - 1x camera on fixed tripod Further cameras will require floor space, and hence will have an impact on the capacity of the show. Our facility fee for filming a show is £500 + VAT. Please contact Daveid Phillips – [email protected] INTERNET ACCESS The Venue has a Fibre-Optic internet service that is sufficient for the needs of visiting personnel. It has 100Mb upload and download speed, on a 1gb bearer so it is more than capable of also being able to reliably stream live broadcasts. Wifi is available throughout.

ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERFORMERS Boiler Shop is keen to promote equality of opportunity for people with disabilities, and to take the necessary steps to meet their requirements. We are working with Attitude is Everything to improve Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music. The stage is directly accessible from the outside via a ramp through the load in bay. As yet there is no accessible area backstage.

If an accessible dressing room is required, please get in touch. More information about Attitude is Everything can be found here: http://attitudeiseverything.org.uk/
