NZHS: Annual forum MEGA-MEET!

[Dougie]

I think this is a great idea. However, it will require a lot of planning and kicking people up the bum..

I recently attended a 25th Jubilee cadets thing. We had some cool stuff in store (Past vs Present serving members, shooting, confidence course, 5 course formal dinner, pre drinks registration night, brunch catch up etc). We paid up about four months in advanced I think, there were 40 people who paid from each side. Even after a deposit and all the lead up, only a dozen or so of us went?!

I'd suggest some cool stuff to entice people (not just the fun factor of meeting everyone) just like Jase has suggested. Then perhaps a big meal somewhere that is pre-booked, pre-paid. Ask for some money up front. If you choke last minute, tough titties.

Sounds ruthless but I am trying to be realistic. Many of the big great idea get togethers end up with drastically less numbers than imagined.

Absolutely. I'm more or less testing the waters at this stage but it seems as if there's some interest. In order to proceed we'd need to confirm the following:

* Location

* Date

* Activities

As Jase's suggested, might see what the admins think first? @Spanners @Tussock
