Can a Leopard really change its Spots?

Kia Ora,

Well a few topics I could write about at moment, but will stick to one for the day.

In the newspaper (Christchurch Press) today was the mention that ENSOC (Engineering Students of Canterbury University) have held meetings with the Kaikoura District Council with a view to holding their infamous Undie 500 event to finish they hope in Kaikoura this year.

The ENSOC president said that this year they had plans to avoid the anti social behaviour that has plagued them in the past.

But does a Leopard really change its spots?

Having had a lot of experience(there's that word again) in events involving ENSOC, he may intend that, but there will be members of their organization that intend to live up to the book opposite.

They once rang me to provide security for an event. They stippulated the numbers, but having had recent experience of them, the numbers they quoted were about a quarter of what was needed, it needed to be cash up front (as the first thing they claim as the clamp goes down on their activities is say they will not pay) & we don't have full riot kit yet.

I recommended they call an events security company, but they didn't as they have never liked the way that company keeps a lid on them.

That is the answer to the issue. Make them pay for some good security & keep a lid on everything they do. The town shouldn't pay for them getting out of control.

So that would mean security guards on the streets of Kaikoura to ensure as much as possible things are kept a lid on.

 The cost & security plan might just stop those that want to cause trouble showing up.
