Concern over six<br />
before six at Garden Party<br />
But overall<br />
police happy<br />
with behaviour<br />
• By Karen Pasco<br />
IF THE police were to write a<br />
report card about the student<br />
Garden Party at Lincoln<br />
University it would say in<br />
the comments “still room for<br />
improvement”.<br />
Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen<br />
said on the whole attendees at<br />
the party had<br />
behaved well.<br />
But the<br />
students’ six<br />
drinks before<br />
6am tradition,<br />
still concerned<br />
police, she said.<br />
Kelly Larsen<br />
Loud parties<br />
could be heard<br />
before 6am in residential<br />
Lincoln, and police shadowed<br />
students as they walked from<br />
party to party.<br />
Said Senior Sergeant Kelly<br />
Larsen: “We’re happy with the<br />
behaviour inside the event. I<br />
do have some concerns about<br />

Garden Party.<br />
pre-loading prior to the event<br />
at private homes and halls of<br />
residence.<br />
“There’s still room for<br />
improvement.”<br />
Lincoln University Students’<br />
Association manager Fiona Kay<br />
said regardless of their level of<br />
intoxication, all ticket-holders<br />
were admitted into the event as<br />
the association had a “duty of<br />
care” to attendees.<br />
The garden party was<br />
organised by the association.<br />
“We provide a safe<br />
environment for them to sober<br />
up if they are intoxicated (when<br />
they arrive). Upon entry they<br />
will go into a medical tent staffed<br />
by ambulance service Horizons,”<br />
she said.<br />
Once in this area, the ticketholder<br />
is not allowed back into<br />
the event. The staff will then<br />
organise safe transport home for<br />
the individual via a friend<br />
or family member once they<br />
have deemed it safe for them to<br />
do so.<br />
Only five people out of 2700<br />
attendees were admitted into the<br />
medical tent throughout the day<br />
and one non-Lincoln student<br />
was arrested.<br />

Lincoln Hospitality acting<br />
director Stuart Reilly said<br />
increased security was put in<br />
place throughout the campus on<br />
the day of the party.<br />
“Lincoln University takes<br />
seriously our duty of care to all<br />
of our students and the potential<br />
impact the misuse of alcohol can<br />
have,” Mr Reilly said.<br />
Ms Kay said the students’<br />
association provided dry<br />
zones at all of its events and<br />
encouraged students to register<br />
their pre-parties with the Good<br />
