Thread Name: PELs: Exemptions?
Subject: RE: PELs: Exemptions?
Note - you are preaching to the converted in my case!!

Simply pointing out that people have received what is to them a convincing explanation that on the surface quiet reasonable - two people who were worried enough to write to their MPs took the trouble to come back to me and show me the letters allowing me to explain the anomalies and what had been left out of the letter... How many will receive such letters and not think to take it any further????

Thursday at The Steamer showed that many folky's were not aware of the current laws let alone the new proposals - likewise several landlords in the area are misinformed - two quotes from the day....

"It's alright for sessions in pubs without a licence as long as everyone is sat down" - musician of 30years

"Jam sessions don't need a license - your OK" - Landlord of Blackpool Town Centre Pub where a weekly sessions is advertised.


Let's ensure the information that we give out isn't exaggerated to have more effect on the people we are trying get to support us - let Dr Kim do that in his comments - The actual proposals are, as has been said are enough to convince people..... No scare mongering just facts...............
