If we build it, will you come?

I’m thinking a Saturday in May, I’m thinking my home town Manchester or Birmingham (because I’m lazy and it’s local, or it sounds more central for everyone)

But also someone who’s had a lot of input to inspiring me to continue todo this mentioned a possible Club, but would have to be a Friday night, we’d have to join and pay for the venue…. What do we all reckon?

But more than anything I think we should all get together in a big ol’ room and do a proper face exchange. I want to see us all have a good time together

Supportive of both so this is simply Shooting from the hip in terms of pros and cons.

A social in Manc or brum... Feels like MCR or UTB. Is there a risk of canabalising each others members and diluting all 3.

At a club feels different. But could put ppl off as it may be seen as a play event.

It also requires (I'd imagine) more of a financial commitment from organisers... Tho can be managed via deposits etc.

Any value in getting the timing aligned with MCR or UTB and doing a mor official Friday before the Saturday (I know MCR has a pre social so more toe stepping there)

"… more than anything I think we should all get together in a big ol’ room and do a proper face exchange. I want to see us all have a good time together."

I approve of and endorse this general idea.

But I’m likely to be shit at actually attending anything organised on a weekend, so I’ll keep my nose well out of any planning discussions.

We used to go straight in. Saturday. A pre social was really something other attendees kinda sorted amongst them selves so I’d leave that to everyone else.

I’m not trying to dilute anything, hopefully compliment the fact that Fab IS a place to meet likeminded people , and hopefully those that want to attend one has options rather than having to wait months because they couldn’t make another. Does that make sense.

Absolutely supportive of either location.

I'd echo comments about the venue - somewhere neutral rather than a club. If it's a social it should be clearly defined as a social. Any subsequent play can be left to hotel rooms for anyone lucky enough to a. Be staying over and b. Actually get lucky.

Also, a room in a pub likely to be more reasonably priced to secure - if any cost at all depending on numbers who can commit to attending.

Because they are usually full of non forum muggles that I’m not particularly interested in meeting.

that doesn't account for where people love. If everyone loves in London it would still give the same resuky and we'd all be on the train !

Centre of population

This calculation depends on the method used (mean, median or geometric median; see Centre of population for details).

A calculation by Danny Dorling using the mean (least squares) method based on local authority district data from the 1990s gave the population centre of Great Britain at Appleby Parva, Leicestershire, 20 miles south of Derby. Since then, the population centre will have moved slightly south and east.

Derby then

"Centre of Great Britain – the computer calculation resulted in a location 7 km north west of Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire, by Whitendale Hanging Stones on Brennard Farm in the Forest of Bowland (SD 64188.3, 56541.43)

Cheers Google that doesn't account for where people love. If everyone loves in London it would still give the same resuky and we'd all be on the train !

Centre of population

This calculation depends on the method used (mean, median or geometric median; see Centre of population for details).

A calculation by Danny Dorling using the mean (least squares) method based on local authority district data from the 1990s gave the population centre of Great Britain at Appleby Parva, Leicestershire, 20 miles south of Derby. Since then, the population centre will have moved slightly south and east.

Derby then "

What a lovely idea.

Appleby Parva is on our doorstep, and a large pub/hotel there about two mins from the M42

"

Having been chatting off the forums with Woody I'll stick my contribution in then leave it tonyou bunch.

Both the socials mentioned have filtered guest lists as far as I know. You have to apply to go, so a sense of inclusivity is lost and people have commented about it being a 'face fits' scenario to get in. Plus as they're held in vanilla locations you have to hire a room and numbers are limited by the size of rhe venue. The UTB profile states around 100 people usually attend which isn't a massive number.

The club idea came from me. As many will know we organised a lounge social a decade ago in a club in Birmingham. This meant no room hire, no outlay and no expense for organisers. Its big enough to cater for large numbers and has a bar. I'd guess 90% of those that came last time treated it purely as a social so no pressure on anyone to do more, but the option is there for those that want to without having to use hotels - ideal if it turns out those that float your boat aren't staying or are in a different hotel.

It also has on site accommodation and loads of cheap hotels nearby and isn't in a clean air zone requiring extra payment.

The pros of using a club for a swingers social are many. No worry about indiscreet staff, bar or hospitality. On site security and a safe environment. It's also not limited by normal bar hours or hourly hire cost for a hall.

All organised socials I'm aware of have a small cost to attend. This would be a similar cost and a flat fee per head, not gender based or single/couple.

At this stage it's just an idea. But one I'd be happy to speak to the owners about and act as middle man for anyone who wants to take on the organisation and running of any guest list.

I don't think it really clashes with any existing social given they're held in external venues, filter guests in some format and aren't specifically linked to the Fab forums.

But that's just my thoughts of course. Happy to answer any specifics offline and I'll reiterate - at this stage it's just an idea. I mentioned it in passing at the club at the weekend but nothing has been agreed as yet.

I take the point but fact is that the Manchester and Brum Socials do now exist and plenty of Forum people go to them. Another Social in same place will just split the possible guests and probably piss a few people off tbh.

I'm supportive either way. I tend to black hat ideas first to were out any show stoppers.

I'd like a club as a variety and if it's the one I think it is, I can see that supporting the social vibe.

I also think a forum only is cool ... Tho may be harder to police ... Green button helps.

"There are already popular Socials in Manchester and Brum at least three times a year each. Why not just meet there ?

Because they are usually full of non forum muggles that I’m not particularly interested in meeting.

I loved the original lounge social as it was only forum contributors and so the conversations and connections were really good.

I take the point but fact is that the Manchester and Brum Socials do now exist and plenty of Forum people go to them. Another Social in same place will just split the possible guests and probably piss a few people off tbh."

If their clique gets pissed off that's their problem. They don't own the rights to socials.

If people decide to go to this -or another- social rather than theirs perhaps they should ask themselves why.

"Supportive of both so this is simply Shooting from the hip in terms of pros and cons.

A social in Manc or brum... Feels like MCR or UTB. Is there a risk of canabalising each others members and diluting all 3.

At a club feels different. But could put ppl off as it may be seen as a play event.

It also requires (I'd imagine) more of a financial commitment from organisers... Tho can be managed via deposits etc.

Any value in getting the timing aligned with MCR or UTB and doing a mor official Friday before the Saturday (I know MCR has a pre social so more toe stepping there)

Having been chatting off the forums with Woody I'll stick my contribution in then leave it tonyou bunch.

Both the socials mentioned have filtered guest lists as far as I know. You have to apply to go, so a sense of inclusivity is lost and people have commented about it being a 'face fits' scenario to get in. Plus as they're held in vanilla locations you have to hire a room and numbers are limited by the size of rhe venue. The UTB profile states around 100 people usually attend which isn't a massive number.

The club idea came from me. As many will know we organised a lounge social a decade ago in a club in Birmingham. This meant no room hire, no outlay and no expense for organisers. Its big enough to cater for large numbers and has a bar. I'd guess 90% of those that came last time treated it purely as a social so no pressure on anyone to do more, but the option is there for those that want to without having to use hotels - ideal if it turns out those that float your boat aren't staying or are in a different hotel.

It also has on site accommodation and loads of cheap hotels nearby and isn't in a clean air zone requiring extra payment.

The pros of using a club for a swingers social are many. No worry about indiscreet staff, bar or hospitality. On site security and a safe environment. It's also not limited by normal bar hours or hourly hire cost for a hall.

All organised socials I'm aware of have a small cost to attend. This would be a similar cost and a flat fee per head, not gender based or single/couple.

At this stage it's just an idea. But one I'd be happy to speak to the owners about and act as middle man for anyone who wants to take on the organisation and running of any guest list.

I don't think it really clashes with any existing social given they're held in external venues, filter guests in some format and aren't specifically linked to the Fab forums.

But that's just my thoughts of course. Happy to answer any specifics offline and I'll reiterate - at this stage it's just an idea. I mentioned it in passing at the club at the weekend but nothing has been agreed as yet.

A"

I did recently find the way all the way to and right through the very middle of Manchester and landed at the university so Manchester doesnt scare me. How about somewhere touristy like say Stratford and get a big old haunted pub room. Put the willies right up people. Or similair

I just crack on with my socials I don't particularly give a shit who goes to what ones , but my only gripe is that's its sensible to ensure they don't clash with other ones .. People may want to attend both but feel guilty if they choose one over another , and that's not fair on them or the organisers

This ..... loads of decent socials don't charge people as you're already making an effort to travel and paying for travel/hotels to attend.

Also, if it was actually forum contributors attending."

Same would go for us, bit daunting when you walk into a massive room full of people and you don't have a clue who they are
