....But why would we want to book a firm of solicitors?


Oh, to get us out of jail when we get arrested for organising a Rave and disturbing the peace.

Had a message from SteveP. He says at the original meet they got moved on by the police so we could be better off finding a different venue. Any ideas?

What if we just went from a pub to the camp site?

....No, unless SteveP spoke to them separately (which I do not recall seeing) we did not get moved on by the Police. They appeared in an unmarked car because a neighbour had expressed concern at seeing so many cars suddenly turn up. I was the one who spoke to the Police and they were satisfied that we were not misbehaving. I assured them that we were gathering for photography. I also informed them about my missing number plate before they spotted it.

But there is no doubt that with even more cars turning up this time, neighbouring residents may be concerned again and that it would depend on the individual Police officers attitude whether we got moved on - Very likely perhaps. Unmarked guys are often much more tolerant in my experience.

But it's sensible good advice from SteveP that we may be moved on.

Fair enough Robin. There is a risk we wi get moved on wherever we go.

I still have no information as to the actual location of the original meet though. Any help would be appreciated. Even if a rough area could be given so i can try and spot the original car park o google maps lol.

I think the danger is the anti rave laws.

It doesn't matter if your not if the police think you are its all over.

Yes i know its stafford, Ian is sorting a nearby campsite. But there are lots of industrial estates in stafford.

I dont live anywhere near stafford so cant have a look for places to meet. Any ideas are welcome  :happy2:

....Unfortunately that is the reality.

I don't know the 'anti rave laws', nor when a private gathering is deemed to be either illegal or an illegal rave. This is how the big all-night clubs were born - The raves had to be taken indoors where they could be more controlled.

A really big public car park would surely be ok to meet and start off with and have photography. And then, as the member with Hoo Hoo Dillies suggests, a private field somewhere for camping etc.

But even a field owner might quite reasonably insist that no open fires were built directly on the ground. We used to take dustbin lids (metal of course!). Dustbin lid raid on the locals, anyone?

I know a really big village cricket field in Dorset (a flat and very large field which very amateur cricket is played on) and the owners are used to lots of cars and tents on it too. But it's way down south in the UK and so too far for many folks.

Just a suggestion

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,50722.0.html

This car park was brilliant. The owner apparently agreed that it was fine for it to be held there or something along those lines. Could be checked out if the location seems ok  :happy2:
