PLEASE show some RESPECT to the organizers of this social. Open up another thread and dicuss your issues with the person/s which you have these issues with. I have organized a couple of socials in the past and I can promise you that it is really stressful in organize such events and one really don't need this negative comments/derailing/stirring that some are making on a thread like this one.
Let's keep this thread positive !!!

I have not attended the last few socials due to very dire personal family reasons that have me very pre occupied at the moment. I can say that as one of the original organisers that created these socials. The socials were not created for anyone to make money at a social, they started off as a networking opportunity to attract and create future business. To let our hair down, have fun and enjoy getting to meet like minded people in this purple world. We also added charity to the socials. Collecting Easter eggs, paying a punter' s rent that had been retrenched. Collecting school supplies etc. It was about showing the world that even though the sp's are frowned upon in normal society, that we are probably more giving because of the hardships we have endured.
It is very time consuming and it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to put every thing into place. Catering, costing, being prepared for a certain amount of guests. It is mostly unappreciated because no one knows how much effort goes into the planning. But it is so worth it!
I encourage all of you to join the social. Newbies, us oldies, and let's do a little good for those less fortunate.
If you are nervous and unsure, or feeling overwhelmed, send me a whats app or PM. I will gladly meet you personally at the door, escort and introduce you to our Purple family.
Nic, please add me to the guest list. I will make the time to pop in and support this worthy cause.
Love
Arz
