Frenzy officially becomes a religion in response to Bournemouth Council's recent ruling on flyering

Frenzy, the popular and nationally renowned hard house event from Bournemouth, has this week announced that it has officially become a religion. This announcement is in response to Bournemouth Borough Council’s recent legislation that bans the distribution and flyering of marketing materials on the streets unless a license is purchased, plus express permission granted from the council to do so.

Hahahaha!!! Awesome stuff!!!

Well done for getting round them - top notch!

I have always believed the law should be slave to the people not people slave to the law - make use of the law and it's interpretations for your advantage! Fair play for this one.

It was great to hear Frenzy's press officer Dr Evil on the airwaves this morning.

I'm not sure what the majority of the god fearing population will think of him comparing flyering for Frenzy like the initial pioneers of Christianity and the Bible being pressed up... but hey, it's all good fun.

On a more serious note (because there is one here), this did obviously start out very tongue in cheek but it's now been picked up by a few papers and radio stations.

Ultimately we're taking a stand, albeit a small one, against a ruling that will permit extreme and sometimes offensive political and religious groups to freely canvas to the Bournemouth public, yet places restrictions on those who are supporting the ailing night-time economy.

Very true!

If you don't make the clubbers stay in the local area they will only spend their money outside of Bournemouth for their clubbing fix and the council wouldn't like that in the long run.

thats where you are wrong that is exactly what the blazer wearing killjoys at the council want is for all young people to not have any fun. The council spent all their marketing budget trying to promote the town to the 40s-60's market as they have this distorted vision of bournemouth being like a 1950's picture postcard seaside town but its not going to happen as the 40s 60s market are off travelling the world on cheap airfares. so thats your council tax down the drain and now they are trying to stifle small businesses by banning street promotion it is frankly outrageous, I could not believe my eyes when I saw that the council had even made up traffic warden style outfits for their "civil enforcement officers" (think gestapo) to hand out fines to peole flyering, well they can't stop frenzy now it has divine status the bastards

Crazy mofo... They obviously need a kick up the arse. What lot are in charge in your area? In Portsmouth we have the Lib Dems sitting the most number of seats I believe and it seems like they don't believe in any club having a later licence than 4am and then only if they are a commercial club owned by Luminer etc.

Ermm... well what can I say. The whole turning into a religion thing went a little bit off the scale to say the least.

The Good News

The good news is that there's a film crew coming to Frenzy on Friday night to record the clubbers and DJs for a new club TV channel.

The Bad News

The bad news is that a religious group today has stated they will be making a demonstration on the night outside the club.

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing - you can see there website on blessed-evangelists.net where they state their intentions.
