			<description><![CDATA[Sounds like a lovely way to spend an evening! My only concern is, why the age restriction? In a community that is already so small doesn't this just further reduce the crowd.. My personal thought is that although there may be less of a connection between individuals if you open the age up, the group with grow stronger. Friendships will form, attracting more people, a buzz would hopefully slowly start so to speak.. Our community needs to grow, make contact with those considering the lifestyle but unsure where to look for support or sense of place, connect those poly people who live remotely, make sure people who profess to being poly have their head in the game and are active within the community, start a dialogue with those around us (even on a personal level), normalise it. I think poly-events should emphasis this inclusive nature of the lifestyle. I understand completely why an age restriction seems appealing, but we need to be networking ... we can hook up later ;) ..either way great post a step in the right direction in any case! good luck!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Was it genuine look for a long term partner or just an excuse to make a quick hookup? To work properly this sort of thing would have to organised around couples, quads etc, how are looking to expand their families being able to "speed date" singles]]></description>
