People sometimes say this day or that day is best for them. But what is the General opinion, as to the best Day and Time, for them to attend an Event. | |

As a couple with kiddies and very limited childcare, weekday mornings suit best, or Saturday afternoon/evening. You know they say it's always the quiet ones you have to watch? That's me. | |

Saturday - and start it early so that the oldies can have time to play and still get home to bed at a sensible time! Seriously - start earlier than late evening. If you start a club at 9pm, by the time eveyone arrives, get's the social banter out of the way, admires everyone else's new clothes and toys, has a few drinks etc, play doesn't start until about midnight, only leaving 2 or 3 hours until kicking out time, and everyone fights over equipment and space. So starting at 7pm might help spread the load a bit. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow – anon | |

Do you mean a club or a munch or anything fetish related ? For munches my preference is a Friday evening (prime example being the London munch) where people are buzzing at the start of the weekend.

Friday and Saturday evenings, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Those of us with jobs either have to leave munches far too early or be horribly tired the following day, hence why I like that the London U35 and the all-age munches are Saturday and Friday night respectively. | |

When we had putney munch on a Monday it was rammed. When we moved it too Thursday, it was still rammed. People will come if the event is something they want to go to. No matter when you put it, someone will complain about it not being ideal, but then they'd probably not make it to your event anyway, they're just looking for a reason not to make it. You can't serve everyone. Find a date suitable for you, ideally one which doesn't clash too much with competing events, tell everyone it's then, then cross your fingers. If you find the date awkward, what good is it if you can't go to your own event? Being at a location people can get too makes just as big a difference. Eg a poor location on a friday night may well be worse than a good location on a thursday. And by location consider access by rail, road, tube, buses etc. Mike.

We've held Ann and Roly's parties on a number of days and times over the years. Saturday evenings, Sunday evenings, Wednesday daytimes and Thursday daytimes, together with the occasional bank holiday. We've had parties that start at 10am, 1 pm, 6pm and 8pm. I don't think there's such a time as a bad time for a party ( within reason ). I'm constantly surprised at the number of people who turn up for daytime parties, even more so to see that we get young couples turning up for them, when we would have conventionally expected them to be working. If you hold an event early, people can still use public transport, but if you finish at 4am, the options for getting home afterwards are somewhat limited. My conclusion is that if you organise a good event, the time and the location don't make that much of a difference in themselves. People will come along anyway. The only factor that I do feel is important is what is on nearby at the same time ? If an established event is happening nearby, why would you expect to attract people away from it ? | |

I can't give a general opinion, I can only give mine. The best day and time for any event is the day and time I can get to it. This varies but it needs to be when I'm not at work, which mostly rules out daytimes. Unfortunately it can also sometimes rule out evenings and weekends. I don't really like going to things on a Sunday night, though I have done and don't mind too much if it is close enough to where I live and I don't mind at all if I'm not at work on the following day. So to sum up, there is no ideal day and time for something for me, it all depends on what else is happening in my life. I've been to events on every day of the week at some time in the past. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
