The 2022 OATLEY LIONS VILLAGE FESTIVAL UPDATE

We have held discussions with our sponsors with respect to holding this year’s Oatley Village Festival. We have assessed the risks in an ever-changing environment. Risks included:

·       Potential short notice cancellation ie public health orders changes

·       Escalating costs & financial risks in the event of unplanned cancelling of the event

·       Contractual & compliance issues

·       Complex road closures including water-filled barriers costs & logistics

·       Insurance complexities for some events

Importantly, our assessment includes, as a small club, our ability to manage & resource such a significant event in addition to all the other community activities & services we strive to provide every year.

Our assessment is that "the risks remain considerable to hold the event" and therefore the 2022 Village Festival will not be held.

In the meanwhile, we are holding two Community Market days, in April & 26 November in the Uniting Church grounds - to help reconnect our community post pandemic.
