Not necessarily. There's legislation going through and there will be a final ruling on petfairs sometime (I think 2009 ish) they may or may not be deemed unlawful.

but at the moment they actually are cunlawful unless its a membership only meeting , the law stems back to the 80's and has yet to be amended.....so it makes more sense to wait and see the ammended act in black and white, I have been told that this will be done in late 2008/early 2009 and that was by DEFRAs legal department.

anyway crossing bridges and all that........


push comes to shove we have an RFUK members only meeting

That's how I hear it too. It could deem set guidelines for the running of shows or it could outlaw them altogether....only time will tell. People currently get round it by offering temporary membership (for the day) with the entrance fee lol.

Could we not have a members meet where we have to provide rfuk membership details. like the premium membership a lot of us have signed up for.
Just a thought,

If it was well publicised couldn't people who have cars offer lifts to those who have for 1/2 the cost of petrol to get there (or a 1/3 if there are two people getting lifts and so on..)

Also a midlands type meet would be fairest on everyone, wouldn't it?

I think 200 may be a little small.

Will the RFUK fair have an off topic area and 18+ too?

I'd turn up I drive too and won't mind taking people

My older brother met loads of people at a meeting thing for his online roleplaying game, I forget the name now lol he was really into it. But they had like a huge field with tents and things, like these concerts do. Just hire a field and erect big tents, people camp out and it's like a weekend thing.
