Exactly, why the word ” clique” has even been mentioned on this thread I have no idea! The Chinese restaurant in Pontivy sounds a good idea to meet up with other members, if that’s what some want.
Read it all again, tigre, there was a reason and it was not meant as a criticism of this forum but quite simply a mention of how a clique “can” form, as has happened before on a now defunct forum.
As you go through life you bond with some people and not others. Exactly the same happens on a forum, some people are friendly and welcoming and some not. It isn’t a clique, just a difference of approach to conversations/discussions and if you never actually meet someone you can form a perceived opinion of someone which may be different if you actually met them. It can be very easy to form a wrong opinion of someone judged just on the written word which is why I think it is nice to meet people you corrispond with.
Anonymous29th September 2019 at 9:52 am #503355I think it’s nice to put faces to names too. I’ve known Bart for years and more recently met Witchy and the Wizard at Bart’s party.
As jivedance said a clique is a group of people exclusive to them, excluding all others, I don’t think there is such a thing on this forum, we are all open to opinions from others.
I can understand what Roger was getting at when speaking of members meeting, by the very nature of some people meeting up and not joined by other members, then that group of people will have a connection between them that the other members don’t, simply because of their voluntary, for one reason or another, exclusion to the meet up, but it doesn’t mean that they are purposely excluded so the group is not a clique.
In any case, it’s a lovely idea for those members that wish to get together and enjoy some social time in each other’s company to do so and what better place than that buffet-style Chinese restaurant, we love it there so enjoy your meal folks (but pace yourselves, it’s very easy to get carried away!!)
29th September 2019 at 10:01 am #503362Thank you all for your feedback, overall it seems that people are in favour of having the opportunity to meet with members, so we’ll continue to develop that idea.
As usual, any further suggestions and ideas are always welcome.
Anonymous29th September 2019 at 1:16 pm #503406I don’t need to read it all again, Roger, thanks all the same.
So tigre, you already knew why the word clique was brought up but still decided to ask why, when there was a prefecly acceptable reason for it. Oh well back to the bar

Anyone is welcome chez-nous whatever colour ,creed or disposition.
In which case, tell me where to put your pin in the map, Pete, so people know where you are!
