Unfortunately, much like any "game" you need to know the "rules". Don't always assume that those who appear to be in charge of the game know the "rules"

BDG.

I would write and send by reodrd delivery a letter making an enquiry about the events you were involved in.

I believe ChrisW is right abouty the possibility of deferment of any "inspection"

Those running game make an assumption that you don't know the "rules"

In this day and age the "rules" are so complicated that it is very difficult to remember what they are and be able to trot 'em out verbatim. However the plus side to this is that those running the game are often no better at knowing the rules and can be defeated in the game by someone who who knows the "rules" better than they do.

Like any game If you get beaten due in some part to a lack of knowledge of the "rules" it cam pay off to be better prepared for the next game.

PS its no good calling on the ref. AKA the magaistrates, on the whole they don't know the rules any better and almost invariably take the side with the other game officials.

PPS I am supporter of the awkward squad.

PPPS Yes I AM BECOMING a GRUMPY OLD MAN!

There was recently a call to bikers to take steps to make motorcycling a religion, it's not as daft as it may sound and would go some way to making it more difficult for bikers to be singled out for things such as roadside checks, etc, etc.

How about if we were to all write to the local council saying that we will not now be visiting their area for a weekend break due to the heavy handed police action. This will therefore deprive the local hotel and guest house industry of vital income, as well as restaurants, cafe's, clubs etc. We should suggest that they would benefit from the cash injection and if they cannot do something about the situation then we will have to look for other areas of the country for our holidays.
Maybe a mail shot to local business, hotels etc pointing this out might be an idea.
Pressure from local councilors often gets results especially when they are worried about loosing votes.
