Doors will open at 8.00am for elderly and infirm ones and 8.15am for everyone
else. As in previous years bags may be subject to a search prior to entering the
Arena. Your patience and cooperation is very much appreciated. All bags and other
portable items must be labelled to include:
Name, Congregation and Contact Number.
To avoid trip hazards may we ask you to keep bags and other items tucked under
your seat when not in use.
Lapel Badge Wearing a current 2025 lapel badge is a condition of entry and must
be worn at all times. This will greatly assist the attendants to help identify non-
Witnesses who may need additional help. Lapel badges must be obtained through
your congregation as they will not be be issued at the convention. If you have
young children please ensure your contact details are included on the reverse side
of their lapel badge. Additionally it will greatly help the attendants if you take a
photograph of your child each day in the event they become separated from you.
No Metal Cutlery Only plastic or wooden cutlery is acceptable. Please leave all
metal cutlery including knives at home. No glass containers are allowed and due to
increased security no flasks, plastic or metal are to be brought to the Arena.
An Arena ‘Safety Announcement’ will be made at the beginning of each day.
Please pay close attention to it so as to understand what you may need to do in
the event of an emergency evacuation. In the unlikely event an evacuation
becomes necessary, please follow the instructions from the attendants and look
out for any additional information on your Congregation / Field Service Group
Whatsapp, if you have access to one.
Feel free to report any matter you feel uneasy about to any of the attendants, no
matter how insignificant you may feel it is.
PLEASE NOTE There are no storage facilities for suitcases provided at this
convention. For security reasons, suitcases are not permitted in the arena building.
