Count me in for this area.
We would be interested if anything were to be set up.
Hi Guys... Love to attend a NW newbie meet. Bowling would be GR8 fun. How's about the Megabowl in Didsbury? How's about Thursday March 9th? It wouldn't interfere with the weekends but close enough so that people will be in a w/e frame of mind.
Love to meet up and socialise with you guys.
Mail me if interested...
mwah!
Like we said in our PM Fab, give us a shout if we can do anything and put our name down for the event, be good to meet up and have a laugh with SH users new and old in a social setting!! cool
NOMINATION
---------------
Location: Preston, Lancashire
I'm nominating myself for Preston social organiser.... non of this "you have to be a couple" lark.... basically if you want a night out with some fab people.. or you'd just like a quiet natter about what a "freedom of choice" life style means for them then get in touch
Oh yes.. this is not a way to "get your rocks off" or crowding around certain people and making them feel uncomfy (i will politely ask you to beat it)
seems like a great idea! would be nice to be able to meet up with some of the new folk (like me) and some of the more experiance ones (nearly said old hands, but thaught that may warrant a slap, but in the end said it anyway! doh!)
if there is one organised for either south east scotland, edinburgh, glasgow or the north east of england i'll go to any of them! i live in the sticks you see, but i can travel no problemo!
cheers

Hiya Fabio
I think it's a great idea.
I've been to a few socials around Derby/Chesterfield/Sheffield - one of them was organised specifically for newbies.
You can count me in to help out :thumbup:
thanks everyone especially Steph and i will pm you later for lots of Advice (have a big list!!) and will read the Advice in here. Would love to go to the meet but cant do Saturdays sad and the bf being a 'man in uniform :P ' is working ..... but another time though would be great.
glad weve been made to feel so welcome by you all and cant wait to eventually meet you all
Im sure myself and will_32 would be very willing to assist in any way we can with a manc / bolton area get together. I love helping out newbies to relax! :twisted:
We could have a SH "Night of Social Meets", everybody from each different area gathering on the same evening as the biggest gathering of swingers throughout the country all meeting up for a great evening!!
we could have a fight to the death for those people wanting to attend a social who live on the borders of each neighbouring area, the winner getting the person, or people causing said ruccus to attend their social!!
A SH rossette would be given to the person organising who gets the most number of attending members!!
we might even get in the Guiness Book of World Records, call Roy Castle, errm on second thoughts that could be slightly difficult
Sorry i have been drinking coffee all morning lol :lol: :lol:
I'd love to attend, it sounds like a great idea! It's exactly what I need, just to have met some people from the site and have a laugh.
Helps my rep too. Yeah, my rep, y'all *gansgta pose*
Anyways....
Get more details, and as long as it's not TOO north, sign me up!

Sounds like a great idea. My two concerns are that you nice experienced folks are going to get swamped by us newbies....and that it needs to be made abundantly clear to the newbies that these are social and informational meets - ie nobody should attend thinking they've got a quick passport to any other kind of meeting....:-)....but then I'm sure that can be managed.
It would be great to meet the faces behind the names and comments lol
So let us know any of the northwest dates and we will try and get to them, not that I will have much to share but I certainly have lots of questions :lol:
Great idea I think all us newbs could benefit from this just tell me where to go and i'm there biggrin
Steff my Dave would be willing to b DJ also ...hes been a DJ since he was 15 yrs old and has even worked on a local radio stn
As for bowling ..we'd love that altho Im crap Dave is good and hes got his own balls too....I mean bowling balls ffs
lol

I totally understand what you're saying hun - one one hand it's kinda scary for 'noobie's - you lot (ok ok -some of you) may think we're raving nymphomaniacs, and we'll jump at any opportunity for some fresh meat lol rolleyes , like the regs are gonna corrupt you and eat you alive or something :shock: :lol: biggrin
Let me assure you right now, when we say 'social meet' we mean social meet. I think is idea is a really good one. It has been discussed before but generally decided against generally because of the risks involved ...... as in, how do 'we' know that Mr Noobie Nice Guy isnt from the News of the World??? How many people would it take to control Mr I thought I was guaranteed a shag so I want one NOW' ??? - am sure you get my drift....
anyway, as it stands, with the massive influx of 'noobs' and the shher number of people who are posting questions and queries and needing help (and I am talking about the genuine ones here - although how do 'we' know who's genuine??? confused ) it looks like there has been a change of heart, and believe it or not, the regulars do want to help you and give advice etc
The problem is, and as daft as it sounds, we would be doing this at actually quite a big risk to ourselves I think, for the reasons given above. However - I for one certainly see the benefit of the opportunity to meet some new faces socially - wheat from the chaff so to speak. Those who are here for the 'lifestyle' and who are genuinely interested and curious about the whole swinging scene would honestly be welcomed with open arms - those who are not, and here for a quick shag would very very quickly be sussed out anyway. But, this illustrates why Fabio has expressly asked for volunteers to help.
I just feel that I have to reitterate, SOCIAL ONLY means just that - like a group of friends or colleagues going for a beer after work etc - and that's all something like this would be. Do not worry about 'things' being expected of you - cos there wont be other than a friendly smile and an open mind. Similarly anyone turning up to a social meet for newbies expecting to jump right on in there at the deep end and it being an opportunity to touch/ grope/ shag anything that moves will be sorely dissappointed - and very swifty removed! Also, just because you've attended a 'newbie' meet, does not automatically entitle anyone to access to Munches & private parties etc - these are purely at the discretion of the organiser and will remain as such.
What such social meets will enable is for those with any genuine questions etc to come along, meet 'us', see that we dont have two heads and live permanently with our legs open ( :roll: ) etc, and that actually we are nice people and we do welcome 'new blood' - because lets face it, without you, the 'scene' would die anyway. :cry:
I for one am certainly willing to give this a go..........there will be much discussion I would presume before anything gets arranged though. And I'm still not doing bowling! :lol: wink
great idea!!! I'd love to come to something for newbies, especially where the balance of sexes was maintained. I am in southern scotland but can travel within reason

The balance of the sexes wont really be taken into account as it will be purely a social event, as Darkfire described above, like a drink after work for mates.
Ideally we are trying to find a nice quiet pub were we could all just meet up, have a chat and hopefully help with any questions that people have. It will be a risk to all of us, becuase as Darkfire so elequently put it, we dont know you, and we are taking the risk that you are infact genuine and not a reporter or something similar. I know that for any events I organise, I will only give out details to people who I actually feel are genuinely trying to get involved with this community. If it is your first post, then you wont get an invite, if you have done some postings and have shown that you want to be involved, then you will get details.
Also anyone who is invited must realise that only those on the list will be welcome and that details of the venue etc must NOT be posted on the forums or given to anyone, even if they say they know the details etc. We must also stress that the night will not be an invite to play, it will just be a social night out!
I am hoping to find a suitable venue this weekend and will get something posted early next week. I have noticed that two regulars from the North West have agreed to help (big thanks to VickyUK and Redmancgirl & Will kiss ) but if there any other locals who would be interested in helping out, then please give us a shout!
Im actually looking forward to this and meeting some nice new friends lol
Missy: You mean I may finally get the chance to meet you????

Hehe Missy, my secret maybe given away then. You'll find out I really am a.........................
a woman! biggrin wink :D
I have in fact always been a woman, thats besides the point! lol lol :lol:
Be good to meet an put some faces to names after all these years of hanging around here hehe

I'm with you there NWC!
Even a social meet for Newbies wont be open to someone who's only posted once or twice ! I know I keep doing the 'us' and 'them' thing here, and I shouldnt really cos it's wrong .......... but 'we' regulars are actually pretty damn good at spotting the genuine folks from the chancers - but it makes it a hell of alot easier when people are already displaying an interest in the 'community' generally and are starting to join in - by posting in threads, contibuting to discussion etc, asking relevant questions etc - and be warned, we can spot the 'quick-shag brigade' a mile off :lol:
After all, it's not only 'us' who are taking risks by doing this - many of you are trusting 'us' to organise these social meets so they are an occasion where you can meet respectful like-minded folk and feel comfortable, secure etc - and not get hassled, jumped-on, pestered , heckled, flamed or laughed at for asking what you might think are 'stupid' questions etc etc etc etc etc.
We are all noobies at some point or another ya know! wink its not like this lifestyle comes with a manual! Common sense, guidance and experience count for alot, and we all know its good to share! biggrin
Marvellous idea ! ! !
I'd be more than happy to show anyone how to wobble wink

Well it wouldnt be a wobble, I mean social without you there :wink:
Welcome back, hope you didnt get too much sun lol
i can understand the concerns raised about inviting unknown newbies to a social gathering and as i only joined the site a couple of days ago i may be considered too new a newbie to receive an invite, that would be a shame from my point of view as i joined up mainly from the social point of view.
as it has been stressed several times in this thread it would be a purely social event and i as a newbie find that quite reassuring and would feel comfartable attending, should i not receive an invite then i'll accept your decision and the reasoning behind it but if an event is organised in the west yorks region i'd like to be part of it.

I have a Question ! Sounds a good idea but how would a newbe social differ from a social social ? During my motorcycling days a well known motorcycle club invited "prospects" and after a while one would then get invited to club events is this what you mean? a sort of try out to see if you are the "right" sort ?

hi peenut dont think its an initiation type of meet its more i hope for people to just to meet others from the site in a nutral situation smile designed for people who may not want to be involved in or feel a bit self consious at a full on munch/social where they may feel a little insecure as all/most will be regulars who all know each other.
think this is right someone please feel free to correct me if im wrong :)
