We used to arrange the socials, they are not difficult to do. The hardest part is finding some where to have it. Town centre costs money and out of town people moan about getting there lol. We would attend one so good luck if some body tries to organise it |

I am surprised that no one has picked up on this and needless to say posted a Cardiff social,its a great catchment area and obviously a lot of interest  |

Its also very difficult to find a decent venue that doesn't cost a bomb to hire. |

I'm think I'm confused. I thought a social was just all people meeting in a pub for a drink and to be social. Can we not do that in any pub. What's the room hire for. I'm sorry to sound so silly and new. |

That's what usually happens for a day social. Night socials tend to be more of a party atmosphere in a function room of some kind. Usually music too. They're great fun. No playing tho as it's only a social. |

Just out of curiosity when the previous Cardiff Socials took place where they weekday daytime events in a pub or evening ones in a private venue  |

They used to be on a sat night in a brill venue organised by joan who worked hard to get that venue and put alot of effort into running a top social.
But alas some could not respect the golden rule which is you dont play on the premises at the social and the venue was lost.
Other venues were tried but were not as popular as the one that was lost and it stopped for a while.
Pfc held one and came in for some uneccessary flack in the forum.
At the end of the day good venues are hard to come by especially for our lifestyle we are lucky we still have great venues for the newport and swansea socials respectively.

Well it would appear that the only way forward would be a initial daytime social that could be arranged to test the actual interest and obviously without any financial out lay,then based upon the take up a evening one at a private venue |

There's a number of factors finding a private venue for an evening Cardiff social on a weekend. It needs to be a reasonably priced venue for drinks, as some venues sting you. It needs to be central, and that is now hard to find. The main one is, you need to be honest with the management, as a lot are not interested in having a swingers social. There aren't many venues in the town centre now, and the ones that are there are normally booked up in advance due to weddings etc. |

Well taking your observations into account a evening social in a private venue would be a non starter,hence the daytime social being a good starting point Casanova |

As mentioned above, by another forumite, day time socials are great for the people who don't work during the day or who don't have other commitments during the day. ... that's why the evening socials are very popular by a lot of other people.
Good luck in your venture of setting up a Cardiff day time social |

True but then again there are members with children who would probably find a weekend evening impossible and as there are Evening events that are well supported within a sensible travelling distance I still think that a Cardiff weekday social would work Casanova |

I think you are missing the point.
Cardiff social was, when it was established, very well supported as a weekend evening function, so there is no need to "test the water" as it were.
The daytime socials attract fewer attendees as most people are working, and from the feedback I have seen, they have a different "feel" to them. I'm certainly not knocking them, anyone who organises any event to the benefit of others is to be applauded, but I cant see why people are trying to re-invent the wheel. |

Nothing wrong at all! I've often thought about arranging one. However, in this case I assumed the OP was looking for a weekend social akin to those in Newport and Swansea. |

Seems to be a fair bit of interest. I didn't really think about if it was to be a daytime, evening or weekend social. I'm fortunate to be able to attend either one of those but I know some people who can't. For me personally I think I would prefer either a weekend or evening social. But each to their own. If there's enough interest for a daytime social definitely go ahead and arrange one I'll try and look into arranging one at some point aswell if anyone would like to help me? |

When it first started we all just met in one of the pubs in the city centre.
Back then we diddnt need to hire a room we just all met at a set place at a set time, chatted, and went out separate ways sometimes in groups
Nobody was the wiser of who or why we were there. Eventually the social got so big it was taken on by somone who hired a function room and it went from there. |

It's actually a community within Swansea not a town if you want to be pedantic about it.

Neath Newport Swansea and various other Socials are posted on this section by their location and perhaps if you took the trouble to read them you would discover that the postings in themselves state more than has been posted on this thread Casanova |

The other socials are careful not to give out locations, even pre-social drink venues are carefully discussed.
