Christmas Party?
 
Hi does Accy web have a christmas party for children?

That would be a good idea.

Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to pick a time and place (like Playtime or Little Treasures) and then all just turn up - a bit like the montly meetings. That way it wouldn't be so formal but all of us with kids could get together.

Falls over laughing hysterically and wonders how long before someone suggests we can't have anybody organising a thing like that or it might look like we've got a committee! :rofl38:

But if I dare say it I think it sounds like a great idea. I don't have little kids so I wouldn't be involved.

hey gayle that sounds good.............but wouldn't it be nice to organise a santa visit and a little gift bought from donations from the parents?

anyone any ideas.........maybe we could all put our heads together and make A SHED, no really come up with something!!

Re: Christmas Party?
 
That starts to sound a bit complicated. Let's form a committee! Sorry, couldn't resist that, just joking.

I think it would be a nice idea Romps!

Many moons ago another bunch of people of whom I am one used to do a thing where the parents actually bought the pressie (an agreed price limit between us) and wrapped it, put the child's name on and put them all in a sack ready for Father Christmas to give out. The sack would be hidden until FC arrived so the children just assumed he brought it with him. That also solved the problem of what to get for the children and where the money would come from to pay for it.

I think that sounds a great idea.

It's the sort of thing that happens now with the 'mini meets' and the football outings. It doesn't need a comittee, or to be done under the banner of Accy Web, just a meeting of like minded people using the forum for a worthwhile cause.:)

Re: Christmas Party?
 
I'm surprised that somebody hasn't already commented on unofficial mini meets and claimed that things are going on behind people's backs. :D

If you're just having a kiddies Christmas party between friends then it isn't an AccyWeb kids Christmas party is it?:Banane45:It's a private affair.

But if a bunch of people get together and organise a thing and want to call it an AccyWeb kids Christmas party and invite all AccyWebbers with young children to go along to it then is that really any diffrent than having a "Susan"?

I must be really thick here because I honestly can't see the distinction.

Help me Dr. Helga!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Re: Christmas Party?
 
No as you say it's no different. I was just uneasy when it was suggested I thought, that we become a politicised lobbying body under the banner of Accy Web.

I dont see why you cant have a childrens Accyweb party Romps.
I f you base it on the Accyweb meets Idea.
Through pms and posts. Diside on a time and a date.
The venue could be somewere like the bubble factory.
You have had the idea.
Now all it takes is for someone to get it organized.
Good Luck.

Re: Christmas Party?
 
Well cant see a huge problem depending on interest renting a working mens club room or something of the like maybe even accy stanley themselves:), charge an admission ticket fee to cover the costs of the room & some donations of pressies - thats how most groups organise it & yes without need of a committee!! LOL

All u need is a santa LOL:)

Re: Christmas Party?
 
I like the idea of a Xmas party for the kids, I think the easiest way would be to go to somewhere like little treasures but if someone wanted to organise something different, and had the time then that'd be good too.

Re: Christmas Party?
 
Why not invent a new title ie Senior Member or Senior Member Plus. WE could have a GDB, General dogs Body and an Assistant of the same or an Official Organiser And an assistant give them the power to drag people in and co-opt in order to bring to fruition what the members are asking for ie.Carnival Float, Kids Christmas Party, Forum Trip for the day, Whatever is wanted.......................

Re: Christmas Party?
 
not really but someone needs to take the bull by the horns and get all these so called projects off the ground instead of just talking lets have some action

Re: Christmas Party?
 
That's what I said but it didn't seem to go down very well unfortunately. :( I think people would prefer to muddle along on an unofficial basis and just sort things out between themselves (or not, as the case may be).

fireman 14-09-2005 08:24

Re: Christmas Party?
 
I think the or not seems to be the favourable side don't you?

Re: Christmas Party?
 
I have two little boys aged 8months and 2 and a bit years and we'd love to come to the party. I have organised a few things for the NCT so if I can do something to help, let me know.
Baxenden cricket club isn't a bad venue - we've been to a toddler group Christmas party there before. These things cost money though...
As for Santa, my husband donned a borrowed suit last year at the NCT's kid's party but he frightened the bejesus out of his own son and made two other little 'uns cry so I don't think he'd volunteer again!!
