I agree about the regular meeting place, even though we are starting to try
and get a Dsitrict provision working my Unit still want their thursday
nights at the HQ, its more important to them to spend time with their mates
than mixing with others, who in the fullness of time might become mates but
you can't force that.

We seriously considered moving HQ when we had our problems with chavs last
Easter, its a shame that it didn't work out they just wanted a laugh and to
use the HQ as a drop in centre, which would be fine if we had the leaders
and when we laid the line down to shape up or ship out they just carried on
coming until we wrote to their parents demanding two terms subs. We haven't
seen any of them since.
