Well I have kept out of all forums for the week and now I think it's time I replied to all to last weeks meet and greet.
Firstly I would like to thank Bedtime baby and Suzie for their support in helping me get this event done. It was hard work which people don't realize has to be done. I would like to thank crazy girl the elephant man tatts silver stud Mr and Mrs macmullys Clyde and all the girls who helped sell kiss tickets and instant access if I forgot anyone I do apologise. I would like to give a big thank you to Looney tunes who kept the floor rocking.
This event started out as a small event but turned out very large quickly. It was done in the way beds did the kiss tickets and got them printed, Suzie's arranged dj I did everything else arranging venue booking room and sending mails and invites, the reason for this if anything went wrong it was me to deal with the fall out no one else.
I am sorry everyone could not attend but I was fair in sending invites out and soon realised it was going to be over booked. I did not send out invites to be popular but to give all the same chance.
I would like to thank everyone who attended on the night and made the night a success for the ones who could not come and sent me mail saying they could not attend thanks to those, but to who never replied and had invite it would be more polite to let us know as we deprived others who may have come.
As most are aware this night was for charity and we raised short of €3000 euro which has now been given to the beneficiaries.
I would also like to say something as most know I was called sat afternoon by general manager to ask could I meet him later in evening he told me of a few complaints from the Friday night.
I met him and another manager and had frank discussion with them and contrary to Chinese whispers going around and certain peoples named being used it was not over them I was being given out over the hotel received 2 phone calls asking where the charity swing night was being held what room and for what this made hotel nervous.
I discussed all aspects of night with hotel but they did put 2 security inside so event went off and due to my meeting we got free bar extension for a futher 1.5 hours all seemed to go great from there and everyone seemed to enjoy.
I took all the flak that night and I also got calls later in week which I sorted may I say it's unfair of anyone from site to make any trouble for others when they do not have all the facts the people there on night should be given their privacy as I mine what happens on tour should stay on tour.
I would also like to thank anyone who donated spot prizes a big thank you. But would also like to say the
event is over and not fair still to say was badly arranged and badly run even if you think that.
People make any night their own its about meeting and mingling not about false pretences.
And no I did not do event to become popular as I did not even have meet in my name and for the people who know me well I don't do site politics and am there to chat to anyone and always try to do just that
Ps sorry if I sound annoyed but I have taken so much abuse this week and it's unfair
Regards
Ger

Hi Ger. im sorry to hear that you been given grief, i just cant understand that, u put so much time and efort with others to make this a great night , and do people remember that you did this for a great cause, and not for urself..there must be so many jealious people out there, but believe me you are one of the nicest people i have met, you all made me feel so welcome there..i just takes 1 or 2 ro ruin it for the rest of us, but it all went well in the end..
You should be proud of urself cause i am ..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To those who put the effort in to make it a night I am proud to say I have had some involvement in ……… I feel the majority off replies say it louder than I can …………… Great nigh out ………. To those who feel it ok to divulge information in regards to venues and causes It really didn't have the desired effect now did it ? I do hope you feel proud off your endeavours …. I personally cant understand the need to be destructive in regards to anything in life and feel it is even more dislikeable behaviour when in concerns other people privacy. To those who didn't enjoy the night …I am sorry you feel that way … Put as with any get-together not all will feel it meets there expatiations or anticipations as we are all different and therefore we all have different like in regards to music , people , places as with many other things in life , it is not the differences that have been objected to here it is however the manner in which those differences were conveyed … Its easier in life to just move on and takes up less time and energy which leaves more time for fun … We are all here for friendships , to fore fill our sexual desires and the social events are a big part off swing world , We are all meant to be adults in regards to our behaviours , mannerism and personal conduct both on and off site at the end off the day we only answer to one person .. I have had my say and I am moving on …I am going to concentrate on the more important things in swing life …. ......................WHENS THE NEXT MEET ........................
well all i have to say is as it was my first meet and greet i dont tink it would of been possible to enjoy myself more. i had a ball of a time,met some fantastic people laughed all night and with a few drinks in great company and all this was down to a few people who have the get up and go to organise something like this and i know its prob hard at times but dont pay any attention to the few idiots that try and ruin it for others. thanks again guys and ill second beddy roll on the next one :-)
We had a fantastic time and a big thank you to Ger and the other organisers. Got to meet loads of people we know from the chat rooms and catch up with loads of people we had met on previous meet and greets. Didn't get to meet everybody we had hoped to meet but that is the way things go and will just have to say hi at the next one . Anybody who felt the need to complain must have looked hard for problems as from where we were it was a great nite,, good music, good company and lots of laughs. Roll on the next time and thanks again for a job well done. Kerrycouple xx
Well I couldnt make this one Ger :sad: but all I have heard is fantastic things about the night!! There are always people who want to ruin things for others..karma and all that.. I think sometimes people forget this is all meant to be fun!!...its really hard to organise a big meet & greet so well done you!! Roll on next one I'll be there with bells on :drinkies:

To warp a famous quote: you can keep some of the people happy all of the time, and all of the people happy some of the time, but you can not keep all of the people happy all of the time……
Fair play to anyone taking on the logistics of organising a party in any circumstances (wedding/bar mitzvah/M&G) I think that should be a focus of appreciation. :cheers:
Roll on the next one!

To those who cause trouble, bare this in mind.
What goes around comes around.
Hi Ger. Sorry to hear about the problems with the M&G. Unfortunatly I had to work later than I expected and by the time I got home it was far too late. From what I can see in the postings it was a fantastic night, so congrats to yourself, bedtime suzie and everyone else who helped, attended etc., and raised the money for such a worthy cause. I'm just sorry I wasnt able to be a part of it. Picksman

hi ger mary bedtime and all that came last weekend i had a ball of a time meet some new friends and some old friends .
i would thank LOONEYTUNES for the great music they did i was danceing most of the nite and the money raised went to a good cause , for them that did not enjoy it well i dont know what they want but it is hard to please everybody.
I would like the people that did not reply to invites they should as it would let other people come that could not because they had no invite.
I cant wait for the next one and hope to make more new friends ger you please take a bow as you worked hard at doing the mails and doing the hotel
