**A bristol social early March?** EVENT POSTPONED 4 NOW

24 Jan 2006

We would be interested in setting up a social in or around Bristol in early March, most likely 4th or 5th. No strings social just for the laugh lol

as we have yet to meet anyone from a swinging background. BIg question is would anyone be interested in attending? Single guys (bet you were waiting for this wernt you :P ) will be welcome but I may have to limit the numbers depending on the numbers that are interested. I dont want to turn up at a pub with my hubby for a social with 10 single males, hope that makes sense.
Suggestions for location and anything else welcomed. As normal for socials the eventual location will be private and pm'd to those who wish to attend.
Experienced users if I am doing this wrong please then give advice dont throw sarcastic comments. I am quite shocked sometimes to see the replys from 1000+ post users to some uneducated posts, they are quite rude. You wouldent want to do that to me I bite back mad

24 Jan 2006

Tweeky count me in please! one single male from gloucester 25 yo please hun!!!!

24 Jan 2006

hi hun,
i think if your arranging a social its not as strict as a munch, im not the one to give advise , ive only ever arranged small gatherings and they have been with established members.
good luck, and have fun xxxxx

Hi Tweeky
I'd be up for a Bristol social, especially as I seem to remember promising on the thread about newbie socials to show my support if there was ever one near me! biggrin

I think it's a nice idea for a few people to get together for a drink and a chat without having to make a big munch-stylee expedition of it. (Although I just LOVE those as well!)
End of Feb is getting awfully close though, and most of my weekends are already booked - I started organising my swinging diary for February sometime in November! I'll keep an eye on this thread though, and see what dates you end up with. I'll do my best to make it.
Good luck with the organising!

HI all, thanks for the replys so far. PLEASE NOTE TOPIC AND ORIGINAL POST EDITS. Spotted in the diary I have to work end of February so changed to early March
Happy I posted this it has made me think a lot and ask a lot of questions to myself.
Owen B, thanks for the reply I will add you to the single male list as your first up guess thats good for you. Makingcocoa can you please clarify your errm sex/orientation lol. Your profile is a little complicated so I dont know how to count you. I guess thats deliberate :twisted: but still I need to know.
I will keep this thread alive until the 3rd of February. At that time I will look at all that have apllied and decide if the event is worth going ahead with. If suitible numbers and variations ( i.e. couples, single males, etc etc ) apply then by the 5th of February I will send to everone concerned a PM with all details including location.
Any more for any more?

Hi guys,
A newbie from bristol!! i would love to come and meet some others from the scene. Never been to a social before and would love the chance
Cheers
Zac

25 Jan 2006

I would have loved to have come, but it clashes with the London Munch, which is also on the 4th March and I have booked for that ... hope you all enjoy yourselves whoever goes.
DD biggrin

25 Jan 2006

Hi Tweeky, well done on going ahead and organising something, really hope it all goes to plan and you all have a fantastic night lol

The only things I would say are:
1. Dont say you will wait and see if it is worth doing or not, you need to make a decision, you either go ahead and take a risk that enough people will attend, or you dont bother. Its not fair people booking this in diaries, some booking hotels/babysitters etc, if they are not sure if it will or wont go ahead. Take the bull by the horns, be positive and go for it :lol:
2. The last statement in the original post is probably going to turn off more people than it will attract. I read your post last night and didnt reply imeidately (thought I would calm down a little rather than offer to bite you). :lol: I really dont think it is a good idea to have a dig at people just for the sake of it. If you want help from experienced Munch organisers, I am sure they will all be more than willing to give any advice or help they can, but you are not going to get people on your side by starting with a criticsm or derogatory comments.
3. If I can be of any help, then drop me a pm and I will get back to you straight away. Sometimes it is better to answer the questions via pm rather than open forums, as it can be easy to give away too much information regarding location etc.
Best of luck to you with this and as I said, I hope you have a fantastic night :lol:

Hi again
First, 9inchgirth added to list thanks for your interest.
Naughty wigan couple thanks very much for the advice biggrin

As I said above I am holding this thread open until the 3rd of February at which time | will decide if the event can realisticly go ahead. If for example its us and 6 single guys its not realy a practical situation and I dont think it would be fun for anyone. Until the 3rd of February I am only asklng people to register an interest, not book baby sitters time off work etc. If you get a better offer in the mean time please accept it and have a good time whilst telling me all about it :D

people will come from across the country to support a social if they can... so if you are going to organise one the best thing you can do is sort out a date asap... that gives us all time to work things out.....bearing in mind people may be on the lists for london (4th) NW (11th) or wigan (18th)
other than stressing that point i think the lovely mrs NWC has hit all the points very well....
if you need any further advice feel free to shout....
sean xxxxxxxx
p,s if it is purely a social..i.e a pub get together... then does it really matter if it is one couple and 6 blokes... after all isn't it just a social meeting to meet likeminded people.......just because it may not be you cup of tea so to speak, does it make it less valid???? just a thought smile

26 Jan 2006

Hi tweeky
I would certainly be up for a social meet in March. I hope you havent got too many single males already!
Take care
Mike

HI Sean
Thanks for the advice again. just too address your p.s point then no the numbers wouldent matter but remember we are new to this and I especialy am a nervous person anyway HONEST. I personaly would feel very uneasy around that many single men with no other couples or single females being around. Mr Tweeky would be fine most likey the life and soul and end up beating everyone at a hastily arranged pool competition.
I will leave this up for now but maybe it is better if we try and attend a munch or social first and see how its done. Problem is trying to get on the list.
Thanks for your help and for your information but just for the record (big mistake this i bet) single guys are my cup of tea I just dont find the need to advertise for them here. My only experience so far was MMF.

HI Tweeky
Good on you for organising a social biggrin

I jumped in at the deep end, and organised a meet, without going to a Munch before hand, very scary, but very worthwhile :D
As has been said, you will need to fix a date asap, to get people along. Otherwise in the meantime, folks will organise themsleves to go elsewhere, and then not be able to make your social.
There are still a few experienced Munch organisers here, and they are a great bunch, with lots of useful tips.
There's quite a few members in your area, so I reckon you would get a good turn out, and not just you and six males lol

Have fun :D

26 Jan 2006

Hi Tweeky
We have chatted briefly and would like to register our interest
However, like you, G not likely to feel to comfortable with 'loads' of singles
So come Bristol and surrounding couples, say yes, come and have a drink and prove to us you are human lol
As for us we will arive in our space ship trying not to look too green!! smile

27 Jan 2006

hi tweeky
I can see your point of being uncomfortable with lots of guys around. but hey its got to worth it if i can get myself a worthy adversary on the pool table!!

27 Jan 2006

Rude and sarcastic comments from 1000+ posters :shock: ????????
No - Surely not :confused: :confused: :confused:
Good for you :thumbup:
Go for it.
I'm not sure if you're thinking of organising a cosy little "social" or something bigger like a munch by any other name.
If I did - that would help me to know whether I'd come.
I've been to a coupleof all types redface

Whatever it is - I hope it comes to fruition.
It might be an idea to bear in mind there or two quite large "goings on" in March. One 4th - HERE and one 11th - HERE
If I can help or advise, feel free to ask.
Btw - What are you doing on

28 Jan 2006

I am single male and would love to attend. PMme more details when you have them please.
I live in Bristol so easy for me

28 Jan 2006

We haven't had much involvment in the forums yet but wouldn't mind attending a social event to actually meet some real people from the site.

Hey Dambuster
Waiting for advice back from a PM I sent. I have one location in mind that has quite a party atmosphere to it but if that deosnt work out then it will just be a pub social. I will choose a large pub so we dont stick out like a sore thumb.
Everyone else who has replied I am adding you ot the list as it goes.
This thread is a mess sad

if by the 3rd we do decide to go ahead I will start a new thread with all the proper details, mnus the location of course.
Thanks for all the replies and requests.

ohh BTW the 3rd of June link didnt work so I am none the wiser

It's good to see something happening in the Bristol area...seems all too quiet round here these days. Unlikely we'd be able to make the 4th (Erica definitely couldn't and I'm a maybe); but keep us informed...you never know.

I would be interested in meeting for a social, like you I am very new to this, in fact I have never been to any swingers event as yet. I am a 40 year old bloke, very fit and athletic and just love having fun. My e-mail address is: I hope to meet you.

HI all
I have been taking advice from some experienced social and munch organisers and I am sorry to say that at this moment in time I am unable to arrange this event. This is why I did not go head long in and set a date venue etc. The main reason is lack of cash to be brutaly honest I did not anticipate some of the cost. If somone else would like to take over the thread or organising of the event on this date then please do so.
Personaly I/we will be looking to attend a social or munch before june and hope to see some of you at one of these events, if we get on a list that is.
Sorry to have wasted your time, I hope it wasent too much.
Tweeky

31 Jan 2006

Tweeky , sorry to hear youve had to call this off,
i think many of us think it would be an easy thing to arrange, and then it kinda runs away for you.
there would be nothing stopping you from arranging a very small social night for yourselves and just a hand full of others? maybe placing a ad making it very clear that it is purely a social drink, game of pool your advertising for?
hope to meet you soon at a munch, dont let this set back dishearten you

No not put off at all the set back was simply financial. I was playing it by ear as I went and decided after advice that a private room is better and I dont have the funds out front so I had to cancel. maybe I can get one running again at somefuture point problem is time is limited for us and there are an array of anniversarys and Birthdays in between. If I do organise one in the future you can now guarantee that the arrangements will be in place booked and paid before I even advertise it. As I now know I will get attendance I am in a much more confident position.

Tweeky - if it would help I can put up the cash - as long as you weren't planning to hold it in the Marriot! Or Barbados!!!!!

Surely it shouldn't down to one person to put up the cash????
Shouldn't anyone who wants to attend chip in their share????
