Guys, MANY MANY thanks from Eleanor and I for your support in this
Casman, to have gone to such lengths is truly touching and I will be sure to show your post to Eleanor later today as we are currently running around with an 11 year olds birthday party!!
Seriously, we are really touched for all the support
We cannot post URLs in the forum - but if you do a google search for Independent Midwifes Petition - It comes out at the top of the list
Thank you all
Eleanor and Steve

Dear All
We would like to ask our friends and indeed, everyone, on the site to please spare us 2 minutes of your time
As some of you know, Eleanor has been an Independent Midwife for the past 2.5 years and that she love the way she works and what she does.
Sadly, her way of
working is now under threat. You may have heard on
Woman's Hour this week or from other sources that
Independent Midwifery is currently under threat as the
government has decided to make Professional Indemnity
Insurance mandatory for all Health Professionals by
2008-09.
Independent Midwives are unable to obtain this Insurance
globally, and the government is currently not
considering offering us such insurance but
rather to force us back into the NHS or make us
redundant!
THIS IS A REAL CRISIS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE DEATH OF
INDEPENDENT MIDWIFERY AND
AN END TO CHOICE FOR WOMEN
The Independent Midwives Association is rolling out a
national campaign to save
Independent Midwifery on the 12th March. We are
approaching newspapers, radio,
TV and the government, writing letters and press
releases, but Eleanor needs your help.
We have set up a
petition online which we are urging everyone to sign,
please contact friends, relatives and anyone else who
will support our campaign!
Please be assured that signing this petition will NOT compromise your identity, your mail and personal address is NOT recorded
I know all of your lives are busy but I would really
appreciate your help.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Hi guys
As some of you may know we are arranging a meet in portsmouth
We are arranging a drunken, partying, sexy evening of fun for all who wish to come along, at a pub venue in Portsmouth, for St Patricks Night. The pub is fantastic and will be a proper eye-opener for all who come along!!!...and the music, will be fantastic, as its Steves Irish band doing the do!!!
At the moment, we have 55 people expressed an interest in attending with just over 20 confirmed as attending....
The evening is open to all who want to come and we will arrange for details of local and closest hotel for all to stay in - the chosen hotel is 2 minutes from the actual venue...
Most if not all of the folk attending are members of the other site we are members of...Though one or 6 are members here too!!
If you are up for it, then drop us a line and we will get all the details off to you
Please bear in mind, that there is quite alot of effort goes into sorting out a meet like this, not least of which is confirming that couples ARE couples,and we are getting to the stage where we cannot deal with people wanting details on the off chance that they might be able to make it, as its too much to try and keep a handle on...So PLEASE only respond if you have actually got your babysitter sorted, you are both able to come, etc, etc
Later all
Steve and ELeanor

Quick Update
From this site:
Mel and Gavs
Fuzzypocket
Steve and Eleanor
Razor and Lou
Tallulah (possible)
Hornyandboots
From the other site, we have 4 couples, 2 single guys and 1 single female
So its shaping up to be a laugh
So, all you Southern lot who moan about having to travel up North for meets, heres your chance...
To just reiterate a little, whilst its a Gay Pub, it most certainly is NOT entirely men, or entirely gay...and if i hadnt told you - you most probably wouldnt have realised!!

As an aside, we are liasing with the local swingers club down here (Over in Southampton) to see if they are planning a party for March the 17th
If they are, then we may be able to sort out some discount for those who wish to go from the gig to the club!
The distance from the pub to the club, is about 45 minutes and whilst our own preference would be to just Travelodge it, we are open to suggestions and will go with the wishes of the majority

As long as Steve aint gigging and Eleanor is not birthing a woman, then we most probably would be up for coming!
Just a suggestion, but perhaps we could either start and stop at the Hard Rock (the place we ended up at last time) or start very close to the Hard Rock and just go there a little earlier.
That pub seemed good fun, with quite a bit of room....even if it was smoke bombed!!!

Hi all
Steves band are playing at a gay pub in Hampshire for St Patricks Night and as his band are a slightly more pissed version of the Pogues, its gonna be a great, fun and drunken evening
We are gonna enhance the afternoon and evening by inviting along anyone who fancies some drunken debauchery
We aint looking to be the hostess with the mostests, though....
We are more than happy to arrange the night, let everyone know where its gonna be, and arrange for any discounts at the local travelodge, assuming we have some degree of interest, but after that we would hope that everyone will be able to interact without any huge effort on our part...as Steve will be on the stage for the majority of the night, and its a bit unfair to leave it all to Eleanor.....
But its a cracking cracking venue where we have played many times before, and we CAN guarantee you all a fabulous and fun night....

We aint a million miles away from you hon, and we are a friendly couple who have been in the scene for just over a year now, so have most of the answers. It will only cost you the price of petrol to come down and have a laugh, a few drinks and learn a few things about the scene.....and who knows, you might even like us, cos we are likeable to some....well, a few....well, one or two....well, we like us!!
Having canvassed half of the hotels in London, it would appear that our best bet is the Farringdon Travelodge:
10 - 42 Kings Cross Road
London WC1X 9QN
Tel: Fax: At the time of enquiring they have 30 odd rooms available for March 17th at a price of 71 quid per room
Whilst this is not the quietest hotel in London (the road traffic noise outside can, apparently go on for a while) as a group we are not reknowned for wandering around quietly in our slippers, so we feel that this is probably our best (and cheapest) option
It is only 1.9 miles from the gig venue too, so either walkable if you aint in thigh length 12 inch heels or a few quid in a Joe.
Its also relatively close, a few 100 meters from Kings Cross Station for those clued up enough to be getting the choo choo down
Do let us know when you have booked your room, so that we can keep an handle on things
See u there, with yer bestest Irish Jig legs on!

Ive traced my family tree back to the 1600s and theres not a single reference to Culloden anywhere in my immediate family, so IF we come up - can I be assured that I wont get my head kicked in?? :-))
Its in the Calendar and we will be flying up from Southampton!!
Ive also bought my Phrase Book!!!
See you guys in March

Hiya, assuming Eleanor doesnt book any birthing women for around that time, we would love to come.
As there *is* always a possibility that there will be birthing women, we would not want to take one of the sought after places at the swingy hotel, thats probably best left for a couple definately able to make it. We will find our own accomodation, close to the swingy hotel, once its is known

We had a fantastic time and it was well worth the journey up! Great to finally meet everyone in the flesh, even if we didnt *actually* meet ANYONE in the flesh due to Eleanor feeling decidely worse for wear from Smoke Inhalation!! Of particular note during the evening were the fabulously friendly Mr and Mrs KCManc, Mr Leagues "is he or isnt he" Kilt (He wasnt!)Just as Eleanor had told me the identity of the couple she had felt ought to be our victims, so the smoke decended and that was the end of that...But who were that couple who had such a lucky escape??...and *why* did God choose to punish us at just that moment??...So is life!
We are planning to end up at Swingers Junction (local swinging club) and kind of thought it might be nice to meet up with a couple initially for a few beers and then go along together and have a laugh.....
So, if you are down this way and at a loose end...give us a shout!

A-ah!!!....Kept this quiet!!...And by that we mean we didnt even know there was a forum.
We are coming up before then anyways (if all goes according to the plan) so will hopefully have met you anyways, but if not, this will be as good a reason as any to visit
See you guys xxx

NOT THE HORSE AND JOCKEY, though, eh??
