UpTheBrum Birmingham Social - Who is going?

Warwick

I've just seen that there is going to be a social held in Birmingham on the 20th November.

I've never been to a social event, and been wanting to for ages, but this is the first local one that's fallen on a good day for me.

Who else is going, or thinking about it?

They just wanted to fill out the couples and single females a bit before allowing the single men.

We messaged today. They are currently full for couples. But they have a reserve list as there are some on it who haven’t confirmed yet.

You have to message the profile directly.

That's a shame, but these things do usually get some drop outs, so it's worth keeping an eye on the profile.

There are still. spaces for single females and males if anyone is interested.

It's looking to be a brilliant night.

Yep, there are some dickheads, absolutely. But they can be anywhere, in any situation and at any time. Someone could seem completely fine but then act up without warning. As adults it’s up to us to have the wherewithal to deal with it.

So I’m not sure what that approach is trying to achieve. It comes across as suggesting single blokes are guilty until arbitrarily proven innocent and that they are a risk to be mitigated.

It seems anything but social and yet that is the aspect that is repeatedly banged on about here as being vital.

I know it looks like I’ve gone a bit shouty and soapbox on this, I’m not self-ignorant enough to not see how it may read, but I’ve never seen another social advertised here that vets potential attendees.

Nor have I ever heard of it being done on the Fet scene, where it would be arguably more necessary given the difference in potential follow-up meets.

I've never been to a social before, this is the first I've managed to go to, so I honestly don't know how most are run. I'm also not running this or spoken to the organisers before, I'm just excited to see who is going and to meet new people

But from what I have seen from past adverts, many do actually vet (and some probably do without saying they do). Just looking through this channel, the next one mentioned which is Leeds says they vet everyone and then the following one doesn't even allow single guys, so it doesn't seem as odd as you make out.

I can see it from your point of view though, but personally, I think too much is being read into something that they are doing to try and make all other attendees feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, which is important for many especially the single ladies that may want to attend.

I see it as a positive rather than a negative, and it's one of the reasons I'm happier going to this as a first social than some of the others.

Everyone is free to run their socials their own way, and how they feel comfortable. And no one is forced to apply for an invite ! As said, this one's not my style but lots of good people going and I'm sure it will be a fun night.

The safety ethos isn’t lost on me and of course it is entirely valid.

Over-analysis? Possibly….I’ve been known to do that on occasion. Maybe it just seems odd to me that I can potentially get into the intimate environment of a swingers club with only an entry free (depending upon the event), but I need to be checked out to go to a free social in a presumably vanilla venue (which on any other night, for the same attendees, would be freely accessible).

Maybe some clarity on what the vetting entails would be nice, e.g. green arrowing, etc?

That said, it’s not my event so I appreciate it’s not my call. I’ll stop chewing up all the thread space now.

I guess clubs are different as they require you to provide ID and pay for membership (quite a lot for single guys) before entering, so people are much more likely to behave well.

This is a free event and no ID is required, so there is much less consequences for any bad behaviour.

I can see your concern or at least disquiet regarding the word ‘vetting’ and yes, there’s an element of safeguarding to it (as there is with all attendees) but there’s also the question of ensuring that the single guys actually attend.

I’ve been to several large social events, spoken to many organisers and i know many more attendees of large events and the issue is very often that people will say that they will go but flake at the last minute and the vast majority of those are single guys. This can leave socials with low attendance, with bad names and even with collapse.

Vetting means that those going are serious, not time wasters and actually real people who will be positive members of the social. Most socials will do this and have stipulations that those attending are verified or pay deposits. It’s nothing to be afraid of or to baulk at

I think some vet, not from a safety perspective, but to get a mix of people that would actually want to meet.

I get that completely.

We’ve travelled quite a distance before to attend socials. We love to talk to anyone, but obviously if your hoping to meet people with whom you may want more then being like minded definitely helps.

Most socials deal with this by asking for recent meet veris for all invites, not just single men.

From the gist of the messages from the organisers and the information they have sent out they allow a certain amount of spaces for couples, single ladies and single males so that there is a nice mix of everyone.

Everyone who has confirmed will have been contacted by the organisers I believe.

And yes as someone else has said if you are confirmed its seen that you are attending. If you can’t they ask that you let them know so the place can be offered to someone else.

Their status today says there is availability still for singles of both sex.

Is there a reason why the organisers haven't opened a thread themselves? Can't help thinking some of the misunderstandings could have been avoided that way.

Reply privatelyReply in forumReply +quote
 

By (user no longer on site)

Well, God help me but I've had confirmation, I'm on the list..

Took a few days to sort it out but as we all know, we have lives outside of Fab and sometimes it takes precedence ie;kids, holidays and work..

Be patient and give the organisers time to sort it all out..

Organising a venue, trying to confirm 140 people with a good mix and making sure it's accessible to all is a logistical nightmare even when it goes smoothly with no distractions (personal experience there)..

That's fine, we will make sure everyone is kept informed of anything they need to know.

It just gives a way of people chatting amongst themselves privately before hand.
