Subject: RE: mentally ill club regulars
and of course most of us club organisers must be a sandwich short of a picnic to carry on doing it!

Serioulsy though, we have, on occasions, had to deal with with behaviour which one can only describe as inapproprite. Up to now we have been able to handle it and, because it is often alcohol induced, managed to get the situation under control by sitting with the offender in another part of the pub until such a time as they go home or get better. The only time I have had a brush with non-drink induced psychosis the same pattern seemed to work. Quiet room, quiet chat. Difficult, especialy when irrationality kicks in, but we persevered and eventualy sorted it out.

Cheers
