Inquisition Recovery

Whilst it is not unusual to receive thank you emails for parties, the superlative reviews for this last one were gratifying. Words like “it rocked!” “best ever” “amazing men!” “why does that DJ not do Mardi Gras?” We had 197 guys there which is extraordinary for an Inquisition party. We even had a queue to get in at one stage and there was knocking on the locked door up till 7.45 by guys who could not read their invitations or who did not realise that doors close at 7pm.

Our thanks to Chris for his amazing invitation card and for Pascal for featuring in it. Brett D the printing of the bag labels and to Malcolm for cleaning the Kirk on the Monday after. Phillip for organising the heater, bringing the gear from the lock up and then returning it, and getting the towels to the laundry . Will D and Eric supervised the bags. David N broke a sling due the heavy activity. “What’ll I do?” he cried as the man was sliding to the floor. The secret ingredient this time was Tony from Toybox. He did all the production, set up scaffolding, designed the room, and played incredible music. The other secret ingredient was the quality of the men invited as guests. It is not surprising the difference it makes when guys are discriminate in their judgement as not just invite anyone but only guys who look good and are friendly, with no attitude.

The theme was set by Peter C and Richard working over Mark our resident slave. Dominic is back from England and gave an entertaining pantsdown speech and ran the sign in desk with the efficiency we have become accustomed to, along with Paul W, Munjeet, John H and Scott M. Mail out was done by Kell, Troy and JD Peter C & Mark A, JD and Troy, Glenn, Raymond, Rob and Shaun and Chris S. Rod printed the labels and up-dated the website. Thank you especially to Shaun for his assistance with the data base this party and sending out the emails and to Peter H who has been updating the information from guys who have sent in changes of address. Set up was done quickly by Josh, Paul from Boston, Eric, Richard B, Mark, Shaun, Mikey, Steve Jason and Darius, who also, with Blair, managed the bar. Clean up Stephen M, Nigel, Robert H, Scott M, Eric, Darren SH, Bill, William and Eric, Bill and Darren SH, Ian C, Richard, Rob, Shaun, Scott M and all the others who helped bump out. Thanks guys.

Hot yet Warm – Daniel
Rod took Daniel out into the bush to take some pics and last Sunday at the party they agreed to show the results. Thanks guys.

The Data Base

MEN is the data base. It is large and constantly changing, evolving and dynamic as it should be. It takes someone with a passion for detail to run it and maintain it. It needs someone we trust who has the integrity to keep it safe and confidential. Not everyone can join it because we do not want to lose the integrity of the network of friends, not everyone stays on it as they drop off for one reason or another. MEN has been going for 12 years and in that time a whole new generation has taken over from the original guys who set it up in 1994. It starts with ID no 100 and there are very few left with IDs under 500. It is at the stage where we need a team of guys to keep it going as it is too much for one person. So if you have skills in MS Access and would like to help out send us an email and we can talk you through how it works for us.

Winter Break and AGM

We break after this party to rest and recuperate during the colder months, ready for the season to begin again at Sleaze in October. During that time you will be notified of our yearly meeting. This year we will be needing some restructuring of the operation and ask for more guys to come forward to help in producing the parties and helping out.

Have a wild long weekend.
