At Wakefield, I ran a long extension cable to the stand which has four
outputs, then chained 6-ways off that. The onsite sparky didn't mind that
and was OK with it.

Dave, is there a dedicated sparky at the venue this time?

That's what I'd expect, and bring a couple of reels too.

Stoke was a nightmare, I'd really not like to do stuff in those conditions
again. Scared the living crap out of me.
