Notice Description

Darkside Security have successfully handled security issues during these events for over 20 years and have aided in the preparation of the security strategy. Therefore we wish to continue using a company which has significant operational knowledge and local insight into the event, which in turn has resulted in previous years running extremely smoothly.
