Subject: RE: Herga Mummers illegal Boxing Day Tour
Thanks to all who turned out to see us.

Quick correction - it is one of our regular "fans" who is a local cousellor and sits on the Licensing Committee (not himself a Licensing Officer) who confirmed that most pubs who have applied for an entertainments licence have ticked all the boxes, including plays, as it is as easy as not doing so. Isn't that what the government said would happen? :-)

Kitty pointed out that I shouldn't really drop the pub managers in the proverbial by publicly announcing that we may be breaking the law. Good point that I had considered but I gave in to temptation and used a controversial title to raise the profile of the thread. I couldn't see anyone getting more than a slap on the wrist this year, and that is highly unlikely. In any case all managers had agreed and I assume that they are well briefed on the law.

Liz - feel free to rewrite the play in ambic pentameter if you wish. We know you're the literary one - see the last of the 2003 pictures on the web site.

First pictures of yesterday will be on the web site within an hour. More to follow.
