Jazzitup 5652 Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Thur. Apr. 18 - Social Event - 4:30 pm (maybe) to 10:00 pm (maybe) - in Downtown Ottawa. Enjoy some beverages, food (if you wish) and conversation with like-minded individuals in a relaxed pub setting. This is sponsored by the Poly Social Group. But based on past practice, by no means limited to Poly Group members or participants. The only expenses are the ones that you acquire by the food and drinks you order. This is a good way for males and female members of CERB with one-on-one (or broader) interests to meet face-to-face in a relaxed setting, contemplate the possibilities and have some fun, shoot the breeze, whatever. A good time is usually had by all. PM me or if you're interested. Please indicate the approximate time that you will arrive. Participants will be informed about the location a day or two beforehand and it is expected that this information will not be shared. The guys will be treating the ladies since I don't think the strength of our personalities is enough of a draw for them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzitup 5652 Report post Posted April 10, 2013 More information for those that may not have been to one of these. The social events look pretty much like a bunch of people who work in the same office going out for lunch or for a drink after work. Everyone pretty much stays with casual business dress. Though, as you can expect, even within that constraint, the women all look very good. Well-dressed professional women who know how to appear in public. There are no name tags. The conversation is wide-ranging and goes well beyond hobby issues. The tone is low-key and discrete. Individuals can provide as much or a little personal information as they like. People usually introduce themselves via CERB "handles" at some point, but don't make a big deal of it. It really is that simple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzitup 5652 Report post Posted April 14, 2013 There is no expectation of other activity. It is a social event. If individuals or groups of individuals do wish to meet afterward, (either immediately or in the days to come), they arrange that very discretely in a low-key way. We tend to frequent large places in various part of the city where work groups and social groups go for a drink and a casual meal. If we can, we may avail ourselves of a room or a section, just like many other groups for whom the nexus is work or social life. We usually reserve under a personal name so that those attending, if they are new, can ask for the "XXXX" reservation when they arrive. (The name is not "poly" - lol) Pretty ordinary. Pretty low-key. And ideally very discrete. Those attending so far have conducted themselves accordingly. Somebody did message me, asking if there was a ticket to purchase ahead of time. The answer is no. All you do is show up, treat the ladies like ladies, buy drinks for yourself and if given the opportunity, for any of the ladies that you meet there.
