Hi Nic and peterb.Regarding the social how about this for an idea? Have the social in different provinces except just Gauteng. I'm from Durban and personally would really enjoy to attend a social but with travelling costs and accommodation being the way it is now there's no way I can afford it. Just yesterday to top up my tank to full again and my car being diesel was R 860.00 so to do a quick calculation on cost for even coming up over that period will be close to R5k including the social fee which frankly is ridiculous.
The man who started a famous Gentleman's club (may his soul rest in peace) had a brilliant idea at the beginning by rotating his dancers to the different provinces every 3/4 months therefore advertising and marketing an amazing brand. If this social was here in Durban our day time temperature is 22 - 25 degrees during winter now who would want to feel warm in more than one way.
PS: Please ESA Admin don't ban me on this reply as it's solely my opinion and 2c worth, I don't gain anything out of it but I think it could be a win - win situation maybe?
Buddy nothing stops you from arranging a Social in KZN. Take it on yourself and Do It.
Nobody said Socials Must be in Gauteng.
Get a venue arranging the catering arranging the entertainment, get the punters and girls to pay their entrance fees, all this with the blessing of ESA themselves and off you go.
As far as the entrance fee is concerned, it was always R250 for gents and ladies don't pay. At Pablos we served food from 1.30pm till around 6pm non stop for R125 per head....think again bud about ridiculous.
This time it is R350 per gent and R100 per lady as R100 per person goes to charity.
Good luck.

The social is not there to make money if u feel thats your purpose so be it however nic I will not be available but il will contribute to the reason as to why the social was going to be held in the first place.
Of course that's one of the reasons they are held. It's a big waste of time for anyone who usually makes good money most days.

Hmmm I'm never around jhb when it comes to socials. For once I will be around, I'll check the forum tomorrow to see what's happening.
Kim Foxx the social has not been called off but up to now the response has been lethargic to say the least. And it's difficult to arrange anything without numbers.
We will see by end of Monday and let the Purple World know the way forward......but party we gonna party

Four months ago everybody was hyper excited about this event but things have changed dramatically since then. We are merely the venue that is arranging the event that the Purple community have asked for. And there are still some folks out there that are super excited to have a Social and for that reason we are asking if you still want this to go ahead. Just remember that we, as Pablos, arranging many of our own epic parties.
So all I can say is....party we going to party.
Regards
Nic@Pablos

It's who you know hun...
I guarantee you I'll make more money at the social for the day than you would at home :)
Let's make a bet... If you loose, you must come with me to the next one?
You can decide on my fate hehe

Hope you guys are still able to go ahead and have a kick ass blast.
[email protected]. jammer skattie. I'll join you for tequila another time
Another contributing factor I think is that we are all still returning... or at least trying to return to pre-covid days, being mostly in the social interaction aspect. I still have a slight hesitation at the thought of large crowds in closed spaces
Unfortunately the risk of the social being cancelled is there, but let it not be a reflection on the Venue and what they offer. ( and no, I've never been to this venue before )
Things have changed, some good... some bad.
