so many options, so little choice! Perhaps a munch every day of the week in London, working around the set pieces of the London Munch, DOcklands, Putney, Harrow etc.! Or an informal calendar, where people can sign up their local for an informal meeting point for each evening for anyone who's free. The old A to Z on the table trick! That could be fun! [/quote] How I see it so long as you can get 10 people to turn up. Go for it people go bingo midweek or to the local for one most nights. How many people use chat rooms every night. would it be better to talk face to face then use web boards a good network round london would be good for all, with the main london munch to bond them. After the last workshop 6 of use ended up in the pub over the rd we ended up haveing a great time it not how many turn up it's the fun you can have chatting. so long as you get a good group of people its a winner.aiso I aiso find club nights are good but. A chat in a warm pub is great to meet people and to get to know them more.

Yeah I agree. I don't get this sarcastic sniping and competitiveness - this will be a midweek munch which doesn't clash with any others and expects an attendance of about 10 to 15 people, just sitting round chatting in a pub. It makes more sense than 15 people who live within a few miles of each other sitting alone posting to IC or b.com all evening! Why the bloody negativity? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/northlondonmunchgr... | ||

As a very wise friend once told me, when your trying to organise
a group of people to turn up to an event, don't give them any options. The more options you give them, the less likely they'll be happy with any of them. So, advice to the people who actually want to organise the munch. 1. Pick a venue. 2. Pick a date. 3. Tell people when and where it is. There will always be people who are unhappy or to far away to get there, but they're not the people taking the time to arrange the event. Once people know when and where it is, it's very simple to say yes they will be there, or no they won't. What you won't have is lots of people discuss the why's and wherefores of a tuesday or wednesday night in finchley or hampstead... Mike. The Putney Munch putneymunch@gmail.com | ||

Very true Mike but we do need to let people have they say. as some people have good points to make. once I get a venue I will post it and setup the website. I have aiso worked out one of 2 dates to run it so not to be too close to any munches within Gtr London or football home games. all I can ask now is people that want to try the munch join the yahoo group so I can inform you all.

Ms Goth, play nice... Watford and Harrow are Outer London, and not easy to get back from if you are either not local or non car-enabled. In an area of 695 square miles, there is lots of room for lots of Munch activity! Buy my stuff! http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZnikolaanne | ||

Why doesn't someone start a munch for wankymen? we could all get together in a non-fetish social setting and wank away and relax together. | ||

Try the house of commons, it's full of wankymen

Nods. Providing it's fairly close to a tube I'm sure g and I could be tempted to wander along. Jubilee line is perfect for me and good for g. Picadilly line is perfect for g and good for me. And somewhere up the northern line is a good between the two compromise. Interestingly, I was chatting to someone at Putney (don't think it was mrboo, but apologies if it was, you know what a dozy Dom I can be <g>) who was also keen on the idea of something in the Islington area. General observations (do with them as you see fit). Location, location, location... Easily accesible by public transport and car. Your own room is nice, but if not look for somewhere where there's an obvious spot to congregate in. Somewhere fairly quiet. Loud music is a conversation killer. Ideally not too smoky (or smoke free with a corner / corridor to banish the addicts to) External surroundings not too "seedy" or "threatening". For a lot of first-timers, going to a munch is a huge step. So don't ask them to walk through an area that might make them feel uncomfortable. I know there are parts of London that g wouldn't want to walk through alone. Timing is everything... Having your munch on the same day (or the day before...) as the London munch, say, is probably not a wise move. It's quite likely that quite a few north London folk probably also go to Watford. So having yours within a day or two of Watford might not be too clever either. I know that when Mac was thinking about Putney we sat there peering at a calendar weighing up the pros and cons of different days. Just do it... I can understand some of the concerns about the scene becoming too "fragmented". But there is undoubtedly a need for smaller, more localised events. One of the things that surprised me about both Croydon and Putney was the number of me people I/we met there who we've never seen anywhere else. So there undoubtedly is a demand for events where people can "dip a toe in the water" before going on to something bigger. How shall I put this politely... Perhaps people who question why all these new munches are springing up should actually attend a few of them. They might pick up a few ideas about why these munches are to be encouraged. Go for it! (P.S. apologies to people we owe memos and e-mail replies to. We are still playing catch-up).

Good for you, Boo! I agree entirely with your sentiments in setting up this group. I can't promise I'll make any particular dates, but it gives me another opportunity to meet up with lovely munch-folk.
I hope its a smash! |
