500 PARTY PEOPLE WANTED! In the few short weeks since we introduced membership, we have had an excellent response, with several new signups every day - which is good news, because it means we can now develop the site to an extent that was not possible when it was a free/public resource. The membership fee, though minimal, also serves to deter the time-wasters and "messers" who often caused problems when the site was a "free-for-all". So, members can look forward to a whole range of new features and upgrades in the coming weeks and months. Offline Events However, what we REALLY want to do, in addition to developing this website to its full potential, is organise events in the "real world" - ie, parties, club nights, fetish events, trips abroad etc. - for our members. In previous years, we organised a number of events of this kind, which were very successful. Now we are planning on doing the same thing again, but this time on a more organised and regular basis. Obviously, we can only begin to organise events when our membership has reached the "critical mass" required to make them viable. We estimate this at 500 persons. The Magic Number Our target, therefore, is 500 members. We will begin to make preparations for our first members-only party when we reach the 400 mark, so that the event will be a celebration of our having reached our target - and we promise you it will be an unforgettable occasion! Other events will follow on a regular basis. There are several ways you can help us to achieve our target. By signing up as a member, obviously; but also by letting other people know about Alternative Ireland, and by linking to us if you have a website or blog of your own. The more visitors we get, the sooner we will arrive at the magic number - and the sooner we will be able to take our online party into the non-virtual world! Join Alternative Ireland today and put yourself on the VIP guest list! Close This Window
