We will not be responsible if you do get charged however so be careful.

3. Remember, it is perfectly legal for you all to do this so you shouldhave no problems- the police have historically done a fantastic job helping us with crowd control so please comply with their requests; they are for your safety.

4. Please stay on your bikes, in the cars etc.

5. Very Importantly: Ladies, please DO NOT do anything that can be called deliberately sexually titillating or offensive or you may be (1) warned by the police and then (2) arrested. By this I mean, please do not do things like lick your nipples or jiggle your breasts deliberately and/or provocatively at the public. Please remember this is a public place and the police are there to assist us and maintain public order so please don't do anything deliberately to provoke a reaction. You are free to wave, smile, be photographed, have fun and enjoy yourselves.

6. Drivers/riders *€“ please stay in place in the parade, no overtaking. Obey the police.

7. Please do not encourage public to get into your cars etc.

8. Please DO NOT hand anything out to the public; no brochures, flyers, giveaways. The ONLY exceptions to this are twelve approved Erotica promo girls who will be walking alongside the parade, 6 per side and will be handing out cards promoting the Erotica Lifestyles Expo.
