If you want to access the London Furs forum, you will need to first register for the UKFur forums, which you can do at http://forum.ukfur.org/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00

Once registered with UKFur, you can access the London Furs forum at http://forum.ukfur.org/index.php?showforum=21

I'm not on the staff for the London Furs, but so far as I'm aware, all are welcome to turn up to the meets - more information can be found using the links above.

Have you actually signed up to the UKFur forums? I think that's probably where you should be looking for info and other random topics (much like the ones you're leaving everywhere here).

LondonFur Meets: Terms, Conditions and Code of Conduct
aka "The Exasperated Organisers' Guide to Common Sense, First Edition"


    Londonfur meets are essentially a private party in a private venue, but open to all furries and their guests, not the general public. Whilst we wish these events to be 'managed' as loosely as possible, a few rules and regulations are required in order to safeguard the future of the events, the safety of the attendees, the reputations of all concerned and to satisfy all relevant legal obligations. Hopefully they should all be common sense.

    There will be no-one on the door, no bag searches or personal pat-downs. You are being trusted to abide by the rules. Should people be found to be breaking the rules, expect to be reprimanded. A 'three strikes and you're out' policy shall be enforced, except for extreme circumstances (assault, sexual abuse, use of drugs etc) where an instant ban shall be enforced.

    Entering the Londonfur's venue shall be taken as you giving your agreement to abide by all the requirements set out here, and to follow the guidance meted out by nominated staff members, either LondonFur staff or bar staff.

    In all cases, the following shall apply:

       1. No-one under the age of sixteen shall be permitted to enter the venue or the outside seating area.
       2. No-one under the age of eighteen is to consume alcohol, and no-one is to knowingly purchase alcohol for someone under the age of eighteen.
       3. Alcohol not purchased on the premises is not to be consumed on the premises. General food and soft drinks not purchased on the premises are not to be consumed on the premises, though exclusions are possible (bottled water for fursuiters, home baked cake products) with prior approval from the bar staff.
       4. Alcohol to be consumed in moderation — please do not get yourselves into a position where you are going to become a liability to yourself or others. Just know your limits.
       5. The possession, use or sale of illicit substances is expressly forbidden. Offenders can expect the police to be notified.
       6. Attendees of the meets are expected to behave in a manner conducive to that of a public place. Please do not partake in anything that could be reasonably construed as an affront to public decency or in contravention to the Public Order Act. If you want more information as to what this entails exactly then please contact a member of the meet staff. Common sense here is paramount.
       7. Remember that your personal preferences and fetishes may offend those who do not share them. Collars may be worn discreetly. Leashes, bondage and BDSM clothing may not.
       8. Do not bring weapons, or items that could reasonably be construed as a weapon, onto the premises.


    In addition to the above you are to adhere to all relevant legal regulations, venue rules, and the requests of the bar staff.

    How the "Three Strikes" Policy works:

        * First strike — verbal warning
        * Second strike — final verbal warning and 'name 'n' shame'
        * Third strike — ban.


    Ban lengths will be determined by staff dependent on the frequency and severity of the problem. The likes of abuse of drugs or other serious offences are likely to result in an instant permanent ban.

    We hope that everyone attending the meets has a good time and enjoys themselves. However, if someone's behaviour is upsetting or offending you then please make this known to said person. If they do not cease and desist, make the issue known immediately to a member of staff, who will deal with it.

    Alternatively, speak to a staff member initially if you would prefer to. Waiting until a time after the event makes it much more difficult for the staff to address the issue adequately. Please make yourself known at the time of the issue arising.

    The staff are:

        * Agrajag
        * Bariki
        * Branded Bunni
        * Lupus Londonwolf
        * Miles
        * Miyabi



    You can find out more about the committee here.

    They're also contactable using the email address meets@londonfurs.org.uk


Fursuiter & Furwalk Code of Conduct


    All Fursuit Walkers
    You are in public even more than usual. You are de-facto ambassadors for Londonfurs, the public face of the community. You actions and conduct on a furwalk is even more important than your conduct in the meet venue. You will be what the public remember – make damn sure it’s a good memory.

    Fursuiter

        * No ‘anatomically correct’ or ‘modified’ fursuits (in the reproductive department before anyone gets smart) are welcome at the meets unless said modifications are able to be hidden under clothing to an extent that makes them invisible – i.e. tight shorts with big bulges are not acceptable.
        * No overt bondage equipment is to be worn or used by fursuiters in either the venue or on a walk – collars and leashes are acceptable (within reason – if you don’t know what that means then PM an organiser) but anything else, like harnesses/ball gags/ hand cuffs etc are not
        * Fursuiters must have at least a publically acceptable level of personal hygiene. Please make sure you, and your suit, are clean – fursuiting is a sweaty business especially in summer and we do not want the venue smelling like death
        * The organisers will know as to if/when a fursuit walk will be commencing. It is up to you as a fursuiter to determine when this is by asking them and to ensure you are suited in time – we are not your mum.
        * If you need a handler then arrange one – you are your own responsibility no-one else will do it for you
        * If you need water on a walk then arrange it – no-one else will do it for you and you are your own responsibility
        * You are responsible for your own safety, including returning to the venue and for keeping up with the walk. If you are incapable of doing this yourself then it is up to you to make prior arrangements
        * YOU ARE IN PUBLIC. DO NOT ACT IN A WAY THAT COULD BRING LONDONFURS INTO DISREPUTE
        * DO NOT ACT IN PUBLIC WITH ANYONE IN A WAY THAT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS SEXUAL. THIS INCLUDES FURPILES IN PUBLIC, GROPING AND GRINDING.


    If in doubt imagine not being in suit and doing it and decide whether it contravenes the Public Order Act.

    Non-Fursuiters on Fursuit Walk

        * Be aware you’re walking with people with limited senses when in suit. Do not push past them in narrow areas when rushing through the crowd to catch up with your friend group as they won’t be expecting it. Be considerate. Just be aware that a suiter probably won’t know you’re about to do something so try not to surprise them – push/pull/jump on etc.
        * You are even more public than the suiters. The public will always remember the funny side of animal costumes but they won’t when it comes to large groups of loud people.
        * Keep the running about, screaming, shouting, swearing and general lairy behaviour to a minimum. You’re not a football crowd.
        * Do not interact with fursuiters in any way that could possibly be construed as sexual. Hugging and such are ok but fondling, groping and other such actions really aren’t.


    Ask yourself the question “Would this be acceptable if one/both/all of us weren’t in suit” If the answer could be no then do not do it. Do not do anything that could damage the reputation of the community otherwise you’ll find us unwelcome in the area that’s currently our home.


Artist and Artists' Corner Code of Conduct


    At the moment it is only one point long and to be honest I'm really surprised that this has been going on.

       1. All artwork of an adult nature (yiff, anatomically correct nudes, vore etc) if brought to a meet must be kept in a folder and not displayed on tables for all to see.


    Meets contain attendees under the age of eighteen, as well as non-furry barstaff, who should not be viewing this material, not-to-mention others who do not wish to see this material.

    If you want clarification as to what constitutes adult art then contact one of the organisers. This is by no means a ban on people bringing adult art, just a ban on its public display. However, please refrain from drawing anything in public which falls into the adult bracket - a Londonfur meet really isn't the place for it.
