Six of One cancel long-standing events.

In the mid 1990s, members of Six of One could expect a variety of events to be organised regarding "The Prisoner", as well as a plethora of information and merchandise.

Each year, a member in the 1990s could expect the following events:

• A free annual summer Convention.
• 4 Work-ins (informal get-togethers where Society mailings were packaged, and news announced).
• 1-2 Brain Bashes (Discussion Groups).
• Monthly meetings of many local Prisoner groups in different towns/cities around the UK.
• 2-3 Location tours, bus trips, or "walkabouts".

However, these events, once the lifeblood of the Society, have been cancelled by the current immoral coordination team. The previously FREE annual summer Convention has only occured 3 times in 7 years, on a cold weekend in March (for a fee of £25). Work-ins have been completely cancelled due to "decreased membership levels"1. In 2000 there were 132 local groups advertised in the Society magazine. However, this figure is now less than 5 because so many of the active and non-active members had quit. Six of One in 2005 also advertised no location tours, no regional events, no brain bash events.

As membership is almost at its lowest level since the Society's inception, turnout for any events are so low it causes much embarrassment to the already red-faced coordinators. Society Conventions in the 1990s boasted 400 or so attendees - these days it is nearer 50.

The co-ordination team are also unwilling to announce any events held in a public place in case ex-members turn up, and inform in-the-dark-attendees of the truth regarding the Society.

In October 2005, despite the claims made on their websites as to what a member can expect from the Society (more on this HERE), in a cowardly and despicable attack on a charity fundraising event they admit they cannot hold regular events (despite their supposed "1000 members" and therefore annual income of well in excess of £20000):

"As far as Six of One is concerned, we are pleased that there should occasionally be more in the way of Prisoner-based events, as we do not have the resources to arrange gatherings on a more frequent basis."

Is there any point in belonging to this so-called "Appreciation" Society? No. Outside of the Society, countless events and merchandise are being made available to Prisoner fans.
