I'm up for meeting up.  Personally, as a non-drinker, I'd rather have a meal and optional drinks.  No point having a good time if you can't remember any of it  ;D

Gosh, a tea-totaller!  How can you live without alcohol?  Wasn't it Socratese who said, 'Life without the lager, is a wasted life', (or was that a quote by Jimmy Nail and Socratese said an 'unexamined life is a wasted life'?).

Who cares; I'm in if it's within a reasonable travel distance!

A customer of mine once said "A clean and tidy home is a sign of a wasted life"  :)  .  She still paid me to clean her windows though.

Gaza,

I think that's a bit unfair to Mike.  But why don't you host it?  Get some numbers (as in how many will definately attend), ask for a deposit in advance.

Book a venue.
Organise some budget accommodation.
Book some entertainment.
Book a buffett.
Book St John's Ambulance.

It's not that difficult, with a bit of thought; as long as you don't have any time-wasters!

Gazza,

Some folks don't read old threads that go into a couple of pages (etc), therefore I suggest you start a new thread titled something like'Unofficial Clean it Up Members and Anyone Else for a window cleaning 'knees-up''.

Try another forum too, and the new one as well.  Get some numbers.

And go from there.  Get enough replies; get a deposit to show they're serious about going (£10 to £20) and plan from there.

Obviously if you only get paid 10 deposits that's going to change your plans from the hundred or so members that say, 'Yes, please'.

Why not just ask for a cheque and don't cash them till you have the minimum number of deposits.

The problem with this sort of thing is that people say 'yes', then when the day comes closer they change their minds.  As if it's too much trouble.

Oh, don't forget about the boring stuff too, like insurance.  It shouldn't cost much, but if someone gets hurt at 'your' function they may possible sue.  When arranging official functions in the army, we always had to get insurance.

You may also might like to write to the big and smaller window cleaning companies, when your numbers are finalised, and ask them if they'd donate 'gizits'; anything shiny would do.  Or how about donating cash to off-set the cost for a bit of advertising on their behalf?
