Michael Palaeologus Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I helped organise Forum drinks years ago, still organise the monthly curry club and know a number of other social event organisers. Lessons are:Don't expect or seek consensus about the date, just pick oneGive a months noticeTry and avoid personal chat on the thread, makes it seem cliqueyGo for a weekend, avoid obviously busy weekends though - bank holidays, beginnings of school holsSome people will complain, ignore them, if they were that concerned they would have organised it themselvesExpect some thanks, some complaints and a lot of seeming apathyAsk friends to post on the thread positively, that encourages more people to be positive and turn upExpect a limited turn out first time round, turning up to meet complete strangers can be a bit scaryDon't be discouraged if few people turn up first time round, these things gain momentum over timeSocial events often have a natural life cycle. A group of people meet, become friends and regulars, organise their own social meet ups, start to move away from ED and the social event fades away. That's lifeLike Charliebubs, I will come along and know other long term Forumites that will turn out.Just pick a date and a pub ........

You can't expect people to be free at short notice but give enough notice and promote enough and you should be fine - just be aware the summer isn't the greatest time to start as lots of people are away and more so than over the autumn / winter.

Michael Palaeologus Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 People chat when they meet.On the Thread organising the meet it can make the group sound cliquey and exclusive.

AlexandHelenC Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So, taking the advice into account, how about drinks at 8pm on Saturday 11th July in the Clockhouse?

AlexandHelenC Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Life, the universe and everything?Somewhat embarrassingly I got ahead of myself with this suggestion and overlooked the fact that we're not actually around on that date. Can I therefore suggest the following Saturday (18th) instead, same time, same place?
