Please PM me for details is your interested. November Are you allowed to have alcohol there? I was under the impression you couldn't. Regarding gift exchange, sorry to sound negative, but how would this work. You would have to have a 100 percent commitment from all the people coming. No shows and last minute turn-ups are bound to happen. I can't see how it's doable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theliquor (Lost but not fo 50595 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Another option for hosting the XXXMas Social would be Breathless above Penis Envy. I am sure that Miss Jenn would be open to renting the space for a nominal charge, safe and secure and would address Annessa's concerns as well. Lots of parking. Would be definitely cheaper than a hotel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No shows and last minute turn-ups are bound to happen. I can't see how it's doable. We could play the GREED game!!! It's a lot of fun, and it's totally doable, because if you bring a gift, you can play. Quick concept of the game - everyone with a gift, place them wrapped on the table, then everyone draws a number. First number opens a gift. Second number can either open a new gift, or take the first person's. If your gift is taken from you, you can either open a new one, or take someone elses. It's SO much fun. You put a cap on how much everyone can spend, and make sure to buy something unisex. Something tells me, there would be a lot of alcohol and sex toys in those wrapped gifts at this party, hahahahaha!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TGirl-Kay 7484 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Hi again, If we run an event at Breathless as a private party and we would have to do that in this case, we can bring alcohol for personal use. Smoky smoker would have to smoke out side, but that is the rule just about every where these days. If you have questions best to PM me, November Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second number can either open a new gift, or take the first person's. If your gift is taken from you, you can either open a new one, or take someone elses. It's SO much fun. I haven't been keeping up with this thread and just reading it now, was going to suggest the GREED game, played this a few years back and had a lot of fun with it. Plus as you mentioned Cleo, only the people who show up with a gift can play, which will prevent any issues of no-shows... Could be a good enticement for people to come too! For dates, I am hoping that it is a Monday to Thursday night anytime not the week of the 12th-18th, I'll be on a sunny beach! Perhaps the last week of November would work? And I love the idea of doing it at Breathless, nice and central... Perhaps we could figure out how much it costs and sell tickets ahead of time?

I think last week of November or first week of December would be good, later than that, many people have family/work/vacations and turnout likely won't be as good. Plus if it's from the 6-14th I won't be there as I'll be out of the country! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sentimental 281 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Cleo: a good suggestion..... Minto Place is centrally located !! Additional Comments: Cleo: you have such a fantastcally fertile imagination !! The Game of Greed is fantastic... fits in well with human nature Additional Comments: Your recommendation looks great. Let's have our CERB members indicate their interest in this location by responding within the next 10 days. If a majority agree, we should collect a $20 or $30 from the male CERB memebers only. Then we should confirm the rental. How does that sound ? Also, we should place a notice on a CERB site that would get maximum exposure. Any suggestions ?

Regarding gift exchange, sorry to sound negative, but how would this work. You would have to have a 100 percent commitment from all the people coming. No shows and last minute turn-ups are bound to happen. I can't see how it's doable. You just bring a gift, unisex, have the gift exchange at an exact time, whoevers there is there. All the gifts are wrapped and put up on a table and everyone chooses a number. That's the order that you go up to get a gift, the first person gets first dibs, but the second person can either take that one, or a new one... Chinese gift exchange. That's how it's doable.

I don't even think i'm going to be able to make it now... i'm going home for two weeks... so if it's not at the beginning I can't go... It'll have to be the first week if I'm going to plan it...

We're suggesting last week of November, or first week of December, so I think we're all on the same page :) Second week I'm gone, third week you and Bethany are gone, and what kind of party would it be without us? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick_falcon 911 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 I agree with what was said above: first week of December would be good. If it's too late in December, it's hard to get a place plus people have a million things to do and running around to get ready for the Holidays. However, doing it a weeknight would make a place easier to get as office parties are usually on Friday or Saturday evening. But weekday, many have to work the next day so, it won't finish in the wee hours of the morning for many. But great planning so far, it's getting together.

wendigo 687 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 In reply to vulcan's post, I'm good for either $20 or $30 in advance to help pay for the rental. I haven't met too many people here, but I'll trust Old Dog, rickofshadows or jazzitup or anybody they trust with the cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 Any updates on what's going on with the Xmas social? Who's in charge? Has a date been set for this yet. I need to start planning around work and the Christmas holidays. The first week of December sounds good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest S**a*Q Report post Posted November 6, 2010 I kinda nominated myself, but then left Ottawa.. LOL! Management can be done from a distance!!! I have someone looking into Breathless to find out the dates and what not... It's central and discreet so I think that would be our best option... We've decided to do a gift exchange... Or the donation to a charity... I'll post a poll about that... Wait, why don't we do both...? I'll poll it... Keeping everyone inthe loop, I shall get better at!

Winnipegcub 21293 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 Not being Ott based I have often felt I was missing out on your socials and the chance to meet fellow Cerbites. Might be this time I will be there on the night this takes place. But then that would interfere with what I often do during my evenings in Ott. Hmm...maybe I could come with a gift and leave with a present. Hehe Keep up the amazing work Sara and I know you'll have a great event. WC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
