Last one on *this* event gives my poor sad heart a hopeful beat.
It's difficult to talk to so many people isn't it? There are a few I'd love to have met/spoken to, going to make a real effort next time. |

Great to read the event was so successful and that the new organisers have continued the standards set by the original group.
Hoping the next date will work for myself and H to attend.
Merry Christmas you filthy animals  |

Thankyou. They were big shoes to fill indeed but i’d prefer it if if this was seen as a different event completely bit would be a shame to not have any event at all, I know how much people enjoy them.

It is! A good few people I wish I'd spoken to or spoken to more.
When I walked in there were so many people all chatting away and having a great time, I just ended up getting nervous and didn't want to interrupt anyone.
Mainly chatted to people I'd talked to before, or who were introduced to me.
Next time I will push myself and introduce myself to more though. |

I managed to talk to a fair few as I was going round getting donations. We probably won't be at the next one so maybe you could take that roll, great way to introduce yourself. X |

Soooo true.... I think we need a catwalk next time and someone to call out user names as we strut our butts
There was a gorgeous couple near us who i kept catching eyes with, but i was too shy to approach dammit.. Who the heck were they 
My DD had to physically march me over to meet the utterly gorgeous Lacey-Red  |

It was nice chatting to you (albeit briefly) and the fridge cake was delish!
I am the same … how do I wish I were as confident in person in group situations as I am online/on 1 to 1s…  but once the fear has been broken with the first social I will try to be more of an aporoacher and barge in on people and say hello! |

Use my strategy, roll up behind people at arse height, poke them to move, they turn round and hey presto! A chat might start. Very effective strategy. Alternatively, dress like a disco ball and blind people into submission  |

Finally home.
Reading this thread and the previous one seems I need to come up with a tactic to get strangers talking to each other, especially as some of you were at the pre social and still didn’t manage to touch base with each other.
I’m guilty of it too, as know didn’t say more than hello & what would you like to drink to some, just not enough time
Thinking cap on |

Maybe experienced people just introducing people to each other? Or maybe some talking points on a card? Like questions to ask each other? |

Yes, there was a few I paired up who asked who was who.
I once did an event two companies merging. As each person walked in they were given a card of a famous person and had to find their match from the other company. It got people circulating and talking.

If we briefly spoke then say hi, I did start getting a little overwhelmed towards the end and became a watch from the sidelines person. Next time I'll kick my own butt and make myself mingle more |

It did get a bit overwhelming and not from the drinks. My head was swimming trying to remember names and faces (or outfits or boobs) but I didn’t do very well. I did try to mingle so if we chatted and you want to say hi or be verified let me know. I was in the t coat and later the cargo kilt |

We are still smiling from the weekend and still have a few veris to write.
We chatted, and chatted, and chatted, oh and kissed a few people, all day/night long but still didn't get to meet everyone we wanted to.
We tried our hardest |

Maybe experienced people just introducing people to each other? Or maybe some talking points on a card? Like questions to ask each other?
Yes, there was a few I paired up who asked who was who.
I once did an event two companies merging. As each person walked in they were given a card of a famous person and had to find their match from the other company. It got people circulating and talking.

You could do a Fab bingo type thing. Have a list of things and find someone who has done it. Could be sexual or not. |

"Finally home.
Reading this thread and the previous one seems I need to come up with a tactic to get strangers talking to each other, especially as some of you were at the pre social and still didn’t manage to touch base with each other.
I’m guilty of it too, as know didn’t say more than hello & what would you like to drink to some, just not enough time

I didn’t get to speak to you either"
I know, I did ask who was the very tall fella but I never made it over to you. Maybe it’s because I resorted to my flats so early I needed a chair to talk to you Next time |

Hmmm.... Maybe some fun icebreakers... You get half of something and have to find the other half?? "
I've seen lock and key events before.
Everyone is given a lock and key.
One person has the lock for your key and you have to find them to win a prize. |

I spoke to Tea (and poked him) from my arse-sitting position, so no excuses |

I like that as you’d have to talk to a lot of people unless you got lucky on lock one |

It’s a cute idea. Reminiscent of the car keys in a bowl from the 70s (I hasten to add waaaayyy before my time ). |

"If we briefly spoke then say hi, I did start getting a little overwhelmed towards the end and became a watch from the sidelines person. Next time I'll kick my own butt and make myself mingle more
It did get a bit overwhelming and not from the drinks. My head was swimming trying to remember names and faces (or outfits or boobs) but I didn’t do very well. I did try to mingle so if we chatted and you want to say hi or be verified let me know. I was in the t coat and later the cargo kilt
You met /chatted with me twice but you were still like, who are you!? "
Yup. That sounds like me. Sorry. Also able to put my foot in my mouth a few times getting names and FPF pics mixed up.
Who are you again? |

I like that idea! Like an extended game of ‘never have I ever’ "

That’s what I’m thinking and used in the past "
The last social I went to they had made badges for everyone with random ice breaker questions which were quite fun….though it was a much smaller social so I’d imagine thinking and making that many question badges would be rather a large job! |

Blank badges and let people do it themselves?
The stickers were a good idea... well until someone took my 'cock' |

Just to let everyone know - I’ve just had a positive LFT after feeling rubbish since yesterday. Did a negative one Friday morning - so got it since then. I’ve booked a PCR test for this afternoon - obviously I’ll put the results on here - but in the meantime I’d suggest everyone I got close to do an LFT. Sorry folks. |

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Peachy. I hope you'll be on the mend soon. We both did LFTs today as well as my throat has been bad since Sunday and I had a headache all day yesterday, but ours came out negative.
Let's hope we will not all go down as dominoes

Hi K - suggest perhaps you do one for the next couple of days. I’ve done a thread for those who don’t look at this one and I’ll post the results of the PCR test when I get it.
Thanks for your well wishes. Xx |

Sorry to hear that Peachy, hope you feel better soon. I’ve been doing daily lfts since Thursday, so far all clear. |

Negative too here but will test daily for a bit. Had a pcr done too anyway through work
Struggling to remember who I have and haven't verified. And a few I've been verified by but due to filters can't verify back |

"Last one on *this* event gives my poor sad heart a hopeful beat.
It's difficult to talk to so many people isn't it? There are a few I'd love to have met/spoken to, going to make a real effort next time.
Soooo true.... I think we need a catwalk next time and someone to call out user names as we strut our butts
There was a gorgeous couple near us who i kept catching eyes with, but i was too shy to approach dammit.. Who the heck were they
My DD had to physically march me over to meet the utterly gorgeous Lacey-Red "
Oh hush. You're sweet. It was lovely to briefly meet you! |
