New-Member Drinks, March 25, GVA

What a great night it was! Big thanks to the 70 folks who joined us, with special thanks to Prin for her help, Yossi for his success, and L'Hebdo magazine for choosing to cover the event!

Pics coming soon.

We'd love to hear your feedback: what was good, and what could be improved.

We already know it got a bit too packed. The Hotel space is ideal for 30-40 people, and with 70 folks showing up - it's a bit tight. We're thinking of starting to do a New-Member Drink every week (instead of every 2 weeks) to fix this.

Thanks for joining, and looking forward to the feedback!

You have no idea how I enjoyed the night!

At the beginning I was a bit unsure whether to come or not because my previous experience was not that good (I was left alone, it was completely up to me to hang around and shake hands).

But tonight THANKS to you I really enjoyed it. You got me to know 2 people, then they became 6 and then more!

Really a big thank you! and thanks also to the nice people who attended the event.



Please, if you will organize more of this events let me know.



Ciao!

Thanks a million for last night. I have been a member for quite some time now but never made much of an effort to join the events. Last night I realized what a mistake that was on my behalf. I met some wonderful people, everyone was genuinely interested and open to share their work, hobbies and passions.

Without a doubt in my mind, your website is a fantastic way to meet people, get involved and make new friends. Good job with the creation and looking forward to get involved on an ongoing basis.

Best regards,

Marc Spierings

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It was another great night. I love these events, you get to meet so many people from all over the world. I must say the girls last night were amazing..I find it hard to meet "normal" girls in Geneva and I felt right at home last night. The guys were also great, thank you so much for all the laughs. I cant wait to see everyone soon, make sure you all come out to the Spring Sindy Party, they are always my favorite!!

P.S> NIR YOU ROCK!!

I was surprised to be attending at least the beginning of the evening , mainly due to the fact that I'd volunteered to be interviewed by L'Hebdo not realising it was also a new members drink (I never look at the date or location for this having attended a new member drink in 2006)..



It certainly continues to attract a good mix of friendly people ,but I did feel the location was a little small for the number of people , especially as I left without saying thanks to Nir as I couldn't see him through the throng of people , and if you know how easy he is spot you'll realise how tightly we were packed. He's big but getting smaller by the day (well done Nir)



I think I need my new members drink attendance wiped clean so I can join in another one..

:)A great evening.  Lots of open, friendly people.  The venue was great to begin with, but agree perhaps a tad small as more people arrived.  Although bumping into people can be seen as a great ice breaker!

Many thanks to you Nir!  I look forward to attending more events and perhaps even organising the odd one...

Hi everyone,

Enjoyed the night altogether, must say it all went much better than i would have thought.

In a word 'delighted' to have joined the glocals, and looking forward to many other fun evenings.

Take care.
