Before I go out may I try to summarise what the argument is about?

It appears that we agree on all points bar one. What to do about performers who CONSISTANTLY put in a poor show. There are many areas in between but it seems to me that there are three major contenders -

1. They are stopped from performing regularly at the club until they improve. (Jim Carroll)

2. They are allowed to perform but only in restricted circimstances (el Gnomo) and

3. They can continue performing as long as they want. (Snail)

If this is the case, and I accept I may have summarised incorrectly, then surely all three methodologies work in different circusmstances as we can all prove with our own evidence.

Does anyone here believe that their way is the best? I think not. Does anyone think it is the only way? Nope.

What on earth are we arguing about then?

I would like answers to both Jims and Bryans questions though - It is important as club organisers that we use each others experiences and knowledge to help run our own clubs better!

Cheers
