Thread Name: PELs: Exemptions?
Subject: RE: PELs: Exemptions?
Actually that amendment I suggested would cover "Morris Dancers, Carol Singers, Mummers etc" so long as their primary purpose was mutual enjoyment, which I'd have thought is normally the case. (There's no mention of "music" as such.)

And it was just words of the top of my head, and there's no im plication on my lat that they are the last words. The point I was making was that it wouldn't take much of an amendment to drastically change the impact of the Bill from something that is restrictive to something that would have the effect of significantly expanding our freedom.

As for the mass electrified jam problem, that should be dealt with by noise and nuisance rules, in the very same way as an overamplified Televised Rock Concert, for example. The laws for that are already in place.
