| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 4:54:29 AM | Right I'm going to take the plunge and try to arrange a meet in Swansea. I'm new here, I've not done it before and I have no idea what's involved but hey, how hard can it be?
So if you're interested, maybe some ideas on time of day, venue etc might be good. At the moment I'm just finding out how much interest there would be and what kind of thing folks might like to do.
Over to you people!

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 4:58:56 AM | There is now a UK meet event co-ordinator who I'm sure will help you out with stuff coz she's good like that.
Having arranged a meet - it really isn't that difficult, and I think there is, somewhere a thread with some swansea ideas on it. But off the top of my head - bowling, Singleton Park, beach (make a weekend of it down the Mumbles), swimming (!!!) and I think there is some botanical garden thingy. Of course not all those are feasible if the weather is not good.
And then there is the pub/club type thing.
Good luck | |

The OP & I have touched on bits and bobs, thanks for the people pointing me in this direction.
Nice to see the support being shown to potential new hosts | |

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 10:21:39 AM | Aitche and Ellie, you could always do what me and dec1an did, have a micro meet, just the two of you, to plan/research. It took us 2 months of meetings to work out what we wanted to do, you don't need to drag it out so much
We went out looking at different places and talking to folk, and went to a couple of pub/club type meets, essential research, we didn't want to go out at all, selfless like that us.
It's not hard, and the second one is even easier.  | |

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 10:59:18 AM | I believe Wes Packer one of the funniest comedians that hails from Wales that won.. 'So you think you're funny' on TV is doing a comedy gig on valentines day in Swansea, maybe The Grand.. would make a nice way for singletons to go out on valentines day and not feel left out miserable at home alone :p They might even find their potential soulmate at the meet, that would be a nice romantic success story..
If you sort it.. might even consider coming myself!  | |

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 2:20:20 PM | | what about a day at a health spa, or a driving range? | |

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/25/2008 4:07:50 PM | | Can we visit Mumbles and walk along the beach collecting shells please? I fancy a nostalgia trip... | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/26/2008 10:35:25 AM | Well, if nothing else I've learnt that Swansea has a comedy club!
Valentines' is a bit short notice though, unless enough people like the idea.
Keep em coming, I'm sure between us we can sort something out.
Health spa sounds pricey?

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/26/2008 10:57:00 AM | | I'd be interested in coming along; please though, just nowhere dodgy with sticky carpets !!!! | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/26/2008 1:32:56 PM | Hi aitche,
Good idea to have a meet in Swansea! Depending on dates I'd love to come along.
Let me know if you need a hand with any organising as I've organised a few similar events in my time  | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/28/2008 2:11:17 AM | | Hi Aitche, I am new at this too and didnt realise about the forums until Nordy69 told me!!! I think a meet would be really great. I am from Neath and so dont really know anywhere in Swansea (well Barons has gone now!) but any help you need just say Hi! hope to hear soon take care S xx | |
|
| |
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/28/2008 3:20:37 AM | There's more people on here from Swansea than I thought!
Thanks for all the offers of help, my organisation skills are not the best so all welcome.
Honeybee, where's your sense of adventure - that excludes everywhere I know.
Kate, be good to see you whether you can make the date or not.
I'm liking the sound of the comedy club on Valentines', anyone else fancy going? Just as a starter then maybe arrange a slightly more organised affair in March maybe? My taste in where to go may be a little left field for some (unless you all want to be introduced to the joys of psy-trance), we'll go with mainstream.
Thoughts please.

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/28/2008 5:48:35 AM | Hi babes I'll come along ( if only to pamper your gorgeous cats again ) I like the idea of the comedy club and I'm sure I'm not doing anything on Valentine's day  | |

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/28/2008 12:41:17 PM | | Sorry re message 16,whats psy-trance aitche ????? | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/28/2008 1:19:17 PM | Hi there, I didnt realise these forums existed! It would be great to have a get together and have a night out with like minded people. Thats the down side of being single, it's difficult to go any where by yourself  | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/30/2008 2:26:10 AM | Alska! Be lovely to see you.
So who else is up for the comedy club?
I haven't checked it out yet though, I'm relying on Tan y Ddraig's info (d'you see how I effortlessly passed the buck there? it's a skill)
Any preference for venues and dates in March?
Nordy, psy-trance is like music but louder.

| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/30/2008 12:35:02 PM | | i think id probably go .... depending when and where .... | |
|
| Swansea meet??? Posted: 1/30/2008 12:57:34 PM | Errrrr?
Tacky dressing up, not my thing, don't know about anyone else. As for vying for attention, I plan to sit at the back and watch. What would you turn up to, you might be surprised how many other people might be interested.
