Would you attend a munch in the Bath or Bristol area?

And if not why not?
Are you interested in taking part in a munch for the Bath or Bristol area? If you are then reply to this topic and leave your email address and lets get one organised. :cheers:
I don't mind being the one who organises a munch meet if there's none already organised. All I need is enough interest. So come on you Westcountry swingers let me know what you think.

Hi,
Yes I would be interested in attending one so long as there was a reasonable balance between females and males. Highly unlikely to get a 1 - 1 but be good to have a fair balance. I understand it is only a social, but a little strange to be meeting up with a load of male swingers with no couples / ladies to chat to. Can I make a guggestion:
If you make it for a Saturday it will be better for work arrangements for those travelliing in and Bristol has a great selection of restaurants.
Hope it comes off for you. Best of luck

I would suggest you get someone that is better known in the Forum to arrange it. You haven't been here a week yet!!

WOULD YOU ATTEND A MUNCH IN THE BATH OR BRISTOL AREA? <~~ is an enquiry!
Does it not suggest to you that the reason I'm putting the idea of a munch meet in Bath or Bristol together is because nobody else is trying to sort one out? I looked on the forum and couldn't find any in this area. Your suggestion would be great, apart from the fact that no-one has tried in the past to set one up or indeed looks like setting one up in the near future. I can at least try and plant the seed can't I?.
As for the comment of "You haven't been here a week yet!! " I've been a member of this site for around a year, just because I don't make regular comments in the forums doesn't mean I don't deserve to suggest a munch meet! :coffee:
If there is anyone that is better known in the forum who would like to set up a munch, then all I can say is GET ON WITH IT! :cheers: :thumbup: biggrin

Why dont you wait until youve been around the forum for a while fair enough being on the site longer but as a lot of people from the forums go to munches then theyll need to know and trust the person who arranges them.
Get around on here a bit and get yourself known then have a go at it,in the mean time try and get to a munch and you can see the kind of things that go on and let people get to see who you are and that you are trustworthy or not.
And to be honest talking back to a mod like that who is trying to help you isnt going to instill much confidence is people is it?

BathColin.... unless I've slept for a year or so and I am now well out of the reality loop, your join date is the 11th Dec 2004. Therefore, you have NOT been on the forum for a year! OK, you might have been lurking for a year or you might have been using the photo ads for a year, and indeed, you might have been in the chat room for a year... if so, I'm sure people from the room who are also regs on the forum will jump to your defense here....
However, as munches are organised on the forum, it is your FORUM join date that people will look at. Rightly or wrongly, people do prefer to go to munches organised by people who are well known. Sarge was trying to give you some constructive feedback, and frankly your attitude was not the best, was it. As Clare says, this doesn't instill confidence in anyone to take you seriously.
At this point I might add that munches are open to everyone so the mix of males and females is irrelevant. The more popular munches are attended by almost all the regulars and a considerable number from the chat room too. Invites to attend are not given based on gender, and never will be.

All that having been said... I'd go biggrin

We did talk about arranging one down here some time ago, but my health has not been great, so I kinda backed out of it.
There was a bit of interest.

16 Dec 2004

We were going to have it in Vix's garden and make use of the field behind if I remember correctly. Then it became unfeasible.
We did talk about an alternate venue and nothing happened.
Personally I'm not too bothered about a munch and would rather just go for the party/orgy.
Less talk more action!
Either way I'll keep an eye on the thread and see if anything gets organised.
Maybe Vix will take up the reins again?

Hiya Rach,
Am afraid I am in no fit state to get this off the ground, hun. Still.. let's see what summer brings, eh?

17 Dec 2004

And all I was doing was trying to get something going where I live. Do I need a letter of introduction to make friends the direct way?
Respect to vix for getting her tits out for ms.
Is this OUR forum or?
Forget it.
I tried.

Hi BathColin,
You are the latest of several people that have come along here during the past year and suggested/attempted to arrange a munch without ever having been to one, and without having taken any time at all to get familiar with folk via the cafe, well, only five days in your case. Tkano's munch ended up with three people attending, AlphaMale's munch - well, he pretended at first to have had 42 turn up, but admitted later it was only about six. Enthusiasm is all very fine, and great to see, but please read again the posts from Blue and Claire, and read the definition of a munch in the information section.
I would strongly suggest that you attend some SH munches before attempting to organise your own, for the reasons stated. Having trust in the person/s organising any munch really is an important element here - most people simply will not turn up for anything organised by someone they don't really know.
Mike.

You need to learn to walk before you can run. You seem very anti anybody giving you advice and defensive about how long you have been here. Everyone has raised valid points here.
"Is this OUR forum?" What sort of question is that?
"forget it" - done
"I tried" - obviously not very hard to be quite honest. 11 posts in six days, most of those having a go at people giving you solid advice.

Basically I'm damned before I start. Tell you what why not let me get on with it and lets see what happens.
As I said in my original post on the forum "would" you attend a munch in the Bath or Bristol area? I think the composition of the sentence says it all. I'm not trying to run before I can walk. just because I appeared on this forum a very short while ago doesn't mean I haven't set up or organised anything like this before. Why are you all intent on putting the idea down? As I said previously if someone else who has a bit more "respect" on here wants to organise a munch then fair enough but no-one is!
And why are all the people who seem to be against this idea from out of this area? I'd appreciate some comments from people from the Bath or Bristol area. Do you think it's a good idea and would you attend if one was organised?
Feedback please.

I joined the forums on 11 dec 2004 not the site.
Does it instill confidence in the people on these forums when someone is told they aren't well known enough to suggest a meeting.
I realise that people prefer to go to munches organised by people that are well known but as I've already pointed out, no-one is organising one in this area and I'm trying to whip up the interest for one.
Who was going to give out invites based on gender?

Col, don't be disheartened. I thikn that people were only trying to help. Honestly.
Sometimes, people get annoyed and you can't see why. Basically, it is because they appear to be answering questions that have been asked (in one form or another) a zillion times. I used to do this, on another (straight) forum and it can become repetative. However, if I got annoyed, I just did not post a reply. People could have done this to you, then you would have thought you were being ignored and that is worse.
I am in the South West and I answered your question honestly. There are not many of us in the SW, or I am sure you would have had more responses from your 'target audience' if there were.
Please, don't give up on us... go talk and play in the cafÃ© for a while, let people get to know you. You may have organized such things before, but no-one here went to those, so they are being, justifiably, cautious.
Because of the nature of what we do for a hobby, we obviously have to be cautious. There are journalists and other evil do-ers in this world, as I am sure you know. Please make allowances for everyones scepticism and then I am sure they will do the same for you.

This is going no-where at all!
Bathcolin, unknown except to his close family and friends, wants to organise a munch, though he seems to think it needs to have a ratio of 1-1 for genders, and has been advised that perhaps he's not the best person to do this as he's so unknown.
Bathcolin takes exception to all the constructive and mostly friendly advice that people aren't going to turn out for him. It's OK, he knows best. I think we should let him organise a venue, the food, the drink, the DJ, the pre-munch drinks, the post-munch party and the clear up afterwards, cos he's so obviously keen and we'd hate to stiffle such enthusiasm with a nugget of experience and wisdom.
In half an hour I will lock this thread - so get it said before then.
