O.k.you guys is there such a thing?

Would it be a good idea?

Could it be organised?

Annual Ball or dinner dance?

Organised perhaps on Cyprus44's founding day?

Would members already living in TRNC organise it?

I am sure any number of hotels/venues would like the business?



On a lighter note:

Would the "Anonymous Ones" turn up

Perhaps the above would... if it was a masked or fancy ball

Hey... a fancy ball... another possibility... or just plain daft?



Plenty to think about, what are you thoughts?

Hi joseph,

I think quit a few members would like to meet up with others.

And if it was an all inclusive (free drink) night,

could be a very interesting and memorable night.

Who knows?

Hi Navek



Could be advertised as free drinks all night, heck don't have to tell 'em its free tap water, seriously though an all-inclusive could work as obviously many hotels do it all the time and they must find it cost effective?



Even a simple chicken in the basket could go down well

i for one wouldn't want to come. The thought of Garry Monger's missus in a little, no strike that, extra large black dress gives me the shakes.....

Make it a masked ball, that way we can still be anonymous! We could have badges with our user-names on.

hi all i can even supply the masks and name the name tags, only prob i cant be in disguise as you all know me. I would love to do a maked ball and we are actually planning one so why no the 44 masked ball, interesting xxxxxxx I guess we would all be so surprised. I cant wait to see Hippo in a mask, sadly hipyour discription all i can think of is a hippo and Im sure you are a very smart ecentric gentleman, the rest i can only say what i feel, im sure it will be a night to remember and may even cut out the infighting xxxxxxxx

I Think this is a great idea for a Summer Ball.



I propose and suggest that WynYardman be the Guest Speaker...! I can just picture him in a DJ and Dicky Bow Tie!



Maybe Izzet would like to consider organising such Summer Ball?



I would suggest the Pia Bella for the Venue, Superb Hotel/Staff etc and the cater for large events....

I've been a reader of this forum, and a couple of others for some time, all a bit heavy, but just joined up to say this would be a very good idea, especially for new people to the board, or new people to Cyprus to make new friends, though reading a couple of messages over the last few days makes me wonder if would end up in a drunken brawl, like the idea of that Wynyardman chap as speaker, he always seems to have something to say, anyhow, the first bottle of Macallans is on me.

I suggest a police warning beforehand as certain characters have built up so much animosity against each other that they might arrive all tooled up!

Definitely a masked ball for me, just for the fun of it rather than anonimity or make it a fancy dress ball, free to choose between the two.

Might I suggest the evening could include some form of fund raising for the young Turkish couple. Charity auction? Raffle?

Lilli, I am more than happy to help organise this, I have done similar (smaller scale) in the past so if everyone is REALLY serious about this, how about a serious headcount and then we can approach hotels? Let me know

A masked ball is a brilliant idea and Im sure most of the members would love to join! Name tags sounds great as well because we all know most of the members by their nicknames. Count me in!! Has anyone started making arrangements?? x
