Lincolnshire social, with a difference!!! 1st Sept.

30 Apr 2010

Hiya everyone!!!
Ok, we have been to our fair share of socials, so we thought that we would have a go at organising our own.
However......
This one is a little different!!!
As I am sure you are all aware, socials are 'normally' quite 'vanilla' in both a dress and behavioural sence. This is where this social is different....... We have managed to locate a venue that would be willing to host a social where we are allowed to dress up as we please!!! ANYTHING goes, but NO NUDITY...... Hey, come on, its still a munch, lmao!!!
Again, the venue is a little different as far as munch venues go. 'Our' venue is actually a chinese restaurant!!
It has a capacity to seat 100 people, and it also has a function room, which is just awesome...... It has a black mirrored wall at one end, granite tiles to the floor, and a kicking Karaoke system.
The owners are ofcourse fully aware of what we are arranging, and they have also asked the staff if they are ok with it, and they said hell yeah!!!! lol. The owners have also suggested a special menu just for us, which would consist of a 4 course banquet...... The cost would be in the region of £25 per person. This is what the restaurant charge; We are making diddly squat from it!
The date is confirmed as the 1st of September.
Ok, hope this creates some interest!
Hope to hear from LOTS of you VERY soon,
Love,
bbw_babe. xxxxxx

hiya its lassie well what date were u thinking ofYou know me will travel for a social also are there any good hotels u can recomend put me down for a place

2 May 2010

Sorry but until you add a date, I really don't think you are going to get many to commit to a night out.
I know I'd have to think about child care, do I need a hotel, can I afford things depending on what month it is and what time of the month. It is £50 a couple but with drink costs, petrol and everything else, its a very expensive night confused

Apart from that, I don't eat chinease, is there anything 'English' on the menu? :lol2:

Ok..... bumping this up now as it's only 3 weeks to the social and would like to get some confirmed names on the list. As said before this is also advertised on some other sites and we are almost at he required amount to hold the event, so don't be shy.... it's going to be a fab night if we can get this off the ground....
Hope to see you on the 1st!
bbw_babe xxxx

23 Aug 2010

The list will be closing on Wednesday.....
We can't believe that you haven't shown more interest in this event..... We have around 50 confirmed attendees from other sites, but only a hand full on here.... Be honest, and tell us whats wrong!
Confused,

well..firstly 1st sept ..thats a wednesday...so very difficult if you got to work next day !!!.....most socials are on friday or sat night. secondly the cost will put alot off. £25 a head is not cheap. I am sure it is nice food etc etc....but personally I prefer just a drink and dance at a social....and maybe a few nibbles !!!!
Just thoughts as you did ask.....I do wish you luck, as i know organising these things are very difficult.

Hiya Dean,
Many thanks for your reply.
Yes, we fully understand every 'critisism' that you mention, but in answer to your comments it had to be mid-week, as obviously the restaurant is VERY busy at the weekend, and whilst they were willing to let us have it at the weekend the cost would have been prohibitive so mid-week it had to be.
Cost? Hmmmm, not sure about that one tbh...... We chose the 1st so that most people would have been paid. £25 is just the price of a good meal at a good pub.... Yes, you can get a meal for a fiver at 'some' pubs, but this isn't 'some' chinese.....
We agreed to organise this event after hearing people 'moan' that 'other' socials were too 'vanilla'. Well, we have organized it, and tbh the response has been embarrassing.
Thank goodness we are members of 'other' sites who have held their end of the bargain up.
Disappointedly yours, (but not having a go at you Dean!!)

If you wish to attend, a polite message along with a contact number will get you the location.
Obviously, we cannot just name the venue in public, as is the norm for most socials.
Yours,

Hi, I was thinking of the general location rather than the venue in order to see whether I would have time to get there from NG25, Cheers, Ted

Hi everyone It's Mr Bbw babe here
As some of you are aware mrs bbw_babe was taken ill last week and admitted to hospital. Unfortunatley she is still very poorly and will be having an operation soon. Because of this fact and the little time I have between work and attending her bedside daily we have decided to cancel the munch at this time with a view to holding it once bbw_babe is better and able to organise things.
Thank you to all those who confirmed in emails and also to those that have sent bbw_babe well wishes. I do pass them all on and I am sure once she is better she will post a reply herslf.
Funnily enough she did try to get on the site from her hospital bed on the internet nework they now have on the wards. Access was denied!! lol
Thanks again and sorry for the cancellation

Mr BBW, really hope Mrs BBW is on the mend, and please do send our best regards to her.
In the meantime, I have locked this thread for you, but if you want it opening when she is on the mend, please do let me know.
