Pre-Holiday Furry Dinner/Bowling Meet!

Nov 27, 2009 23:22

Hello Everyone! This is an urgent post for all those near Eastern PA and New Jersey!

I, along with kookyfox , want to host a Pre-Holiday Meet on Saturday, December 12th which will include Dinner and Fursuit Bowling! I know this may be short notice for some of you, but we thought it would be a great idea to get together before the Christmas/Hanukkah ( Read more... )

From my own experience running the Delaware Bowling meets, I've found that buffets work fantastically for events like this. Buffet's are usually the best equipped, with a party/banquet room and a cashier for people to pay at rather than checks to deal with.

Hope this works out! If I could attend I most definitely would but unfortunately I'm tied up with my own DE furry holiday events. :3

Wow! Thank you very much! That is very helpful, I'll definitely be looking up buffets now. I wonder if there is an Old Country Buffet somewhere. Any others you'd recommend? Good luck with your events!

I'm trying to get down there for a bowling meet but I need the right weekend to come along for time. A January weekend looks great right now :P Thanks again, mate!

I've never had a bad experience with a Chinese buffet place. They're usually everywhere, a decent price, and who doesn't like Chinese? From my experience Old Country Buffets are usually too crowded, but it can definitely vary ( ... )

No that's fine! Thank you. I'm already set to call the bowling alley I go to, they know me very well and I already know the perfect lanes to reserve (which happen to be on the end). They have 40 lanes and aren't usually full, but it looks like we might be going to New Brunswick, in which case I'm calling Tony about where they usually go.

I'm really excited to get this going, and I was glad we thought of it with plenty of time left. The only thing you told me that I didn't know was about your notes. My plan is to make it less of a formal meet and more of a giant get together, with Kooky and I taking care of the necessary preliminaries. Can you explain a little further. Are you taking notes on feedback?

I'm the kind of person that needs to write everything down to keep track of stuff. And I try to get my meets to be as optimally timed as I can and to have as little downtime as possible. It's different from person to person though, so if you can keep it all in your head, then go for it.But I find meets that have a good sense of organization to them better ( ... )

Ah got it! Yes that is a good system you have there. Thank you very much for all your help. My only question left for now is in regards of the dinner time. I'm planning for a 4pm dinner, and in your experience how long do you let dinner last before going to the bowling alley since an hour of uncertainty for arrival may be bad for them? Thank you again for this!

I usually go for about an hour in a half. It's long enough for folks to get their fill, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Another quick tip. Plan for 20% more people coming than they say are coming. If they don't show up just scale it back, but if that 20% does come, you'll be glad you have the extra seats.

Also, my bowling alley needs me to fill out a legal waiver for my suiters to release the bowling alley of any responsibility should a mask or headpiece cause a mishap. Check with your bowling alley in case you need anything like this as well.
