| It’s been a busy year with far too many early morning starts, late nights and time spent driving on the M4. |
Bath Christmas Market – 30 November to 10th December for Bath Tourism Plus. REM provided site management for this quality ‘European style’ outdoor market with 123 wooden chalets selling local and international handmade goods. |
|
A Victorian Festival of Christmas – 1-3 December for Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Event management of a three day festive event featuring a ‘Victorian’ cast of hundreds, a Christmas market, a traditional funfair, street entertainment and music. |

Bristol Half Marathon - 17 September For the fifth year in a row REM worked with Bristol City Council to help manage the Half Marathon, which saw almost 10,000 runners safely complete the course this year. We provided site crew and health and safety services, helping to ensure the event continues to be a successful major sporting occasion for the region. It is always a great reaction when any of us say we are running the Bristol Half Marathon. |

VT Group appointed REM to produce the event having been impressed by their ideas to incorporate the history of previous HMS Clyde vessels and reflect the huge advances in technology incorporated in the new ship. Following a VIP dinner 1,200 guests made their way to grandstand seating flanking the dock and a further 330 VVIPs were housed in a Serious Structures space building constructed at VT main reception offices looking over the hull and super-structure of the ship. With the ship shrouded in ‘cloud’ and blinders hiding the vessel a traditional naming ceremony took place, with a blessing by the Royal Navy Chaplain. HMS Clyde then burst into life, its grey hulk becoming the screen for an impressive projection with accompanying audio, effects lighting, pyrotechnics, lasers and the band of the Royal Marines performing on the helicopter deck. A
fantastic blend of Navy tradition and cutting edge production
techniques. |

| Jersey Live 2006 – 1 & 2 September Working on behalf of Positiv Productions, REM crossed the English Channel to undertake the event management of Jersey Live 2006. The National Press and music industry press have called this jewel of an event the ‘best little festival of the year’ and with the promoters we are justifiably proud of the reputation the festival has gained in such a short time. This years acts included Snow Patrol, The Zutons, The Levellers, The Editors, Sandi Thom and local bands getting a well deserved chance to play in front of a big crowd. Only drawback was it took us two weeks to stop singing “ I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair “ Further info: www.jerseylive.co.uk |

Services provided included site management, stage management and health and safety.
