    glow in the dark bracelet? Yeah, we have heaps of those from the doof doof clubs we attend, as would the majority of the 'elders' heading down there.We'll just rock up and see if we recognise anyone I think...Will be getting there closer to 9ish, but will be there.

    good reminder sweetfrangapaniBut also remember, there are TWO sections to that carpark, and they arent clearly marked. Buy a ticket from the wrong machine, and you'll cop a fine like we did last time.

    Thank you Sweet hun for organising such an awesome night. It was great to meet you and sweetfrangipani and some others I had not met before but have chatted to. It was good to catch up with others I have met but not seen for awhile. I had an absolute ball. Hillz

    Totally agree Hillz - what a wonderful night (and a great turn out by fellow rhpers). Met lots of old faces and some great new ones too. Many thanks Sweet and all. Pusscat and Woody xxx

    No one wore braclets as requested, so not like we are going tochat up someone we dont know is an RHPer...Did meet some new folk, but only by chance as they looked lost as wellObviously folk weren't interested in meeting new peopleas there was an established group who knew each otherand since we didn't know who was who...We left early etc...

    All you have to do HumanBio, is ask a couple if they are there for the "meet and greet". Or, "are you guys in the RHP party?" "What's RHP?" "Oh, sorry, must have the wrong crowd..."Thats it. EASY.If you couldnt pick the 'swingers' out, well, what can I say. I thought they stood out from a mile away. They were the crowd having way too much fun. The crowd that didnt really match the rest of the Windsor patrons (Windsor attracts 25-35yo try hards... walk through once and you'll see what I mean... printed Elwood/Londsdale/Mossimo/Zanerobe/ZooYork/BenSherman t-shirt two sizes too small, stupid gel'd spikey haircut, and a group of guys all pretending to be cooler than the next and best buddies while they beat their chests, until some bimbo walks past and then they disperse and pretend not to know each other because they are wearing the same shirts, while they try out the latest 'line' they came up with in the same taxi they all shared there, and will all share on the way home whilst they boast about their potential 'score' with that silly bimbo, who just happened to have the same phone number (rejection line) as the other bimbos who they sleazed onto.... but, lets not get into that! I digress!!). We'd never met anyone there before, took us three minutes to pick them out and another five minutes to suss out who was who.... 2onaharley, gravnleelee, sweetfragipani, britchick, etc etc. Some of the people were very distinctive and if you'd viewed some profiles, you probably would have spotted them easily. We did, and they certainly arent even in our "required age group", nor people we have contacted before.If you really cant pick anyone, hell, why ruin the night by going home early. Have a couple drinks, and relax. People watch. Have some laughs!Expecting people to have glow in the dark bracelets was a bit ambitious. Who even knows where to get one? A techno rave? $2 buck shop?? Coles?!?!?! NO IDEA!!! But, having no face shots, how would you expect others to recognise YOU?You only get out of these events, what you put in. Im not having a go, just saying...

    Humanbio there were def new people there chatting away to anyone and everyone.I had not been there long..spotted Mr n Mrs Peachy.Then a few mins later a lady approached us and asked if we were from the site...We welcomed her..she had not long been on RHP and come on her own..she had a lovley night chatting to others...Heck even the straight guys were chatting to each other!..lol. Even for me....I was nervous..I just got in there..Many did approach me that I did not know...I approached them!.. As rockercouple said ....You get what you put in..I would have been quite happy to introduce you to other cples....Only have to ask me. I too peeked at many profiles before the event..Cramming my lil head with their usenames....Many that I did chat with on the night..I did remember them cause I looked at their profiles. I even had a friend come that night I had never met him..but had have been chatting to him for over a yr! And just as mates....Didnt reconise him at first..told me who his was..I ended up with tears in my eyes..He had come to the night alone...Just to surprise me..and meet others. And for me..yeh...Was pretty easy to pick out who would be from RHP. Hope you give another event a try..Best way to meet others..make some new friends..I felt I certainly did!. So next time..Walk up to others..ask...And smile smile smile!... Hillz! Glad you had a great night!...Great to see you there! Always my love to you Gravnleeleexxxxxxxx Do have to add..Cant miss rockercouple.....HOT! and have to say they were a cpl I was excited to meet and spent time drooling over them..lolz...Awesome fun loving cpl! huggies sweetpetite41xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Well... really didn't want to say much, but with our work we are time challengedand we kinda hoped the regulars would have been more accomodating of newbies (well we aren't newbies to swinging..just meet N greets)Perhaps we might try another event??? Maybe?BUT.. in fairness, we did what was asked re the braclets (actually went out brought the damm things)and... now we were suposed to walk up to people and ask??? (Maybe some can do this, we couldnt..)Can we ask why others didn't do the same and come up and ask if we rhpers or there for the meet N greetIs it all up to us to introduce ourselves?Ummmmmm sweetpetite?? how are we suppose to ask you to introduce us ifwe have never seen your face etc?? We are guessing who is who from the moment we got there.RockerCouple... just saying not having a go(wink)> apparently you got heaps of the braclets??/ Quote:"glow in the dark bracelet? Yeah, we have heaps of those from the doof doof clubs we attend, as would the majority of the 'elders' heading down there."Anyway not here to start a rolling thread of complaints... just would have been nice to have somehelp & friendliness in a new situation.CheersP&CPS: P is nearly partially deaf which doesn't help in noisy places

    Sweety organised this but apart from that, nobody else would have been more in the know than anyone else and it is likely that a lot of other people felt the same as you did. It really is up to you to introduce yourselves or start a conversation and it doesn't really matter about bracelets or lack thereof. If you walk up to the wrong people and ask if they are from RHP, does it really matter??

    Ummm yeh... for some people its not that easy, maybe in a non swing situation, but this wasn't a normal meet.For us .. yes it does matter, we went along to the meet so we wouldn't have to deal with embarrassment of asking the wrong questions??? Or feeling lost because we didn't know anyone, at least if they had something identifying them, we might have approached them and taken risk to start up a conversation..And if no-one else was in the know.. even more reason to do something to help new folk Even red ribbons or anything... Anyway.. as we said, not going to debate it at lengthIf someone says bring braclets?? then do it or don't botherIts either one way or the other.... least so that everyonehas then same knowledge...

    HumanBio, my comment about the Bracelets was a sarcastic comment. Hence the 'elders' bit. We are most certainly not the type of couple to attend the doof doof rave parties where glow in the dark bracelets are handed out nightly... hell, our username certainly makes that clear Im sure, if not, our profile definately does.Regardless. We had a good night. We only wish that you would have also. We hear you about time constraints... no couple works harder and has less free time than us!We jumped on the chat room for ten minutes whilst getting ready, purely to find out if some others that would be attending where also on. If you cant recognise sweetpetite because she doesnt have a face shot, why not message her for a mobile number?You only get out, what you put in. Hopefully next time you arent so shy. But, ten points for finding a bracelet!! No idea where the hell to even buy one of those...PS. there was a couple sitting on the couch near the fake fireplace. We were standing near the wooden pilon. Mrs. had blonde hair. Im sure they were sussing everyone out, especially us . Was that anyone here?? And who was the blonde with the white/grey/maybe biege jacket who locked eyes with me as I walked past, and all the guys she was with made a big deal about it?? Sorry, I should have come and said hello, but we were already deep in conversation with a couple we'd been dying to meet for a while.

    Oh.. ok sarcasm... now I got ya (LOL)Mmmmm.. with three teenagers in the housewe are up in all the kids stuff (including some of the music)RED DOT is a great source for all that glow in dark stuff andcheap Masquerad masks etc For us just "turning up" was a huge personal/emotional input, so we guess if that wasn't enough, its not going to improve.As for shyness, if you knew me (Mr HumanBio) I am definately not shyBut considering the nature of the event I am careful.If I could have clearly identified who was RHP and who wasn'tI would have chatted to everyone in the room within 10 minutes (wink)All we can hope for is that all this advice is considered and thosescout out the new faces next time?? Especially if they look lost?? (LOL)Mrs HumanBio... said will go to next one (2nd try?)

    I came across glow in the dark' bracelets at Coles n thought of buying some to pass out but didn't even end up buying any for ourselves lol... We realised there was a fair chance a lot of the RHPers that signed up for the event might not know to wear the bracelets, and more importantly, to meet in the Mends St bar because they don't read the forums so we figured we'd keep an eye out for confused looking people and suss it out from there which we found worked just fine! NOTE: Glow in the dark items have a limited life span of a few hours/days max {tip - freezing will extend the life but I can't imagine most going to that sort of effort LOL}.We were one of the first to arrive at the Mends St bar where we ran into Sweet within moments lol. A complete surprise to her considering we had messaged her to say we wouldn't be attending, a last minute change of mind however had us hiring a room within walking distance for the night.Dunno about cliquey groups, this was the first time we'd attended a RHP do and aside from a couple of people we'd met in the past including Sweetpetite herself in the last couple of weeks, we didn't know anyone around us. Made up for that in no time though, making it my mission to memorise names AND profile names AFTER working out they were indeed RHPers! Like rockercouple we also saw and spoke to lots of people whose faces we recognised from profile picsWe can't thank Sweetpetite enough for setting up a meet n greet for her very first time! Hugs Mrs n Mr PpWeR

    ok...I will explain to you why I was not wearing my braclet......As a mum...getting myelf and my child organised and the dog.I accidently left the braclets at home on the kitchen counter...I have even bought extra to give to others if needed....Driving us up to Perth..first to drop my child of to the sitter in Perth.make sure that is all good..then drive into Perth check into hotel get myself ready...Try to talk on the phone while getting ready with Windsor Hotel manager as she called me to check numbers again and go over rules there..And for me to make sure all were dressed right and behave..I spent time to reassure her. By that time it was 6:30pm! My friend is in the lobby waiting..dash in a taxi to Windsor...Now I am far from perfect!...Had a lot on my mind that day..And I did forget the braclets! You would have only had to ask me to introduce you to couples I know! I only knew a few people there personally. then a few from the chatroom..The rest I did not know and was my first time to meet them too!. Just got to try! I do! We all do! sighhhhhh sweetpetite41xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Sweetpetitie??How are we going to ask you to introduce us to peoplewhen we don't what you look like (ie: face pics??)Unfortunately we don't use the chatroom and apart from the peoplewe have met (played etc) we didn't recognize anyone.Its fine, we do understand all things don't always go to plan...as I run a motorbike/scooter club and that's a planning nightmare every meetAnyway its in the past and old hat, so next time.. perhaps we could all come naked or wear masks like in Eyes wide Shut (think thats the movie name?)Maybe a proper Masquerad Ball, with a twist (masks only - LOL)I am happy to help with organising these type of activities, just email me ifyou want help...CheersP&C (HumanBio)

    please, pet, love, please....LETS NOT DO THE MASQUERADE BALL MASKS.We dont want any nasty surprises after we've whisked a couple away for play...Someone really needs to finalise and make a "swingers" badge or brooch, for us to all wear whilst out and about. RHP, or otherwise, would be great to run into another couple on a normal night out.

    Errrmmm..I would not be in on orgainising a meet n greet drinks night with masks and possiblly naked! Defeats the meaning of a social drinks night. Masked parties are best left for the swing parties. Social nights are just that.. If you meet some people that you get along with ..Well what you do after that is those parties involved.be it go back to a hotel or just get their number and meet up for a nice time at another date. Rockercouple..I just put in an idea on meet n greet part 3...have a look. Please all pop in ideas.. Huggies sweetpetite41xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
