Knife in the hat

Of course, I should have realised

And they are....?

When booking a venue for a meet up a name is normaly required. Thus the EMCCU was formed so that we had a name to book venues with and also membership cards were produced. The idea of the cards was so that we could explain to any police who might stop us why we were carrying so many sharp things.

Let me know the date when confirmed! I hold out no special hopes - but if I'm in the area...

Mind you, I might have to RMSD my knives to someone and get them RMSD'd back if I came. You can just hear the Tannoy announcement at Inverness. "Would the knife wielding maniac on the Sheffield flight come forward and identify his luggage"...

I'm in if it lines up with one of my weekends home.

Last night after I originally posted I thought I had better look at the fixture list for CFC and the 26 Nov is a home game. Now this might just be me being over cautious but I wonder if a busy pre Christmas Saturday added with the extra police presence that a game brings is actually the best time to get a local publican to let a bunch of knife collectors loose on their premises.

There is also the point that quite a few folks will be using the train as transport probably at the same sort of times as the away supporters, even with an EMCCU card I would hate to have to explain to the local plod exactly what I was doing with a backpack full of knives whilst in the midst of a crowd of footy supporters.

It is with this in mind that I was thinking about suggesting moving the date back by one week. Also this way the EMCCU meet-up does not coincide with Colins Hammerin

So what does everyone think

[Stephen63]

Great idea - I'll be able to come then

Seriously, Rogan, a very sensible note of caution.

Works for me.

I need to check the calendar but should be OK for me.

p.s. Having said that, I'll try and get her to drive so I can sample the real ale...there WILL be Real Ale won't there?.....

Yes real ale will definateley be a factor in choosing the venue. I have three pubs shortlisted so now its just down to making the calls

[Danzo]

The date is good, let's get organising! And we shall have a conkers match!
