Beau Brown Pavilion |
|
 |
Beau Brown Pavilion is approx. the same size as the Trevitt, (20 x 26 metres) but with a very high roof- approx. 15 metres high, and with some leadlight windows this gives something of a church atmosphere. Panelled timber walls and concrete floor with good provision of power points all round the walls. | ||
 |
Height obstacles include horizontal steel bar trusses about 5m off the ground tying together the the two sides of the steep roof. These might hold light objects such as lanterns, but would not be strong enough to hold heavy objects. | ||
 |
The main roof beams are inaccessibly high for good skyhooks, unless climbing/abseiling techniques were used to attach ropes and pulleys. | ||
 |
At the front of Beau Brown pavilion there are three small storerooms and a small foyer. Above these is another cluttered storeroom and a small balcony about 4m above the floor. The balcony is probably the best place to operate lighting, as it is close to the 3 phase power outlet, 4m above the floor over the main entrance door. The storerooms could possibly be used for crew tool lock ups. | ||
 |
Front door to Beau Brown is a sliding metal door only 2.6m high by 2.8m wide. | ||
 |
Rear door to Beau Brown leads out to the side of the showground racetrack, but is only 3m tall by 1.7m wide. | ||
 |
At the rear of Beau Brown pavilion there is a roofed open air bar with attached lockable coolroom. This space has large vertical floodlight poles, small toilets, and a level, compacted sandy ground area for spectators near the grandstand. Five small portable unroofed" bookies stands" also proved useful for a parading exercise. |
