We can chat openly at socials, unlike in a pub or coffee shop so yes, roll out the socials. A few years ago we used to arrange socials in closed venues with the option to play on site....... shame these venues are no longer around but go for it we would be interested | |||

I SAID THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WAS SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES FOR SAYING IT ." poor buck you where shot down a bit lol but we think socials are good things we also love our playtime. socials are good you get to meet likeminded people and you can put names to faces and see if there is an attraction after all not everybody wants to have fun with anybody we all have our likes and dislikes the days of keys in the fruit bowl are long gone. plus socials are a good night out and if you can play as well like you could at milford social or the masked ball all the better and as for meeeting to play, a night was trying to be arranged for 27th sept but as had to be cancelled read marts last post in the off the cuff camping weekend thread in forum says it all realy | |||

"You'd be better off arranging a night out around the town meet up somewhere and just all go out for the night , I find you can have a more relaxed drink and have a laugh that way I've not really had good experiences at the socials I find a few of the people arrogant especially if they have been (swinging or on the scene ) for a few years they think they invented having sex it's quite pathetic really and you see all the little clicks in the socials the same old ones who party and play together all the time and think they are the kings and queens of the swinging world trust me organise yourself a good night out on a Saturday in Swansea as let's face it its better than Llanelli lol and see how many you can get to come , I'm in and I'll bring a few like minded people with me " have to agree with this post, far too many cliques and very much a closed shop, we have been on the scene 10 years but have very limited time to play so socials with no playing involved are the last thing we want, we would rather just go to a club. We are experienced and know a lot of ppl on the scene but still feel the cliques are unwelcoming to newbies or ppl who don't meet very often | |||

But I have to agree with the above two posts. I've spoken to a few on here who've been and with what they've told me and all the comments I've read in the Wales forums on the numerous posts about Socials, it's totally put me off ever attending one! | |||

" I definitely think the way forward is to organise nights out , people feel more comfortable when your on a night out going to different places , but that's just my opinion not everyone would agree but at least if your in a town situation you can leave and go to different pubs or a club and enjoy your night if you don't enjoy the social where as you go to 1 place with everyone in and your kind of limited to stay there really | |||

" Although I live in North Wales, last november I decided to travel down and attent the Cardiff social...and I am so glad I did...got to meet a lot of very nice people and was able to put faces to names and everyone was very welcoming. I was planning to attend the next one next week but due to circs beyond my control am unable to make it and im gutted but all in all I have to say it was a positive experience for me ...I just wish they had them in north wales!! | |||

"We meet cpls socially but all these social events are a joke. totaly disagree with that statement total poppycock. the socials are a good night out and has for cliques never seen one, there are those that go together whom have been friends or swung together for a while and i dont see anything wrong in that. some may think that some are cliquey because they sit togehter and dont seem to mingle but ask yourself have you made the effort to go talk to them too? im fortunate cos ive gotta fire pmsl and she's very outgoing and we try to get around and say hello to everbody at socials cples single fems and single males alike its great to put names to faces we chat to in wales chat. has for robbos suggestion of a night out yep thats good too but at the end of the day that night too is a social of sorts. weve found the socials a very posative experience and have never met anyone arrogant or rude so all we can suggest is you make the effort to go up to peeps and say hello or if your shy and we are ther grab fire she will take you round and introduce you to peeps pmsl after all we are all there cos we love the swinging lifestyle.." | |||

The main difference with meeting people on a night out and not a social is that you can do your own thing and still have a good night out with others not just the (swinging ) community I agree meet up at 1 place and stay there for an hour or so but then move on to different places I personally feel its a better more relaxed atmosphere like that and as for the cliques they are most definitely there and the last Social I went to I met probably the most rude unfriendly person I might have possibly ever met and plus the arrogant guys who think they are the king of the swingers so you a in a situation either leave and not have a night out or stay in the same room with these people , but if you had the option to go to a different pub / club with the people you are getting along with I would think it would be a better night all round for everyone , but that's just 1 mans opinion | |||

"I think it's a shame that people are so put off the socials they feel unable to attend, we always offer new people to join us & we make every effort to introduce them to others & make the social a truly fun time. As for cliques, yes people do sit together in groups but those groups are generally quite fluid & as the night develops so the groupings change. If anyone has never been to a social but fancies trying but & isn't brave enough you're awkward welcome to join us & our many friends x" Well that's the nicest post I've seen on a 'social' thread! Usually when someone says anything negative they get shot down. I've heard a few negative things by speaking to a few people who've been, as well as comments in this and other threads. I also live right on the west coast so the distance is an off putting factor as well lol | |||

We all have different views and a forum is a place to display both positive and negative views. You have a positive view on the socials which suits you and that's great but others see them as the same old faces biging themselves up and preaching to everyone how great the socials are. It's always the same on here, if you don't agree with the preachers your expected to keep your mouth shut. I wouldn't recommend the socials to my worst enemy because it was shit but you would and that's fine by us. Just allow us to express our view as we do yours. | |||

Go have fun,chat dance,we wish we done them years ago.we intend on going to many many more .poppyxx You say there are no cliques, yet everyone else who's attended and commented on this thread have admitted there are! " hence I was gobsmacked...... although some have commented that there ISNT any when they have said to my face there is. | |||

Anyways I digress, There are cliques and by christ you go against the grain well...thats you out. Anyways we ain't sheep and I for one don't need to be accepted by anyone.... you like me great ....you don't well just let it be. This is meant to be about fun and frolics. Enjoy people. | |||

" there are odd individuals who seem to sirens their time trying to intimidate & bully others & try to spoil their night, I have experienced this at several socials now & you know what, I say fuck em & I enjoy the friends I have around me & they are many x" And that's great but you can understand why it could be off putting to newcomers who don't have those friends around them and be faced with those intimidating and bullying individuals! As I said earlier, Socials will be the bees knees for some and a definite no go for others. And if ever I decide to attend I'll start a thread about it lol [and that's a tongue in cheek comment before anyone says anything] | |||

"South Wales has more than it's fair share of socials and they won't suit everybody. There was a time when we would try never to miss a social, now however, with less free time and babysitters being thin on the ground we choose more wisely which ones to attend as we have found that every social (location) offers something different and there are some we prefer more than others. As for cliques, well that depends on what your opinion of a clique is, there are people at socials we know and who's company we enjoy so we spend a lot of the evening with them but not to the detriment of everyone else. I like to think we are friendly and try and chat to as many people as possible. I have no problems with people who have tried socials and don't enjoy them being negative about them but like all things I think you have to experience them for yourself (preferably more than one at the different locations)before you can write them off rather than taking somebody else's word for it." could not have put it better | |||

Really don't mean to offend you but that's the daftest things said on here so far. You have to be objective in life. If only the constant positive driffle was allowed on here then new swingers would be in for a hell of a shock when they arrive at a social. | |||

And they entitled to voice their opinion too.if you don't like them just don't come to them.if you did though you might be pleasantly surprised we never went for seven years .i find it hard to think you can have an opinion on something if you have never experienced one as you only got others experiences to colour your perception of what it might be like .poppyxx | |||

"socials are what you make them .If you are a outgoing person and walk around chatting to people and flirting(which by the way I NEVER DO )its great fun . IF you are a newbie and also happen to be nervous and shy to mingle maybe go with another couple who can introduce you to others..in short it all depends on your personality. all this said we still would rather attend a party lol xxxlove you all Buck " | |||

"The main difference with meeting people on a night out and not a social is that you can do your own thing and still have a good night out with others not just the (swinging ) community I agree meet up at 1 place and stay there for an hour or so but then move on to different places I personally feel its a better more relaxed atmosphere like that and as for the cliques they are most definitely there and the last Social I went to I met probably the most rude unfriendly person I might have possibly ever met and plus the arrogant guys who think they are the king of the swingers so you a in a situation either leave and not have a night out or stay in the same room with these people , but if you had the option to go to a different pub / club with the people you are getting along with I would think it would be a better night all round for everyone , but that's just 1 mans opinion _emo and holly arrange this the sat night out quite often and move around from pub to pub and they are good nights, and we as swingers tend to stick as 1 group which is best saves any misunderstanding with the vanillas and when you get to said pub and are meeting different people for the 1st time how do you tell who swings and who doesnt?. and you can do your own thing at a social the only thing you cant do is play at the venue hence the term social. not everybody is going to get on with everybody there will always be differences of opinions, but if you respect the fact that you are all there for the same reason there is no reason why you cant enjoy and robbo we are going to make every effort to attend the next social after cdiff cos we are away for that 1 so look up the date of next 1 in forums stick your name down and come say hi and i will introduce you to peeps if your a bit shy cant say fairer than that lol " That's very kind of you to say but I'm a very outgoing person and not very shy but if I ever do attend another social I will come introduce myself | |||

" Thats certainly not represented in the lists posted in these threads but I stand corrected. As stated we have attended and hated the experience as it was a shadow of the social nights we attended on a different site. Dont really give a hoot about them to be honest, just fed up of threads preaching their the best thing since sliced bread. And then to be told you shouldn't put negative views about them in the forums is a step too far x | |||

"We all have our own views so think this one is best left.....feel sorry 4 the guy who only out it up 2 sort a social out..... :- " me tooo that was the whole point of the thread not to debate socials and give negative views to those that go to them .however as usual thats what a thread like this turns into .which is why my original view was it was to be a more positive organisational thread than a debate of socials Perse .however even that got outed as being a negative opinion. poppy .good luck if you do get one off the ground .let us know.poppyxc | |||
