Having been site members for over 5 years now and have attended something like 15 socials all of which have been fantastic with varied venues, locations and themes. alas though we are sadly begining to think that socials have had their day as far as big venues and lots of people attending with lunches and drinks nights now being the way things are going. Is it just us or do others feel likewise and do you think at some point socials will take off again

There's almost certainly a place for all sorts of events in the calendar but there seems to be no doubt that larger events are more prone to reaches of security.

What astonishes me is that there are plans for events stretching into the middle of 2013.

I've yet to decide what I'm doing next weekend

my opinion:

too much hassle for the organisers and people not paying till too late in the day and the worry that brings.

they can be more about the organisers self importance & that puts people off.

often dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.

politics

inclusion or not of new members

and if I am honest, I think there were too many and numbers diluted, others will disagree with that and that is cool. ( they were competing with each other )

shame as many good times had.... if they do run... all the very for a great time x

its too much hassle to organise socials on this site. On the other sites I organise nights for, there always well attended (over 150 guests a time), never any problems or hassles with payments etc and never the fall outs that always seem to happen on here

I dont think big socials have had their day but do think maybe keeping them for special times such as christmas/valentines/Halloween and such like would be better... with lunch n drinks nites inbetween ...as regards to them being booked so far in advance especially at peak times such as christmas places book out quickly hence why you need to book so far in advance .

Why 'special times'?

1) as you say, venues are busy and expensive and

2) folks have other things to do.

That sounds a bit like 'things are the way they are because they are the way they are'.

I have the highest regard for those who undertake organising socials/ balls etc. I wouldn't do it for a free shag, but I sometimes wonder if there isn't a bit of blinkered thinking about the whole thing.

We have been to both socials which are larger and professionaly organised and smaller house based private ones. To us a social is where we get to meet people in the same mindset us us whom we would probably never had met. We have become friends with people we met at both types. They take different forms and hopefully continue as a great way to meet, be social and lead to better things

We used to go to a lot of socials on another site which has now died a death and they were always really good nights. Everyone had a great time but i do agree with View that politics took over and folk didnt turn up or cancelled and some even complained at a fiver a ticket which consisted of your night with a buffet. Your cant even get two drinks for a fiver these days. The organisers had to put up with so much hassle and stress. However i do know a lot of folk including ourselves who miss the socials and I myself have personally tried to organise just a drinks social in a pub in Edinburgh where people with the same mindset can get together and get to know each other with the hope of possible more social nights, parties meets, whatever folk are looking for but we didnt get much of a response on the other site. I have put a date for next Saturday for a social afternoon/evening for anyone who wishes to come along for drinks and a laugh but again numbers are not great. Still a good enough number going for a good night out though but anyone that wants to come along please pm me and let me know and i will let you know the time and venue nearer time. What else can one do to try get folk meeting again!!!

Why does it have to be 50/100 people, especially 50/100 people, many of who don't know each other?

For a very long time, pre internet and pre mobile phones there was a busy 'social' scene in Glasgow - all word of mouth amongst people who knew and could vouch for each other and the one or two newbies they brought along.

Because of the location it would sometimes evolve into a party at a flat, sometimes not but it was never outed or exposed in the media.

When you get to those sort of numbers you get into finding a suitably sized venue, bookings, payments, Paypal and trying to keep the purpose secret.

I once made a comment in a thread about socials and how on here the seem to be a bit of a clique, all the places get automaticly taken up by the regulars and the newbies cant even get on a resesve list. I'm a regular on the kink scene and in that comment i talked about how we have 'informal' socials/munches and a pub where 50-70 of us meet up monthly-it was deleted supposedly because i named the pub. Reserve an area for no charge as they know you're bringing business and folk can just turn up and get in no problem.

Well, we've been to a few 'drinks' nights and one organised social event and all went well but that's before the issue of national press and media taking an active interest.

Finding a safe, comfortable and decent venue, especially so close to Christmas with the organised office party's, must have been a task in itself so well done Miss Nawty.

A drinks night is ideal way for peeps to meet and chat as long as they are in the 'body of the kirk' so to speak. Defeats the purpose if peeps attending are cast four corners to the wind and we have to watch their p's and q's or worse than that, engage in conversation with someone who isn't a fab member.

Now that's just opening up a whole new can of worms-anyone joined the site in the past few months cant be trusted, neither can the members who've been on longer but never been to a social...and now those that have been on and maybe have/maybe not been to a social!

No wonder everything seems inclusive to those who already know each other...nobody trusts each other now unless they're already known!

i'm quite surprised by some of the comments on this thread.

organising a social must be time consuming,mega hassle,and now worrying,why anybody does it,is beyond me,but happy days,they do.

socials are not compulsory,so if you don't fancy it,don't go.

if you want,a different kind of social,organise one.don't whine about the the kind of socials people do organise,and many people do enjoy.

as for people saying socials have had their day,and they're not as good,bull.

going out and having a good time,is not someone else's responsibility.if you go,and don't enjoy,maybe you should question your own attitude,rather than point the finger at someone else.

Whoever 'outed' the Ball is as likely to have been a pissed-off long-term member as a newbie.

Now that's just opening up a whole new can of worms-anyone joined the site in the past few months cant be trusted, neither can the members who've been on longer but never been to a social...and now those that have been on and maybe have/maybe not been to a social!

No wonder everything seems inclusive to those who already know each other...nobody trusts each other now unless they're already known!"

That's what I said above about meetings (whatever they're called) by word of mouth and attendees vouching for their guests.

It isn't foolproof but it's a damn sight safer than the cyberspace equivalent of the Town Crier issuing an open invite to anyone with a couple of quid burning a hole in their sporran.

As I'm sure I explained to you (or someone) some weeks back, I gave up organising such events a number of years back when the (pardon the expression) amateurs* got involved.

Loads of different angles on this forum but have socials had there day - No I dont think so - just yes we have to be a bit carefull and people have to learn to pay up early to help the organisers.

Yes Davy and I have put up for socials into middle of next year as we said we would do one every 4 mths and beleive it or not to get a sat night at a venue where we can keep costs low for people we have to book that far in advance, 13 July was the first Sat we could get next year unless we wanted 08 Feb which we felt was too close to others, and after Xmas.

Do we have to have private function rooms - well yes if we want our own entertainment, food and laugh - in a open bar you dont know if the person next to you is a swinger or not so info could get out easier.

As to Amatures, well we think enthusiasm is just as important as long as you know what you want although both Davy and I have had years of experiance organising parties and entertaining and I dont mean on the swinging side of things.

Competing against each other - I dont think this really happens although sometimes a clash but normally sorts itself out - JandS used to promote ours as we promed theirs just the same I think it just depends where people want to go to a social and what area after all is a social not about meeting ppl that we chat to on here face to face as I say - meet old and make new friends!

Well ive said my long piece - just my opion

very nicely put mate, socials is what people make it, bugger all to do with hosts, what events, what themes, can hold a social any time o year, and for socials going up on advance, easy answer is so people wanting to come can orginiese, hotels, sitters, holidays from work ,,,

We have attended many socials over the years and they have all been great nights. Lets you meet other people and they are always a good laugh. Some folk mention the word clique but to me its not cliquey its just becuase folk who do go to socials get to know each other hence why they speak to each other more easily. The socials we went to have died a death due the the folk moving away or to bitchy comments which unfortunetly put the organisers off doing it. It is a lot of work for organisers to do this and my hat goes off to them. I am organising a social drinks evening next Sat in Edinburgh so anyone wishing to come its in the meets section.

"..........why not 50/100 ive done for smaller too

You've explained why yourself.

When you get to those sort of numbers you get into finding a suitably sized venue, bookings, payments, Paypal and trying to keep the purpose secret.

On the face of it, they're a disaster waiting to happens, as the Masked Ball showed."

this is s bit of s one sided opinion and is because its your personal opinion which is fine.

We have been to both large and smaller socials from Fab and another site. We have had great nghts and not so great nights; we have met life long freinds at socials. I think the point here is that there are large, organised socials, drinks nights in bars and lunches all on offer here and people choose which they would prefer to attend. We prefer the large, organised socials - but thats our preference and nice to be able to choose. Yes there is a risk of being "outed" but hey, everytime we send a pic to someone we run the risk.

Politics and bitching are on every swingers site and in fact we left the site Atomic Raven refers to because the organisers started banning folks they didnt like, limited the amount of single guys, etc,. so would say our experience was not as good as Atomic's.

We have been members of the Scotland chat room since it started and where we rarely had double figures chatting and have to say yes Fab has it's faults but in our opinion less than other sites. We love the socials and yes there are loads - but again we like the ability to choose which ones suit us.

Hats off to those who organise them and you will know when they have reached the end of the road when folk stop going.

See you all at the xmas social next week xx

i love the socials ! chance to see old faces and click hopefully with new ones . just like any night out out some fantastic others just ok .end of day its what YOU make of it . if you arent happen with type of social ,way its run blah blah . then just dont go,and arrange one yourself then !!! leaves spaces for the meny people who do wanna go and have a good night .

maybe i just love chance to get glamed up or maybe i just wanna get my hands on a single guy who wants to meet regular hehe !

im not getting in to any school ground nit picking ,ANYONE who takes the time effort and responsibilty to arrange a social has my respect and support . my thanks for all who use their spare time to organize the events for others .xx

"reading this post am pissing myself laughing at some o the things in it,

someone said about the ball,

steve n joe held the best socials out, and no one could beat them for entertainment and orginising,

just some prick had a grudge against steve n joe and ruined it for nearly everyone, more so new members,

and someone said is it a way to get a shag,,, NO ITS NOT AS ITS A NO PLAYING EVENT,

socials dying, mmmm so far ones we hold been ok,

and agree to run a social is hard, but personally a was peed off the socials always up in glasgow/fife/edinburgh, none in ayrshire, so jan does the hard work a do the entertaining,

as someone said, dont bitch about socials, if you dont like socials or venues, dont read, dont post and also dont come, simple I too am pissing myself laughing at some of the comments on here ...for one id never say anyone held the best socials over any other organiser yes jo n steve done a fabulous job in the organising of the socials they done as do each and every one of the social organisers yeah and that does include myself lol.how you can say such a thing when u havent attended each and every social i dont know ..and i think this is where the comments have come in of people thinking organisers are competing against each other .

I for one dont compete against anyone i organise the socials people who want to attend turn up and as ive said before its the people attending that make the socials a success ..so lets not turn it into she/he does a better social than him/her please ...merry christmas every one @;-)

lol your wrong as normal mrs d, thats why jo n steve was always a success, as they know how to put on a great venue and entertainment, as for me, jan and YOU , we could not even tie there laces, so merry xmas to all, "
beg to differ...jands held 1 social and the disaster of a masked ball that did not happen...if the 1st social was soooo great why change the venue.?

But hey I think whoever takes on a social are brave.

just a thought ..maybe its the nit picking ,one upmanship and the play ground mentality of some " there socials better than yours " which may put people off socials .not the actual type of social or venue the event held .

maybe less bitching and minding what others do and more just enjoying the events you want to attend in order . after all we are all adults capable of deciding what interests us and what doesnt or maybe i have too higher regard and faith in people .

Politics and bitching are on every swingers site and in fact we left the site Atomic Raven refers to because the organisers started banning folks they didnt like, limited the amount of single guys, etc,. so would say our experience was not as good as Atomic's.

nope you are spot on atomic we aint, but we were and left because of the reasons we quoted. glad this is not the case any more. we dont like the politics or the moaning so well done for what seem to be fun socials

you arent on the same site as the socials im refering to, i know, cause you've never been to my shop to buy the tickets for them x"
