While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Department of Home Affairs does not hold the information that you have requested.

This is because this event is organised by the Isle of Man Constabulary, not the Department of Home Affairs. The Isle of Man Constabulary / Chief Constable is a separate public authority for Freedom of Information purposes. Therefore, you may wish to re-submit your request to the Isle of Man Constabulary (or raise a general enquiry with them) and they may be able to assist you.
