Ive just seen this on TA:

""The administration in Calvia have proudly announced that pub-crawls are now legalised.

From now on anyone organising a pub-crawl must be registered with the town hall for social security, fully authorised and have civil insurance to cover alcohol induced comas, accidents and damages.

Failure to adhere to these conditions could mean unlimited fines and a possible prison sentence.

From this season, all pub-crawls will be led by a guide and you will have to pay a set fee for the privilege.

Will Magaluf ever be the same again and is it time for the youngsters seeking fun just to move on to somewhere new.

The worlds gone mad!!!!""

Now, as you all know I have (like Daryn) been coming to Mallorca since the 80s, and even back then, i thought it was a swizz, if I ever wanted a pub crawl, I would do it with my mates in my own time. To be told what bar to go in, how long you can be there for and pay for the priviledge doesn't sound like fun to me!! Bloody rip off, always have been!

Don't get me wrong, each to their own, but i just don't get it!

Wasn't posted on April 1st was it?

not sure Demo, licenced or not, I think the jokes on anyone who pays to do what they would have done in the first place!

I crawled around many pubs and bars in my youth (a long time ago, wasn't it Del)

Well yes   why pay for the privilage, I never have but isnt the council a joke you must be licensed and insured to cover alcohol induced comas, accidents and damages.

My god if their is any chance of that then surely this shouldnt be encouraged    it just goes to show what Calvia council is all about, MONEY MONEY another licence fee for their pockets no matter what.

I would like to see them ban laughing gas in a balloon I cringe when seeing that, I actually know someone that died joking on a balloon in the middle of our town centre, putting the balloon in her mouth blowing them up it went down her throat and killed her.

Calvia council leave themselves wide open every time, not sorting out the prostitute/mugging situation, crime hotels rooms getting broken into etc although Mark reported that CCTV was going up.

They seem to have stupid rules to enforce and others that need enforcing but dont get enforced

I suppose MF will have to get a license for October then
