Pembrokeshire revellers caught up in violent Lincolnshire rave


Pembrokeshire music fans were part of the crowds at UKTEC2015
A CONTINGENT of Pembrokeshire dance music lovers were amongst over a thousand revellers who attended UKTEK 2015 rave in Lincolnshire this Bank Holiday weekend.
However, the unlicensed event descended in to public order chaos, and three police officers and a police dog were injured after being attacked by about 200 people. The police had moved in, dressed in riot gear to try and shut down the party, which involved multiple sound systems, following complaints by neighbours.
One of the officers is in a serious but not life-threatening condition after being called to the rave on Saturday night, Sky News reported.
Lincolnshire Police told The Herald that all the injuries were caused by missiles thrown by the crowd at police. As police moved in to shut down the event crowds chanted “Shame on you” at police as the MC took to the microphone saying: “Do not attack the police, this event is about love and peace, do not stoop down to their level.”
The BBC have reported that 43 people were arrested at the event.
The illegal party, which is an annual event, was taking place in the area of Twyford Wood near Bourne, about 20 miles north of Peterborough. Locals may recall that a few years back the event took place at Dale Airfield.
It is estimated that around thirty people from Pembrokeshire travelled to England for the event.

A 26-year-old Pembroke Dock man, who asked not to be named, told The Herald by telephone: “The event would have been peaceful if the police were no so heavy handed. They decided to come in full riot gear with batons to a music event where everyone just wanted to dance and enjoy the Bank Holiday. We came up to UKTEK because we enjoyed the Dale event, and love big sound systems. No one from Pembrokeshire was arrested as far as I know, at least no one in our cars anyway.”
Police went to the site after receiving a complaint of loud noise and anti-social behaviour at about 11pm.
A statement said: “Police attended and found a large and illegal rave and the officers came under attack from an estimated 200 or so of the estimated 1000 or so who were at the site.
“Because of our regional collaboration arrangements we were able to mobilise enough resources to deal with the situation. We have seized a number of sound amplification systems and generators and we remain at the site today.”
Part of the A1 road was temporarily closed to deal with the situation. Police said they are carrying out a full investigation and would be prosecuting anyone involved in the disorder.

Foreigner in My Body – Workshop and show

HOW we see ourselves isn’t always how others see us. Join movement artist Sara Hartel in a workshop that explores the tension between identity and perception here at the Torch Theatre this Wednesday followed by a work in progress show on Thursday with Foreigner in My Body.
The evening workshop will give you an opportunity to learn how to creatively use audio description in a safe, nurturing environment which gives you space to explore the role gender plays in how we move, and how others see the way we move, through the creation of a piece of movement.
The show itself, Foreigner in My Body, is a work in progress show exploring the transgender journey through the lens of crossing borders. It blends circus, physical theatre and storytelling with malicious audio description. A story of rebellion and trans joy. Think of the burlesque of airport security, the luggage carousel of emotional baggage and a plane crash on aerial silks.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday 12 February at 7pm and the show on Thursday 13 February at 7pm. Both the workshop and show are suitable for those 14+. Anyone who attends the workshop can go the performance for FREE too!
Tickets for Foreigner in My Body are priced at £5.00. Visit the website for further details on www.torchtheatre.co.uk or phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267.

The project, which supported by several local organisations, invites residents to the Hub where free hot meals are provided and there are free activities to get involved in.
Mr Davies said, “Feed the Community is a fantastic initiative and it’s great to see the local community working together to create these inclusive and welcoming events.”
He added, “It’s a great way for local businesses and charities to engage with residents and build bridges in the community. The event was so well attended, and I was delighted to talk to residents, business representatives and volunteers. The atmosphere at the Hub was very positive and I was delighted to see it all for myself.”
