    Why just Dad's? No other men allowed? What about women?
  • Just applied, i'm would LOVE to do it. As a kid I use to 'abuse' fireworks and try to make my own rockets - my son loves science and electronics.

    There are many mums only groups. Just do a google search for them. It isn't worth while getting upset because of a dads only group.

    How does this comply with equalities legislation? On what grounds are women not allowed? Or indeed men who are not Dads?

    I'm not good with the law, but I think that even though its labeled as "Dad's only" a woman could still apply, and could possible claim discrimination if not allowed? I think only a few registered charities like the Women's Institute are oddly exempt from the legislation.

    Oh please!

    Of all the things to get upset about. What about all the mums' events, are they sexist too?
