Hopefully nothing to do with 'Liberation Task Force' I refuse to comply with or have anything to do his antics Ron
Are you meaning Dave King, Ron? If so I think you will find that all ties between him and LTF have been cut, or so I am led to believe. So in my mind LTF as an event organiser have a better bill of health and credibility than when he was with them

If you want to help the organisers and make it 'simple' for them then offer to help in some capacity...don't hinder them by not bothering to comply with the stated requirements yet still turn up expecting to be included...
Shame it's so easy to be critical but so difficult to actually contribute something meaningful...Ian
