OK peeps. Just had a discussion in the chatroom about how often a room social should be held. A particular couple are doing a social every month at the moment which is ok if peeps want one every month. But because of this, no one else wants to organise a social because if peeps go to one per month, they are unlikely to go to another one in the same month because of money, babysitters etc. For me, when I first started to come on this site, I loved the idea of a social every couple of months as was the norm. I found this more exciting, but now they are every month in my 'local' chatroom, I find them boring and predictable and the excitement has gone. What do you guys and girls think?????

For me I wouldn't go to a monthly one simply because the novelty would wear off. I'm the type of person I like to go to a social 'if' I like the sound of it, where it's at, price issues, and if I'm available, probably the same as anyone else to be honest, but a monthly one would bore the pants of me..

A monthly social would become the norm and there is always the problem of babysitters money and i think possibly a monthly one would become clicky perhaps every 3 months is fine as usually there is smaller house parties/get togethers inbetween and leaves the bigger ones for meeting new peeps and those you do not see very often

it depends on what is trying to be arranged.... this is my view on it from being in another area when lots of socials tend to happen...for me it is nice to meet local people.. but what local socials has partly done is regionalise the site to the extent that people rarely travel anymore.... you don't get many people for example the north east got to socials in yorkshire or scotland anymore..... you dont get people in yorkshire going to socials in the north west.... people in the north west going to midlands and so on and so on.......
if you look at most munch lists these days, it is just full of local people to the area, where they use to be occasions where people would go all across the country.......
this is going back a while... but i remember when the calendar was nottingham, manchester, newcastle, scotland, essex, bristol, wakefield and that was special because people made weekends of it.... you would meet people from all over the country....

Oooh, not sure you can put a time on it to be honest. Would every six weeks not become just as boring as once a month if it was just the same old peeps going all the time? Think that is the key for me, a chance to meet new folk, put faces to names etc. If it was a completely (or almost) new set of people all the time then maybe it'd keep it interesting, but not sure it would be.
Hmmm, dunno really.
Oh and add into that financials etc... might not be feasible for most people unless they live local to the venue.

much as we love clubbing on the scene, we don't do it every week as it would get boring. We get to do that about once every six weeks or so. Our view on the socials would be the same, too many would be too boring.

Thats a really difficult question to answer for us at least M&M. We like to go to an organised social/munch a few times maybe 4/5 times a year at most. Anymore than that and it would spoil the build up and anticipation for us.
Locally within our chatroom frat/sorority we manage luckily to socialise on an adhoc basis quite a bit away from organised stuff. Last minute late night road trips to service stations for coffee. Midnight BBQ's atr some obscure public places, Coffe and sarnie nights out on summer nights/early mornings, camping trips. it's nice the informal stuff we get up to.
The SH Lets Meet Up advertised Socials are our 'planned' nights out ones in which to meet lots of people from SH have a drink and a laugh and if the musics any good a boogie. If this was every month for us we might as well just join a Social club I guess and be able to enjoy our non-swinging regularly. Which to be honest i guess would be easier to explain and organise.
So in answer to you M&M yes I think that monthly is too much. But that is for us maybe not for others. We have been to a few welsh socials and they have all had there place and been fun. Though the most memorable and fun I think has to be the first one that was excellent fun but it was our first so holds a memory. And as for Pembscouple do last year - cracking do! Could do with another one like that.

We wouldnt be able to do the every month thing as there just isnt the time for the travelling etc and enough babysitters. We do however love to go to a social or munch. I don't know why but we always seem to gravitate up to Manchester which is probably why we only manage about 1 a year takes bluddy ages from down here.

I love Manchester - Maybe it should swap places with Bristol or maybe further down Southampton maybe
