Mission Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Right, time to get something underway for this and I thought I would start out with a poll to gauge interest in the idea and to get a rough idea of numbers for the venue we choose. The forum will reach the rather impressive milestone of its 10th anniversary on March 24th 2014 and I bet when Unisol and Tearz set it up all those years ago they never imagined it would get this far but it has and so I (and others) feel that it is only right that we celebrate it with a party. The previous events were a success in the format we chose for them but it did put some people off from attending so for this one we'll be moving away from a full on DJ experience and going for something a bit more chilled out - not 100% sure what yet as myself and thebees (and maybe Roxanne if we can coax her into it ) will be speaking to various people / venues over the coming weeks. For now, all I can say for definite is that it will be in Douglas, most likely a bar of some description (certainly licenced as that makes the night go a lot easier ) and it will be on Saturday 22nd March 2014 so mark the date if you would like to attend. Further details to follow as and when (I'll start a thread in the new year). UPDATE 11/02/14: - details of the night... Date - Saturday 22nd March 2014 Venue - The Railway, Banks Circus, Douglas Time - 8pm - late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Will it be fancy dress, as has been suggested in other threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hmm, I'll add a poll option for that. I'm not a fan myself as it's hard to get costumes in my size but it might be fun for others to dress up. I'll just wear my Mission T-Shirt again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hmmm...I voted already now, so can't vote on additional? I like the idea of fancy dress, might make things entertaining, but likely put a lot of people off if they forget or can't/can't be arsed with all that. Maybe fancy dress optional?

Lonan3 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Mister Jefferson will probably turn up dressed as a turd - and claim to be the captain's log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 So how do these things work? Is it a great 'coming out' party where people wear badges with their forum ID on it, or do people still try and maintain some anonymity? If I'm around that weekend, which I probably will be, I'll come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'm a newbie, but I would like to come, and will have more of an idea about whether I can make it about a month before. How late can one get a ticket to attend? @Wrighty - not all of us are anons, but I expect to see a lot of Guy Fawkes masks even if the event isn't in fancy dress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'll be there, except for tempest, plague or pestilence. I won't be wearing fancy dress as I have the old bag look off to a tee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm around that weekend, which I probably will be, I'll come along. I'd imagine balaclavas would be a necessity, with darth vaderesque voice changers being optional though recommended.

Mission Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 The way it generally works is those that wish to remain anonymous make their excuses not to attend. It's a very friendly affair as a rule and probably 99% of the people you'll meet there will be very pleasant indeed. No need for tickets etc, just turn up on the night. @Butters - do you mean you want to attend, or are you offering to play some music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
