It is the organisers event to be held how the organiser wishes, if they do it wrong people won't come and they'll lose out.
What _should_ constitute a ban in my opinion (if clubs were nice public services rather than private events) would be non-consensual activity including but not limited to bullying, behaving like a twat (ie. noisy drunkeness) and beheading (because even if the victim is consenting the people watching and getting covered aren't). And mimes.

I will not name names, to protect the guilty, LOL.
Apparently, these two friends, lets call them A and B, have a friend, C, who used go to munches and events with them. They used to attend a munch but C got banned from it.
Apparently, C used to go out with D, who was the former boyfriend/partner of E, who happened to be an organiser of the munch in question. C was banned from the munch by E, and now A and B dont attend that munch anymore.

What one side of the story is, isn't the other.
Sometimes the gossip does the rounds and those who think they've been banned in fact aren't.

There's always 3 sides to a story, in this case that of
C & E but I find the truth is usually somewhere in the middle, a combination of both sides.
I'm a munch virgin, yet to me surely any organiser wants people to attend a munch unless they've done something to jeopardise the group with their behaviour.
You don't have to like everyone who is there, if you don't wish to speak to them don't, there are ways of doing so without making an issue of it.

Good point.
Oh shit now we are having a private conversation.

Can you ban someone from a Munch? Munches are usually held in pubs or other public places. The owners/proprietors of these places can ban someone from them. If the Organiser has booked a private room, he/she should be able to control who goes into that room.
As munches are generally held in places accessible to anyone, then I would think that the Organiser would not have the power to ban anyone from the munch. S/he could make them feel unwelcome, but that is about all.

This raises a question in my mind (by which I don't mean to hijack the thread, but...):
Are munches a public service or a private event? The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I was out last night and surprisingly met some friends whom I had not seen for a while. They told me of an incident which perturbed me. I cannot verify the story but I have no reason to believe it to be false.

My question is, does the fact that someone who dated the former partner of a munch organisers justify that organiser banning the person in question.

As Gary above said if they are held in a more public area (rather than a nice private room like the Cambridge munch) then it is up to whoever has control over people entering it. The pub manager would be able to deny service. If the person in charge of the munch complained it would be up to them who (if anyone) to keep in the pub. It would probably look like a petty friendship squabble to them. I do wish everybody could just be nice happy friends. Or at least resort to violence involving leather and lubricant. That which does not kill us, makes us stranger...
