I just wasn't sure if there was any health and safety policy on the building regarding peoples use of mains sockets...
I guess everyone would be responsible for their own equipment being in good working order
I've DJ'd a couple clubs where they won't let you use your own equipment unless you can produce a valid PAT test certificate!
We'll have the facility to PAT test anything that needs to be tested, although we will need to resolve exactly where the boundaries are. If it's your own stuff in your own room, for fun, then I don't think it's an issue (or rather it's no different from taking the same bit of kit into a hotel). Stuff the con provides for you to use needs to be tested. If you were using your laptop in the dealers den, for example, then it kinda counts as "work", and you ought to ensure it is safe (but we can test it for you) - I think this is where those clubs were coming from.
