Bad news about the Zombie Walk

We’ve had a major setback with the Brisbane Zombie Walk, and its future is not definite at this stage. When arranging the date of the walk with police I found out the walk can no longer be classed as a “peaceful procession” and is not classed as a “special event” which means we must pay for the cost of the police presence we are required to have. Unfortunately this is probably going to mean a few thousand dollars, not including the public liability insurance we will also need. Needless to say we cannot afford that. BUT we are also not quitters and are looking into ways to raise money so that the walk can continue this year and for many years after. It will mean we have to push the date of the next walk back a fair bit, and are thinking of having it in October to coincide with World Zombie Day which would give us plenty of time to cover all the costs for the walk.

So now we need to arrange a kind of “board of directors”, people who are willing to help with the organisation of the walk and any events or activities we’ll be putting on for fundraising in the coming weeks and months. We’d also appreciate any suggestions or feedback from people as well.
