Nobody turned up. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess.

But this is to let everyone know that there is no more Battersea Park Munch.

I wish I could have gone to your munch.

Status: offline 		stella, you didn't fail.  The munch failed.  You did what you could to help it succeed.  You were there, you supported it, it didn't work.
 
Paraphrasing Thomas Edison, you didn't fail, you found something that didn't work.
 
and CHEERS to you for trying

Status: offline 		Um, yeah, I'm not getting the failure thing either.  A lot of groups have low or no attendance during the holidays.  You still tried and that's the important part.

Trust Me, if I was in the UK, I'd have been there.

{{hugs the awesome Stella}}

I refuse to see and believe you being a failure with Battersea Munch! Having the drive and the ambition to host munches shows that you are successful. There are many reasons why people didn't attend and don't blame yourself, ok.

Status: offline 		We understand how you feel.  After 2 years we had to give up on a munch we tried to start.  The straw was having someone come in from out of town, and no one showed up. 

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, things just don't work out.  You did your best.

Status: offline 		As many have already said, you didn't fail.  It's incredibly difficult to get a munch or similar group up and running.  I run a similar type of thing in my area.  It was just me and Spyder for almost a year before we started getting a regular crowd.  Even now, we still have very low turn-out some months.  Don't feel bad; you did your best.  That's more than enough.

I admire that you gave it a shot.

Status: offline 		I've tried, off and of, to get a munch group going in my local area for about four years now. Only recently have people been showing up to it on a regular basis. The credit for it's success was not with me, however, but with the online network of prevy kids on the local campus. They were the ones who got the word out.

Take a break from it for a while... then, if you still think it's worth the effort, try again?

  Been there a few times lass, done that and have the t-shirts to prove it too… being Male, Blond (was), Virgo and part Irish, I’ll even do it again when my renovations are done.

Status: offline 		The failure was on the part of the people who didn't take the free gift of your time, organization, and information offered. Sharing space and information about this thing we do, which perplexes many people, and leaves others feeling lost and alone, is a good endeavor to have, alas... Certainly, no failure on your part though. M
