Round 1, BYN, Northampton

admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 08:53:17 +0000

The weather was acceptable as round one of the British Youth Motocross Nationals got under way in Northampton last weekend. This year in an attempt to bring the youth series up to scratch, governing body of motorcycle motorsport, the ACU, appointed RHL activities as series promoter. RHL are now world famous for the Western Beach Race among other events.

The weekend got under way with practise and qualifying for the 5 classes, with races beginning around lunchtime. Yorkshire Sound Service provided a full PA and commentary service, with the now famous double deck commentary unit providing a base for staff and commentator. Our computer systems are now wirelessly connected to the ACU timing unit on race weekends, allowing live results, lap times and rider information to be sent in real time to the commentator. Twelve Motorola radios were provided for track side officials and management. The Next round of the series is in Lincolnshire in three weeks.

The 2012 season, with Yorkshire Sound Service

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:52:38 +0000

As we move into spring the crew at YSS are hard at work preparing for the forthcoming show season. All our regular events have booked once again, along with many new events in all reaches of the UK. The addition of a double deck commentary box to our fleet last year proved highly successful, and after researching other units to hire in the UK, we can safely say that we own the tallest double decker, with the largest working space in square metres.

Planning for many shows is now moving ahead. Why not speak to Yorkshire Sound Service for your sound and commentary box requirements for 2012. And remember, Yorkshire by name, but available nationwide!

HSG 195, How do the changes affect you?

admin — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 15:42:26 +0000

As previously reported here on the YSS news page, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are re-writing their legendary purple book, the event bible for many show and event organisers. HSG 195, the official title for the document, has for many years been aimed specifically at sporting events and music concerts in permanent stadia, arenas and indoor venues. Recognising the large number of outdoor events in the UK and their unique requirements, the HSE people have enrolled the help of organisations such as ASAO, who have a voice and authority in the outdoor event industry. Here at YSS, we keep a close eye on the developments being made in the all new 195 document, and can offer show organisers a no nonsense approach to many of the chapters involving issues such as crowd control, crowd safety, crowd management, communication, emergency planning (specifically how the PA system can be used) and other topics relating to pubic address systems.

Nidderdale Show, Pateley Bridge

Mid September brought a new event to the Yorkshire Sound Service team. Nidderdale Show at Pateley Bridge is one of the last shows in the Yorkshire season. Set on the permanent showground at Bewerley Park, hard roads and a covered grandstand ensure that this historic event is geared up to typical British Autumn weather. YSS provided the double deck trailer, which over the last 4 months since its début, has proved a great success. With our now famous “Whole Area Coverage” PA systems the entire showground was brought to life for the first time ever, with emergency messages and announcements being transmitted to all areas. Separate PA systems in 8 further areas provided local commentary for such areas as the cattle tents, sheep pens, pigs, goats, WI marquee, dog show and the local cricket club pitch.

Three big events at the same time? No Problems.

Last weekend Yorkshire Sound Service did what they do best; Provide high quality PA systems and supporting infrastructure to not one but three events simultaneously, with the same high standards of workmanship and customer service at each one. The first event is Hodder Valley Show, in the beautiful Trough of Bowland in Lancashire. We have been associated with this show for well over 20 years now, and every year it is a pleasure to return to work alongside such a hard working and friendly show team. Second on the list was one of our motocross venues, Milton Malsor, Northampton. YSS have been travelling down the M1 to this popular motocross venue for just over a year now, and with three successful visits under our belt, it has become one of our specialist venues. The culmination of the 2011 BYMX championship was battled out over the 1100 metre track, with youth champions being crowned in every class.

By far our biggest show is Penistone. This year additional challenges were provided for us by the show management team. No fewer than 12 PA systems, one double deck commentary box and a two camera visual presentation system were required, along with a fully controlled 40 radio system for important communications and emergency planning. A full report on Penistone will follow.

Agricultural Shows – YSS Support British Farmers

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 09:31:32 +0000

August has historically been a busy month for Yorkshire Sound Service, with PA systems and commentary units spanning the UK at agricultural shows and events. August 2011 has been no exception, with Tockwith, Gargrave, Malham, Barrowford and Kilnsey shows all catered for in our usual first rate style! Kilnsey show, in Upper Wharfedale chose to use our new double deck trailer in the main ring, which proved a great success, and somewhat of a spectacle at this true Yorkshire Dales show. YSS have been working at agricultural shows for over 25 years now, and have more experience in this area than any other.
