Advice sought...

[denny]

So, a friend of mine (no, really, it's not me :) ) is looking at hopefully opening up a fetish night, possibly in a dedicated club, possibly not. However, he's somewhat concerned about the legal position. He's of the opinion that the police in his target town are probably going to go with the letter of the law, rather than turning a blind eye to anything that's not actively causing trouble, so he really needs to know what the legal position actually is. Personally, I don't have a clue - I'm of the belief that most events are getting away with dungeons and swinging rooms/areas because the police in their town are turning a blind eye as long as no-one gets hurt/complains/whatever - but that's just my guess, I don't know.

I do know that at least a couple of people reading this have run fetish clubs in the past, or are involved with their running now, and of course quite a few of us are keen attenders of such events. Hopefully some of you can offer advice, or somewhere I can point my friend where he can get the definitive word on what is and is not allowed.

Many thanks for any input anyone can give...
