Our usual meeting time, is the last Saturday of a month.
November <<<<<<<<< NORMAL MEETING !
Usual Time Usual Place
Location :The Castle
Start time : 4.30 on to 6.30If you are not sure who we are...ask at the bar: relax, it is a friendly place.
If a short guy with reddish face is outside smoking a cigar, that is likely to me, Talisker, your host.
Dress code : casual, leather, collars OK here. BUT this is a social (non-play) Munch so if you like wearing fetish, do bear in mind we go off to eat in vanilla restaurants!
Please note that the Castle Tavern *no longer* serves food ! and of course is now also a non-smoking venue.
Food after the main part :wherever takes our fancy from 6.30 ish.
This time : Probably Lebanese. This month marks a significant  birthday for Talisker, who may be in a more skittish and playful mood as a consequence 
Payment : we all pay for own consumption (food and drink)so come prepared.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SAFETY NOTE:
New-comers to the meeting are invited to use common-sense in not sharing private contact details too freely. This is a very friendly group, but there can appear to be lots of pressure to make contact. Take your time, caution and care is always recommended.If in doubt about anyone,ask the HOST.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Talisker? Look for the guy with the beard, and reddish face.

It has sadly been brought to our attention that 2 things are happening,which for want of a better word amounts to discrimination.
Some Yahoo Munch groups are being closed without warning:censorship pure and simple, against responsible adults who go to great pains to ensure that only adults can join our discussions. We take personal responsibility very seriously, and in this modern age, it is just offensive to ban groups, purely on the basis of their private sexual practices.
Some Munch groups have also been outed in local newspapers with nothing better to do than write "perves meet in pub to discuss kinky things".
We are adults. We are entitled to privacy. The pub management are aware of us, and if you ( a journo ) pops along, all you will find will be friendly people chatting,drinking,joking,talking.
All relationships work around Trust. Coming in,disguising your intentions,and then publishing, abuses that trust,offends and hurts individuals,and certainly invades our privacy.We are aware and alert to suspicious strangers.
There are more offensive meetings in pubs across the land:political groups for example (and no, I'm not mentioning which parties!).I used to have respect for responsible journalism, sadly that is getting dented these days.
We meet like this (in a private pub room) for 2 simple reasons. 1. Some people are shy and we want to encourage friendships. 2. We are responsible. Adult discussions should be kept away from teenagers.
If you want to run a headline, try : Responsible,sensible adults meet in pub for a drink.

Munch Guidelines : Good Behaviour
|
The munch is not a pick up joint for sex or play. Anyone persisting in unwarranted advances or predatory behaviour will be asked to leave. It is a place for making friends and relaxing.
The munch is strictly vanilla; that is to say, fetish wear and scening are not encouraged. Collars and similar items you normally wear however are permitted. If you are a CD or TV, please only come dressed if you are comfortable being seen in public dressed (probably not a good thing to be 'outed' when you don't want to be *s* )
Although the management are aware of who we are and why we are there, the pub is open to the general public and you are expected to behave and dress as such. Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. Remember that we are all adults and you are expected to behave like one - this is a fun social night out.
Your behaviour may affect future munches in our venue.
Please remember that everyone that attends a munch should be a responsible adult. If you decide to exchange personal details or meet in private, the munch organiser and attendants can not be held responsible for your actions. It is not the organisers duty to vet people, you are encouraged to only give out a Hotmail (or similar) email address and/or a mobile phone number, and set up a safe call for any real life meetings.
Your Munch Host will clearly announce when he is departing the premises.
If you have any complaints or problems and a polite word with the person in question does not suffice, please talk to the munch organiser immediately who will deal with the situation discreetly and appropriately. We want everyone to enjoy the munch and we will aim to help where we can.
Not everyone that attends the munch is a BDSM lifestyler and all are welcome. However, please note that this munch is mainly for people with an interest in BDSM, if you have no interest in Bondage, D/s and/or S/M, a munch probably isn’t for you.
