    It really wouldn't be a surprise if someone tried to impersonate a member in order to get entry for a wide range of reasons from stalking to theft.

    All more than good enough. If someone brings some decent speakers it will save me lugging mine down


    As for the corporatism, we made the same rule for MiBO. Like MiBO this is a free event, you can make a contribution to the room hire cost if you wish, it's up to you. There's no sponsorship or anything like that, this is just a meet-up for enthusiasts.

    It would be a surprise, it hasn't happened yet in years of doing these things.

    If nothing else it will deter anyone trying to come in off street and messing with stuff. Better safe than sorry, that's why invitations are given out at most do's

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Pretty much, it's a lot of responsibility to organise these things and regrettably there are always a few weirdos or types with chips on their shoulders who could potentially decide to turn up just to try to ruin it; although that's never happened yet I don't see the value in not taking precautions.


    If anyone wants to organise an event that is open to everyone to just walk in off the street then there's nothing stopping them, and they'd be welcome to promote it here.
