Events and Clubs
Dear Staffordshire County Council,
I am writing today under the Freedom of Information Act to request information on all clubs, events and activities happening within the county for people of all ages, run by the council and those which the council has knowledge of.
I am looking for a CSV, spreadsheet or SQL Dump of all activities on YouFind and information held relating to these events. As well as this I am also the relevant information (as much as possible in the same format and same detail) on all other activities which are not on this site held within Leisure Services, Family Information Service and other departments within the council. This includes regular clubs and one off events.
I hope you will be able to help me with this.
Yours faithfully,
Will Tinsdeall

Dear Ms Wiles
Thank you for your response.
Although this information is part of the request, it is not the fulfil the request entirely. First of all this makes no mention of the data set behind YouFind and the information the Family Information Service provides and secondly it has not been sent in a reasonable format for analysis as described.
As a technical consultant I know this information behind YouFind and the council website event pages is being held in a structured way and can be outputted without much effort by the IT department as a CSV. I may however concede that information from the Family Information Service may not be able to be provided in the way specified.
For this reason I would like to ask for an internal review of this request, and involve the relevant IT departments to provide the information in a analysable format. Furthermore I would like to again ask for the YouFind and Family Information Service information.
Yours sincerely,
Will Tinsdeall
Dear Mr Tinsdeall,
Thank you for your email.
The way your original request read was that you required information on
events that the County Council is aware of, which is why the link was
sent to you detailing this.
The Freedom of Information Act stipulates that information has to be
sent, but does not have to be in the format as requested.
I will send your request to our ICT department and get back to you in
due course.
Regards,
