NATIONAL EVENTS

Our first ever show in early 2008 whilst managing the Bike Arena at the National Outdoors Show at Birmingham NEC and it was a roaring success - since then we've done dozens of national events indoors and out.

We understand the different needs of large event organisers and ensure that our service suits your needs. We understand that nothing can be left to chance at large events and that often you have stricter guidelines to work under. That is why we leave no stone uncovered with our attention to detail, especially when it comes to paperwork. Bespoke method statements and risk assessments are no problem. Working and adapting to strict (yet often 'fluid') timetables is not a problem. And all of that H&S paperwork you require from every supplier - it is sat waiting for you to download from our website alongside all of the promotional materials you require.

We understand that our service does not begin when the public arrive. We are here to support your promotional campaigns and to help spread the word about your event via our fanbase. We can help with promotional stunts, hi-res photographs, media interviews etc etc. Anything that helps you promote your event helps promote ourselves too.

We are experienced in working with your partners at the event. Re-branding our equipment is not a problem. Communicating your key messages through our shows is also fine. Sharing our PA equipment is fine. Basically we pride ourselves on doing more than we need to do, to ensure you want us back time and time again! That's why we have done many national shows for 3 years running or more. We'd love some new big projects, so please contact Iain to discuss your event.

As the popularity of our show, and indeed the scale of our stunts has grown, so the demand for us to appear alongside more traditional 'main ring' entertainment has grown too. This has caused us a couple of specific problems, which we have successfully solved:

1. Our riders want to ride a rig that can best show off their amazing skills at every event. This usually requires around an hour to build static platforms and ramps to ensure the best (and safest) environment for this. So back to the drawing board for us and we have come up with a specific rig designed around our vehicle and trailer. This gives us the height we need for the big stunts and also with our features attached to our trailer and Russian-doll style platforms we can drive into an arena and within 10 minutes our show is underway (or packed away)! Through careful design we have packed enough features into the rig to give a show of up to 30 minutes without any 'filler'. So give us a timeslot of between 30 minutes and an hour in your arena and we can work our magic up to three times per day!
2. Our show is best viewed up-close and personal with people (especially kids) cricking their necks at our riders in the air and gasping with shock as the bikes fly through the air a couple of metres away from their faces! In a way every main ring attraction has this challenge and we have adapted our rig so that the public can appreciate the stunts from a distance with a clear view from all angles. We would also love to work with your event site to create a specific area of the crowd where we can create in effect a 'kids screaming zone' so we can still get up-close and interact with the most enthusiastic part of the crowd. High-fives and give-aways needn't be sacrificed for an Arena show. This has worked great at previous shows and the whole crowd feed off the enthusiasm of the young'uns.

A separate build/practice/warm-up area is important to ensure perfect preparation, however this can be in a car park or off-site if required. If there is another part of your event site available, then we can engage with the public between shows and run some interactive sessions. Many kids hang out with us and enjoy the riders warming-up and chatting to them as much as they do the actual stunt show.

Hopefully we have described how our Arena Show is a well thought-out show in its own right and we have thought about how to deliver all of the benefits of our 'typical' show. We would obviously love to discuss the specific quirks of your event site, timetable and vibe before you decide if we are the attraction to go with. Simply get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you.

One of our first projects in 2008 was to tour schools to promote cycling as an exciting, healthy activity and transport choice. We are about to do the same for the fifth year in a row. The combination of our stunt shows and interactive activities had an outstanding effect on cycling uptake. Since then not only have we done over 100 school shows, we have been hired by national cycling and sustainable transport organisations to do the same for them. And it works.

Other than perhaps an evening with Chris Hoy for everyone, it is difficult to imagine a better way of gaining initial interest in cycling, than showing the most skilful cyclists in the UK doing unbelievable stunts right in front of their eyes! Also The Clan engage much further with the public than purely 'wow, that's crazy i can't do that!'. Indeed as the personalities of our riders come through, as they chat to the public and let them try stunt bikes, slowly those barriers break down and the public (especially under-18s) realise that our riders are normal humans with super-human skills and they are simply REALLY enthusiastic about riding bikes. Our show is a great 'hook' and also educates people as to the benefits of cycling and also how to get into fun forms of cycling.

Our show has been re-branded and our commentary tailored to communicate the key messages of cycling initiative brands. We can even handle the re-branding process as we have done many times in the past to make your job easy. Often sustainable transport events book us first as then they know they have a focal point to their event and a good source of press coverage. Our show works as a great central feature in an educational event and creates the enthusiasm in the public as they filter out into information stands.

As a passionate cyclist, Clan manager and MC Iain will be happy to understand and communicate your project to others to ensure that your budget is well- spent on The Clan. Simply get in touch to start the ball rolling...
