Hiring a Tamworth park

Under the council's sports and recreation venue hire conditions, each amusement device supplier hands the council a copy of its Certificate of Currency, and a licensed and insured supplier installs and supervises the device. How the castle is anchored is agreed with council staff at the site induction, so nothing is pegged before then (hire conditions).
