use the private message facility to send the number to people you know
it you put the partyline number up here it endangers you, this site and the organisers, you are basically admitting in public to being part of a group organising an unlicensed event. Since 2004 all UK authorities have massively stepped up enforcement against illegal raves, using all parts of criminal and civil law against them and trying to recover all costs caused by a rave.
putting up a partyline number now lets the cops know which mobile network(s) are being used and they can have the number shut down or calls to the number tracked (they do not need a warrant to check which numbers are calling it, the only need one to monitor voice!). they have an agreement with mobile firms that cops can get an order from Ofcom to shut down or disrupt any number being used for illegal purposes.
Welsh cops are more “high-tech literate” than English ones – I suppose they have to have something more interesting (and emotionally fulfulling) to occupy themselves than dealing with multiple fatal RTCs, domestic violence, drink-related crime and lost/stolen livestock.
the party scene in Wales has only grown recently because crews from England with more money and kit are moving there, having been driven from their own manors by hostile Police action and gang violence at their raves.
At the moment (possibly due to geography – hills and valley soak up noise!) this isn’t causing a big problem, but Welsh people (quite rightly) have a good sense of national pride and identity and will get angry if they feel they are being “invaded” by a noisy nuisance from England. At least one rave in a badly chosen area resulted in a mini-riot with a cop being permanently disabled and a whole area becoming totally anti-rave….
Don’t think either that cops may be lenient because it is NYE; one English force deliberately shut down all the raves in their area just before midnight to “show that these events would not be permitted”
So its best to tread carefully across the valleys, that way you will not end up falling over in the sheep shit.
Incidentally yhere are a number of Welsh people on this board who may be interested in the number…
