Unfortunately this year was somewhat spoilt for quite a few people including myself and Pat who is the Chair of the Folk Mob by the irresponsible behaviour of a small minority.

I wouldn't like to see young people excluded from Knockholt but I do think that they are the responsibility of the adult that they are with and that they should monitor what they are doing/drinking! It is not the responsibility of the Folk Mob organisers who are there to have fun at something that's taken them a year to organise.

The noisy women that Linda refferred to have been barred from future events We don't even know who they are this is the second time they have turned up and caused problems I remember RB having a row with them a couple of years ago because of their behaviour. Also 1 certain young man has been given serious warnings. This is what happens when events have a free bar and people are incapable of knowing when to stop. We can all get merry as Richard said and not cause offence. I think that the people involved meant no harm they were just drunk, loud and obnoxious.

TDL I think the issue of a free bar and more toilets will be discussed at the next meeting I'm sure that it is for all the committe to decide on what happens next.

As one of the organisers I would like to apologise for any offence caused. I hope that Septembers Knockholt will be better as it a quieter event in any case.
