O.K. Billy, what I think you need to do is find out if there is a Law Centre in your area, these are run on sort of pro bono terms and may not charge you for advice or a letter. Ask your local library is they have or can get you a contact address and telephone number if one exists. A good thing would be to get your witnesses to make notes and get all your membership docs together so you have somewhere the Law Centre has to start from. I really think you are going to need help with this.

Gordon, this is really kind of you to try and help. Have you any Idea, how I could find out these kind of things about the club. I think the guy in question is just a committee member, he usually sits at the door and gives out tickets. The club is a Miners Welfare, think it would be a private club. I pay a yearly sub, to be a club member. I have been in touch with the CAB this very morning, but the only advice, they could offer, is to either contact the police, write a letter of complaint, or go visit a lawyer. As I have mentioned. I don't want to take this to the police, or a lawyer, where it will cost an arm and a leg, just to get them to compose a letter of complaint. I must admit, I was disapointed in the responce from CAB.
