Agree proposed fixing points for festoon lighting
A point that looks convenient for lighting still needs permission and installer review. Label the possibilities on your area plan and identify who controls each one. Ask the venue what can be considered, then pass its requirements to Fables. The resulting register helps distinguish an organiser's preference, venue permission and the arrangement the installer can actually confirm for the site and equipment.
Label the proposed points
Label each proposed fixing point on the area plan and identify who owns or controls it. Give each point a short reference and use it consistently on photographs and drawings. Explain whether it belongs to the venue, a hired structure or another provider. A label makes a later answer traceable to a particular location rather than a vague comment about attaching lights somewhere nearby.
Ask who can permit attachments
Ask the venue what attachments are permitted and record any conditions in its own terms. Request the conditions applying to the actual event and proposed feature. Where a separate structure supplier is involved, identify its approval route too. Keep a venue permission distinct from the installer's assessment of whether the proposed use and equipment arrangement are suitable.
Send the site evidence together
Send photographs and permission information to Fables for installation review. Include the surrounding area and the route to it, not only a close-up of the feature. Give known measurements or restrictions and identify uncertainties. Ask what further information is needed; photographs support discussion but do not establish the strength, condition or suitability of a fixing point.
Have the installation arrangement confirmed
Ask Fables to confirm the agreed fixing arrangement and any further survey or approved support requirement. Ask Fables which proposal can be agreed after the relevant review. Record any further survey or separately approved support being discussed. Leave fixing methods, hardware and equipment-specific requirements with the installer rather than turning an inspiration photograph into instructions for attaching the lights.
Retain a permission and review record
Keep a permission register without prescribing loads, fixing methods or rigging hardware. Put each permission and supplier answer beside its point reference, contact and date. Keep unresolved points provisional. If the layout changes or another supplier moves a structure, ask the affected people to review the fixing proposal again instead of reusing the earlier answer without checking.

Questions about this worksheet
Does venue permission prove a fixing point is suitable?
Permission and equipment-specific installation review are separate parts of the discussion. Share the actual conditions and site information with Fables and ask which arrangement can be confirmed by the responsible installer for the proposed use.
Can this guide tell us what hardware to use?
No fixing method or hardware specification is supplied here. Use the register to identify points and decisions, then obtain the applicable arrangement from the people reviewing and carrying out the actual installation.
