ABERDEEN AREA LATE SEPT sh

Newcastle

Organising a 6 bedroom venue for an all night affair. Adequate room for about 20 people. Just gauging interest. Mixture of folks but obviously couples and ladies will get priority.

Select single males will be welcome but you will have to be invited by one of the couples or ladies who will be attendiing.

This is not a commercial venture. Totally FOC.

BYOB.

Licensed venue within 2 minute walk which serves good food at good value prices.

If you are interested you must be verified. Age and status immaterial. As long as you have an adventurous mind and high sex drive and take people at face value. I will not divulge who will be attending as I have to respect other members privacy.(Non negiotable)

Attendees must be verified but the organiser isn't? That may put quite a lot of people off.

Good luck in your venture though

I was mistaken I apologise, not easily to clarify when blocked.

Good luck with your event however, I'm sure with the attitude displayed so far you'll have a lot of interest!

I never question it, people all have their own reasons and each one is valid, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Discussing reasons behind individuals blocking isn't the point of the post though so let's not get dragged into any kind of petty argument.

As I've said, good luck with your event, I hope it's very successful.

Very good attempt, Aberdeen definitely needs something,I think it would work well.

I am not sure about the single guys have to be invited by a couple or female part because the swing scene is not strong here , the best way might be invite people to the licensed venue then they can go to the apartment afterwards if they like .

Try to work with J or hand it over to her if you want it to succeed, she is fast becoming a superstar and a force to recognize on the Aberdeen scene because she has an amazing personality and is very good with people.

To be fair, the 2 socials I've been involved with have been organised in collaboration with Busty. If she hadn't contacted me ahead of the last one it may not even have gone ahead as I was brand new to the site and had no idea how to organise one. It's not as straight forward as it looks and I'm very much following Busty's lead and I certainly can't take the credit for them.

Exactly, hand it over to J and Busty , people like them and they both have a friendly personality , it is better parties have a female face so that the ladies can be free with them and speak to them, guys love them too cause their presence lights up the room , if you do it on your own, it might not work.

I think its good to have socials and events organised by different people, we all know the area could use it. So I say good luck to the OP. He has various verifications so I see no reason to trust him any less than a female organiser that I don't know...

Yes babe, but you can see from the post that there is a bit of struggle with the single guys , the ladies don't have that problem and all the socials they organized was an amazing success, they both went round speaking to everybody, they both bring different things to the table, busty and J have presence and magnet people, come to next social and see how many people from Glasgow and Edinburgh will be there , that is to tell you they are a force to reckon with

yes bisty and j have done a great job of organising their events from what I hear. But that doesnt mean there is no room for others to do so. I note the first two negative comments on this post were from others who regularly host events. Why should that be? We should all be glad to see efforts being made to lift the scene locally. Is it that horrific to think a verified single male might organise a decent event? And you coming on this thread to tell the OP he should pass his endeavour to others if he wants a success seems plain rude. But of course it gives you an excellent sucking up opportunity given the organisers you are recommending are both female...

OP perhaps ask admin to scrap this thread and start a new one. As this one has been sadly hijacked

Babe you have a point, I believe the sky is wide enough for all birds to fly, now you know me, I don't suck up to anyone, especially sucking up for pussy, I don't do that, I am not interested in them sexually even though they are beautiful ladies, I only commented because I noticed the op could be having a struggle with single guys , If the op had not showed that weakness, I would have said why not. Its very simple, balance the amount of couples, single ladies and single guys.

Certainly don't think anyone needs the help of either J or I to organise an event, to be fair we've organised a couple of socials which isn't the same as organising apartment parties such as the OP, something we've never done.

I've always been very vocal that Aberdeen needs to catch up with Dundee and the central belt which sees many different socials organised regularly by many different people, something to cater for all tastes. This is something that's desperately needed in our sleepy little town.

I apologised to the OP for my initial post stating he was unverified (somehow when I initially clicked his name it came up with a blank profile with no green tick etc, on a second look I have been blocked and obviously according to the OP have been for some time). I've since wished him well with his efforts.

Thank you all for your comments.

As the venue may not be as large as some others space is limited. I can only invite a small amount of people and I will be doing my best for a healthy balance for all.

I may not be as experienced as some other organisers but I will do my best. If I fall flat on my face then it wont be for the lack of trying.

If each invited person(s) takes a guest that they know and comfortable with at least they can go to their own room and partake in whatever floats their boat.

As the event is not costing them anything all it is to them cost wise is their time,effort and beverages.

All I am doing is arranging the venue, attendees(hopefully all with similair interests) bed and breakfast.

If it works then good. If it does not then at least I tried.

If I gain 1 new friend then it is a success.

Respectfully yours.

And all you can do is try OP, you'll never please all the people all the time. Organising socials can be draining, often people don't understand that we aren't professionals, we aren't doing this for profit or personal gain, merely to try and improve the scene locally. Quite often it leaves us exhausted and out if pocket but like you say it's worth it if you meet even one person!

If I can help in any way please let me know x

Agreed, trying to organise anything takes a lot of time, effort and stress. My lodge parties took 5 months of planning and vetting each time!

As i have been here a while under different profile names i would like to take this opportunity to inform people that there used to be a cpl who used to run great social events and anyone was invited to the social and it was never done with tickets as people used to complain that why should there have to be a cost to meet people new , now it was even open to people who where on there blocked list as they felt that when it came to these events everyone would act like adults and leave there differences at the door and behave themself as all did and there events where cool , now where this cpl have went no one knows as the last event they where going to hold got cancelled ( all who where going to attend told ) and no one has heard from them since so to me thats the way they should be run .As to the person having a pirvate party that is a different thing alltogether and needs people to encourage it rather than dismiss it and maybe it will come off for the guy

Well the girls running the birthday bash social did ask if people minded paying to attend so they could add more features to the night. And clearly people didn't mind that. Its up to people actually running an event to decide how they want to run it, people will vote with their feet and it seems the bash is going to be a very successful night. Well done to them. I don't see the need for anyone trying to do something good for the scene to be run down. Anyone going to that effort deserves a thumbs up in my book. As for your point about blocked people attending well I guess that depends on the reason for blocking them. I have peeps on my block list for stuff like posting too many pictures I dont want to see, I would see no reason to stop them attending. But if I had someone blocked for being abusive would I want to invite them to an event I have worked hard on? No. So why should anyone else.

Just to point out, we have never stopped anyone attending purely because one or both of us have them blocked. There are plenty of attendees who have been blocked on our profiles who have had no problem coming to the social. The ones who are told not to try to attend as they won't get in are people who have been abusive and deliberately tried to cause trouble. Why should one or 2 trouble makers spoil it for all the other well intentioned fabbers? There are pros and cons of having a free open social and the cons are the reason we've ticketed this one. It allows us to hire a venue and avoid lurkers. Discretion being quite important in the circumstances. Everyone who attends then shares the costs. Without that we couldn't do it and pay the entire cost out of our own pockets. J

Good points and why should anyone be expected to run a social and be out of pocket? I don't believe people think you are doing this for financial gain. If they do they should try the stress of organising any fab social or party, they would soon find there's a million easier ways to make money! I hope your event is a success, seems it will be.

"As i have been here a while under different profile names i would like to take this opportunity to inform people that there used to be a cpl who used to run great social events and anyone was invited to the social and it was never done with tickets as people used to complain that why should there have to be a cost to meet people new , now it was even open to people who where on there blocked list as they felt that when it came to these events everyone would act like adults and leave there differences at the door and behave themself as all did and there events where cool , now where this cpl have went no one knows as the last event they where going to hold got cancelled ( all who where going to attend told ) and no one has heard from them since so to me thats the way they should be run .As to the person having a pirvate party that is a different thing alltogether and needs people to encourage it rather than dismiss it and maybe it will come off for the guy

Well the girls running the birthday bash social did ask if people minded paying to attend so they could add more features to the night. And clearly people didn't mind that. Its up to people actually running an event to decide how they want to run it, people will vote with their feet and it seems the bash is going to be a very successful night. Well done to them. I don't see the need for anyone trying to do something good for the scene to be run down. Anyone going to that effort deserves a thumbs up in my book. As for your point about blocked people attending well I guess that depends on the reason for blocking them. I have peeps on my block list for stuff like posting too many pictures I dont want to see, I would see no reason to stop them attending. But if I had someone blocked for being abusive would I want to invite them to an event I have worked hard on? No. So why should anyone else.

i nevet once tried to run anyone organising an event in fact i was only putting across that the socials i attended when done buy the couple where never a ticket event and if you look at the end off mine you will see i have mentioned about encouraging such events from anyone . again some person not reading the post correctly thanks

Just to point out, we have never stopped anyone attending purely because one or both of us have them blocked. There are plenty of attendees who have been blocked on our profiles who have had no problem coming to the social. The ones who are told not to try to attend as they won't get in are people who have been abusive and deliberately tried to cause trouble. Why should one or 2 trouble makers spoil it for all the other well intentioned fabbers? There are pros and cons of having a free open social and the cons are the reason we've ticketed this one. It allows us to hire a venue and avoid lurkers. Discretion being quite important in the circumstances. Everyone who attends then shares the costs. Without that we couldn't do it and pay the entire cost out of our own pockets. J

Good points and why should anyone be expected to run a social and be out of pocket? I don't believe people think you are doing this for financial gain. If they do they should try the stress of organising any fab social or party, they would soon find there's a million easier ways to make money! I hope your event is a success, seems it will be."

Thank you! I think the majority of people do get it and are more than happy to contribute. I think doing things this way really protects people a lot more. You feel a level of responsibility and it's difficult to juggle that and keep things as inclusive as possible. It's worth it though, we've met loads of cool people and had a really good time doing it so the stress is (mostly ) worth it, haha. Thanks again, appreciate the encouragement.

Yeah,I hope we get to the point where we have events parties,weekend breakfast meetings etc every two weeks by different organizers, why not , throw it open, let people get to meet each other, if they like each other they play,if they don't fancy each other they leave.

Everytime I travel down south, I always meet single girls , couples and single guys from up north, their main complain has always been the attitude of the people up north is not encouraging.

So we have to change that attitude within the community here and that change starts with us.

I like the proposed idea of making available a point to play should people fancy each other, this is something no other event has included before, so it is a very welcomed idea. You can make it a ticket event instead of going out of your pocket and it will do very well.

Not getting into a slagging match but i never at anytime in any off my replies say any organiser should be out off pocket for an event they sort as the girls did 1 before at no cost to anyone and by there own words it was a hell of a good night which i know this to be true due to the comments made ,

All i have asked is to give the OP the same respect that the girls are getting as the site is meant to be a equality site but looks like some people decides from the start not to do this and that is why this post has went off track .

If the people out there feel so strongly about the thread why dont they organise their own event.

Plenty written about this one. Perhaps their efforts could be put to better use such as having their own event .

I rest my case.

Because those who are so vocal with negative opinions or criticisms never get off their behinds to actually organise something themselves!

Sorry to hijack the post OP but can I make it clear that the reason we are organising a ticketed event is because feedback from 2 previous ones showed there were people who would like one...and so far almost 100 people from all over Scotland have agreed by buying tickets.

Yes an open pub night is good, there's no denying that. But the downside was a lack of private space, fears of bumping into vanilla friends and never being quite sure if people you're chatting to are from the site, and reduces lurkers. So we asked of people would like a more private party and the majority said yes. So we booked a private function suite with DJ. Which comes at a price. Add on a small buffet, decorations and party bags and the price mounts up. So we charge a ticket price which I feel is quite reasonable (and obviously almost 100 people agree).

Now that's not to say there shouldn't be open, non ticketed socials, there's room for both yo accommodate for various people's preferences.

I'd love to see more organised locally, I for one would love to organise a social without the stress and pressure of organising it.

Sorry your post has been hijacked OP. Hope your own organising is going well x

Agreed, a lot of work goes into organising events and I think most people appreciate our efforts.

Yet still in Dundee if either myself or the lovely people who organise the big socials don't organise something, then nothing happens.

I started hosting socials and parties because nothing was going on so I had to make it happen.

There's plenty of room for all different kinds of events, paid and unpaid. Just need more people like us willing to organise something.

I love the socials the ladies organise , I get a lot of meets from the socials so it suits me fine, I like the face to face approach and am sure there will be a lot of hot girls from Edinburgh , Glasgow , dundee, perth etc so it works perfectly for me.
