But we live 1600km away.... I hear it is s common problem when upfront $ isn't involved to help weed out the curious but non-committal. Maybe a mandatory phone call... Hope you still enjoyed your night.

we have organised Meet n Greets . . . and parties, spoken to ppl we "know" by phone confirming attendance....often no shows, so now we expect that when organising anything.... we allow for approx 75% failure.... or does that say something about us! dont dwell on it . . .

I had one at the art gallery the other week, but the good side is that a few did show. And we had a great day. I think after a while as word of mounth gets around, then slowly slowly more people will come. Each time I have a coffee with the girls day, then one or two new ladies may come along. Just focus on the show up people, the others will eventually want to come as they hear, your event was a lot of fun. So after that gallery event, I will do some more social type meets , like bbq If you meet enough people in social meets, then they will feel they can then turn up to your sexy swing meets. Now what the hell to do with all this left over wine! always next time :)

it's not the event, it is just a fact that when something doesn't incur a finanancial committment then people won't value it. If people have to pre-pay then they will turn up.x R

Its not just confined to this site.Seems to be a developing trend in society. Given that nearly everyone has a phone, no excuse not to call.

Some people in this lifestyle just don't have any respect for the efforts others put into organising meet n greets..Maybe it proves there are sooo many fakes out there. Such a pitty we're sooo far away, would of been there for sure. Come to Brizzy for a holiday guys.

'No shows' have never been a problem for us. Total of three couples, in 10+ events, haven't turned up, and one single girl.But, we have a good network of people that encourage others to come along. We've worked hard to get that rep.The problem we've faced, is simply lack of replies from people. They register, we send our 'welcome!' message, and never hear from them again. We say it's a problem, but we dont struggle to fill the spots. Pain in the butt not getting replies though... if you dont want to come, just say so.

Generally we do not send out our phone numbers either. We ask our potential guests for their number, so that we can send out the address and time of the event. When we do get a reply with their number we know they are serious and will attend. The key however is to get a good rep, and a good bunch of people that attend regularly.

Common courtesy isn't that common Quite like Common sense isn't that common Regardless it is rude Sorry you went to such trouble As suggested, maybe if people have to pay (a non refundable deposit upfront) then they may be more committed to make the event I don't even like being 5 minutes late let alone cancelling on people, and if I was to if would be for a honest legitimate reason

Greet and meets/The events are a great way of meeting a big selection of couples all at once. The people who say they are going to attend but dont, are missing out! You will always get no-showers though, dont take it personally. Like the others said its easier to build up a rep and then you will get more interest in events you host
