  RHP needs to give members the option to unregister for events. But I do agree. Some members register for multiple events on the same night, that is wrong. Or give the hosts the option to edit the registered list. That would make life so much easier. - Posted from rhpmobile

  If you hold a venue for our age group ( over 50 and we seem to dinosaurs) and we are free. We will be there. J&I - Posted from rhpmobile

  Registered for an event on the weekend. I clicked because I was looking for more information and then suddenly I was registered. Agree needs to be an unregister button because I couldn't undo it.

  Its bloody annoying to have registrations who then don't bother to contact you in anyway to confirm or cancel. I think some get get a rush to the head 😎 and register for everything so they dont miss out...then forget about it. An ability to cancel a registration..by the event organiser or the person who wanted to attend would be awesome...hint hint RHP. One way for organisers to establish the event numbers it is to message everyone who has registered 1 or 2 weeks before the event and ask them to confirm if they are coming. Add in a line that failure to attend or let you know of a late cancellation may mean they will not be invited again. Its your party so you can set whatever rules you want 👍

  We have run a few events over the past couple of years. And have dropped back to smaller events as they are far easier to manage, along with meeting and mingle with everyone. Ensuring the night is a success. With our events we have had to take an approach of asking people the following question. 1. Could we please see what they look like by opening your gallery or emailing us or using kik. We understand for some people it might be a bit forward, however we have had to adopt this approach to try and weed out the fakes, time wasters and also ensure the right mix of people as our events are small and intimate. We thank them for understanding and its appreciated. We know its no guarantee of people turning up but it does show some sort of commitment. At the end, its meant to be fun exciting and great way to meet people.

  We come across this problem every time we host an event. It is for this exact reason our events are prepaid as soooo many people register and don’t commit. Then don’t respond to your messages. Then wait to see what the guest list looks like on the last week and eagerly gets in contact or attempts to pay. Organisers can cancel registrations btw. Just click on my events then go to the guest list and unclick their name from the list. We have started compiling a list of serial timewasters and no longer send them invitations even if they did want to attend. A simple response to the vast majority of msgs we send is all it takes. We actually got told off for repeatedly messaging a couple who registered for our last party because they were getting annoying. A simple sorry we can’t make it to the first message would have saved us both a lot of time. I don’t think people understand the logistics that go into hosting parties. We like to invite a specific number of males to females but can’t rely on the single female numbers unless they are prepaid. Is what it is. We have quite a few on the blacklist and no longer bother even replying to their expressions of interest and usually take them off our registration list asap.

  is the hardest part which is why there are hundreds of books on the problem. If you cannot get the buyer to put something on the line then they're not committed. Ideally, given you've incurred costs, a deposit would be best. Research the Web for topics like charity fund-raising events to get ideas Discounts for regular attendees? Networking like crazy, Sponsors, Door prizes? and a couple of TV presenters in attendance 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

At a guess (as with most parties) you don't charge single females, correct me if I'm wrong though? An idea for that might be have them prepay but full money back when they arrive :-)

  Hi Dallas. My understanding is that is men that register for everything and don’t show. Am I right?

  Why register just because what???? To look like you have a social life??? Really people!! It's like the person that has 456 'crackbook' (fb) friends.... Really??that just shows that your desperate to look popular... The people/organisations who run parties I take my hat of to you.... I too would have a time wasters list. - Posted from rhpmobile

  Dallas we do charge single females entry as its the only way to confirm your party wont just turn out to be a sausagefest as in our experience single females are just as likely if not more so to be a no show on the day if they haven’t already paid. Luckily we usually have no trouble in getting the required number of guests to attend our parties and would like to thank them all for making the effort.

  Yup and problem for me. Accidentally registered for an even in a completely different state to me but couldn't unregister. I did reply to their message saying it was a mistake though. The side effect was that our profile received a lot more views from interstate during that time than ever. Maybe we should consider moving as they were all really hot too! ;P Recently accidentally registered for two events happening on the same day but we still haven't decided which we were going to yet.... Doh.. Probably too much to ask but if there was a 'interested' & 'attending' options would be handy. Perhaps people think 'register your interest' has the same meaning as it is on FB events? 'Interested' isn't necessarily a commitment and some people may use it to remind themselves about the event. - Posted from rhpmobile
