Hi Over the weekend a discussion arose among our group that was unresolved <lol> so we thought we would ask the wider IC community for your votes and comments.Its regarding how far in advance do people plan their Kinky social diary. This is specifically refering to going to a club play night, as opposed to a munch or market. (A) Its a spur of the moment thing where you decide same night or a max of one / two days in advance. (B) You plan approx one / max two weeks in advance. (C) You consult the calender a month or so ahead of an event and plan accordingly.
Votes - thoughts - comments greatly appreciated With our thanks. NemesisD68 | |

We usually work up to two months ahead, sometimes longer. The planning time needed is proportional to the distance needed to be travelled. Nipping through to Glasgow on the spur of the moment is easy. A week's tour of Southern England needs planning of where to stay to link various events seamlessly with other stuff. Rohypnol means never having to say "Would you like another coffee?". | |

I pick out one event that is sure to be a great night and plan around it. Although that can be a challenge as there are so many to choose from just lately! Personally I have the oportunity to live the lifestyle everyday satisfying My needs! so going to events doesn't have the same meaning as it does to those without their own dungeon (not bragging honest!!!) The other issue of course is how many things you can pack into the weekend hours (hubby works away during week) and the time it takes to travel to and from events. If I didn't have the life I had and was stuck in an office all week I would be at every event on the board and probably create a few extras too! Be naughty so that I can spank you! Mistress Beth | |

We have to plan a couple of months in advance mainly due to finding childcare. Would love to be able to do last min decisions but that's not proving to be so easy. The more notice we have of something the easier it tends to be to get to it. lily | |

D) All of the above. For us it's D. Our kinky social calendar is tied in with or nilla social calendar. There are repeat events that we go to most months unless something major gets in the way. There are things we go to on occasion that we plan anything from one the night to month in advance. Like bonhanza, how far away often determines how far in advance something needs planned. It doesn't matter what type of event it is, distance, regularity of the event, the amount of notice given advertising a non-regular event, whether or not we need a hotel, whether we're travelling alone or with others, what other events we can link in with and what else is on the calendar. That doesn't preclude spur of the moment road trips though. "A life without pain has no meaning" Athrur Schopenhauer Edited 25 Jan 11, 2:06 PM by tiggerGlasgow | |

Actually events mean quite a lot to people who have their own dungeon but have nobody to play with in it! Haha i differ from time to time, depends on work, and other commitments, as to whether i need a day or a year to plan, i am going to a club friday night and panned that 12 hours ago.

I keep a watch for events I might be interested in but actually make the final decision two hours before I leave home. Rarely nowadays will I go anywhere that needs forward planning like hotels so it's really down to how I feel on the day and any other factors/influences. I attend solo or with my live on partner so don't often make arrangements to meet others as I know so many people now, it isn't a need to buddy up with anyone.

If it's a regular monthly event then usually I make the decision whether to go a couple of months in advance. If it's a one-off event , when I see the announcement I check my diary for that date . If it's free [ the date that is , not the event ] then it gets pencilled in & would only be 'scrubbed out' under exceptional circumstances.

I plan to go to my regular local club (Club Lash) every month, but cancel closer to the time if things come up. Clubs some distance away are usually part of a trip there for some other reason, and I check out what is on to fit in with that. The longest I plan ahead for are US events (I'm looking at a US event in August this year) and that usually starts the best part of a year ahead to fit in with holidays and to budget for the cost. :T: www.tanos.org.uk | |

I usually have to plan one to two months or so in advance, as our lives are so busy and so complicated. And we often go to events miles away from where we live. | |
