Would do organising myself but I've been advised that socials which are organised by single males tend to get cold-shouldered.
I'd be happy to co-host a social with you if that would help

All,
Originally the events section was set up to augment events in the Lets Meet Up forum, unfortunately some prefer only to use the forum, but some post their event in both.
So it's worth remembering that for many Parties people will utilise Events, plus some Socials and Munchs do in addition to or instead of the Lets Meet Up forum, so it's worth checking Events.
see http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/events/
or use the Search option via http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/events/search.html
Also don't forget the Clubs Meets forum or the Commercial Events forum either.
happy hunting

If anyone does organise one, let me know please.
Would do organising myself but I've been advised that socials which are organised by single males tend to get cold-shouldered. Don't know if it's true but it came from a pretty reliable source.

In response, I'd be delighted to join a sussex social, as indeed I have in the past..... the thing about single guys is multiple if:
a : you cannot accomodate
b : you haven't shown your face to other members
c : you are generally unknown to other members
but good luck with it, if it happens outside of school holidays I'll almost certainly put my name down, and I'm quite a laid back kinda guy, so I fit in easily.

Point taken, always happy to send a pic, and being unknown to other members! There lies the rub, bit of a catch 22 that one.

Are there any events in East sussex going on in the coming months that would be open to single older male new to this site?
Getting known in the chatrooms and on face cam is worth lots if you wish to meet people on the site, socially or otherwise....in fact I can say in all honesty that over 90% of my "play meets" have been in response to being on cam ..... and it aint cos I look good...or have a big willy. :sad:

skinny I have never seen you on camera :P
HnS thanks for the links. I have seen some private events in the wider area or attempts at private events so there is obviously some untapped potential there. I think we have a problem in our area because there are a lot of isolated individuals and couples that are active but no sense of community (not in the last 6 months that I have been monitoring this, anyway). Personally I am not at all interested in commercial events so I tend to disregard those.
So... who we have onboard right now is two people that have been to socials but never organised one themselvs and two that are absolute rookies :lol: I would like to ask what people have in mind re. type of meet, type of venue, numbers... In all honesty all I would like is to meet for coffee with the dozen or so local people I have been chatting to but don't have time to meet individually
So that's where I am coming from.Perhaps a "quiet" drink at a pub's function room on a weekday evening would do, at this stage? I would definitely stick to the informal at this point, just to see what interest is there and who shows up... If there is an interested core group that would be happy to meet semi-regularly, things can snowball. Brighton being the place it is, I am sure lots of people from London etc would be interested to attend a well-organised weekend social here. But it won't be me organising that one! :shock:
So people, what do you think?
the local social, from my limited experience, would take place in a local pub....not an exclusively booked venue, simply a group of club members getting together over a drink in order to meet each other socially. Two events I have attended took place on a saturday evening, with people seemingly arranging to go on to other venues, night club perhaps, in order to extend the evening, and I'm sure, in some instances, to take the social to another level later in the night. There is no need to book anywhere for the event, if you find there's a lot of interest then you could have a word with a hotelier or pub landlord, but generally, less than 30 people will fit in to a suitable bar quite easily. This is especially so if it'll be a weeknight.

I think the informal, "quiet" drink is about the right pitch. A pub with a function room would be great, depends on mnumbers obviously.I am sure we all have thoughts on where we would prefer it to be, i would go with the concensus. We appear at present to have contingents from Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton, from what i understand.
Thoughts?

PM'd you, happy to offer help and advice from afar

For my tuppen'th :
I'd agree that an informal group of up to 30 in an appropriate pub would seem the way to go, and that the right choice of pub would not necessitate hiring a function room if the numbers aren't excessive. What most want, I believe, is just a chance for an informal drink & chat with like-minded relatively local people.
Having said that, I'd hazard that a weekday (except friday) might discourage attendance due to lateness-to-bed on days when they might need to get up early in the morning. Similarly, as Skinny has pointed out, some people might want to extend the event, and a weekday evening will presumably make this less of a likelihood, again, discouraging attendance.
For my money, I'd say a large, relatively quiet pub in Brighton on a saturday evening.
Could anyone who is reading this thread please offer their view?
As i said previously, i am happy with the concensus. but my view would be, i could do a "local" pub, weekday if it was Eastbourne area, Brighton would probably be a fri or sat. It may still be worth thinking about interested parties to meet for a quiet drink first, see if a larger arrangement would really be a goer.
Yes? No? Thoughts?

I have attended a couple of socials in brighton in the past. These being on a Saturday evening in just a normal pub, no function room booked. On both occasions I'd say about 20ish people turned up. However as is usual more had indicated a willingness to turn up than actually did which is why I don't think booking function rooms etc would be a wise idea.
Of course what is needed is someone who is willing to put the time and effort in to arranging a date and to advertise this on the board. I know Aladdin from one of these events and have met him on a number of occasions both socially and to attend some meets together so the idea of a social does work in the context of leading on to more socialising with like minded people.
Our area (East Sussex) does seem to be particularly quiet on the swinging front with no clubs that I am aware of as opposed to other areas so maybe a social meet is the way to go to kick start things.
Presuming the date fits in with my work and family commitments I would definately attend.

Hello all Marie here Hello to skinny and wayne how are you both? Ok I was the one who did the last couple of soicals in brighton. What I did was said a time where to meet in a pub on a saturday evening that way you dont need to book anywhere because trust me you can get let downs aswell and if you book anywhere and get that its a waste of money. I have been asked many times to do another one but on the last one there was not many numbers. If you all want a get together think of a date and lets do it then!!! It's not hard. So maybe saturday 14th feb valentines night even? seems like a good idea??? Anyway happy to help all I can and even know a pub for a good meet? Let me know on your thoughts???

I'm fairly certain that valentines day will fall during the kid's half term holiday, which means I'll be with my young uns and unable to attend:
I'm sure that you won't be the only person who might have difficulty in attending owing to half-term or school holidays - ideally, we should choose a date that works for parents if we can.
How would Saturday 28th January 2012 fit into the parental calendar? It's sufficiently past Christmas that everyone should have recovered from their festive excesses.
Sounds far enough ahead to be OK with me. Other takers?

Hi Marie, I'm fine although as discussed on this thread a lack of sustained swinging action around this area.
Unfortunately i am scheduled to be working on 28th jan...Ohh the joys of being a shift worker.
