How did none SH members get in to a munch?
I thought munches were by invite only via pm or similar, and in a 'closed' venue
May be someone can clarify the munch rules for me, on 'vanilla' attendance
Thank you
I take it that munches are completely "family friendly"?
Plymgal here mentions she brought her daughter & niece along, and in the London mini-munch discussion someone mentioned their daughter was there. Is this the norm (assuming I guess that said daughters & nieces weren't actually 16+ and part of the scene themselves!)?
I was at the london mini-munch and there was no1 under 18 there and there were no mothers and daughters.
If a mention was made it was made in a joke sence. To behonest vanilla's should not come to munchs as it can compromise the event to media and unwelcome members.

just to say devon 1 (the organiser one of the munch) said last night that any future devon munch will be at a booked venue.
and of course that is what you expect
remember this was only the second devon munch to be fair
Well it seems I have caused a stir here .. I have to hold my hand up and say it was me that phoned Sarah at this morning to tell her about the munch .. it was meant to be a friendly chat about how it went.
I did mention to her that I heard some of the regular SH members saying they were concerned at the number of 'Vanillas' (sorry but I think thats a terrible term) in the room as there did seem to be rather a lot at the end of the evening but I certainly didn't leave the Munch cause of them .. I left cause I had brought a friend with me who is a member of the group and she had fallen ill so I took her home .. thats the only reason I left.
I could see the potential for problems as a lot were local people coming to their regular pub and with it being Halloween I think more people were there than usual ... I think some of the regulars saw us as intrusive on their home patch but as Vix said we all tried to smooth things over and there certainly wasn't any trouble and as far as I can tell it was a good night.
I have spoken to Devon 1 and he says he has learnt lessons from this and any more Munches in Plymouth will be done differently. He is fine about it all and if you look you will see my name is on the Wigan list so I am not scared off by last nights experience.
I am sorry if I offend anyone with this post but I want to get the record straight before it all excelerates into a storm in a teacup.
