Having
been
to
our
second
event
at
the
Poplar
club
today,
I've
left
feeling
let
down
for
the
second
time.
Today's
event
was
also
unorganised,
loud
and
chaotic
There
wasn't
enough
seats/tables
for
the
number
of
people
at
there
so
we
had
to
have
a
makeshift
table.
All
the
sweets
were
sold
within
the
first
half
an
hour
of
a
2.5
hour
and
unfortunately,
due
to
the
loudness
of
the
room
and
disorganisation,
my
children
had
no
idea
what
was
going
on
so
couldn't
participate
in
the
games
properly.
We
also
thought
the
event
was
a
family
event
as
the
poster
didnt
specify
children
only,
so
we
all
dressed
up
but
when
we
tried
to
enter
in
the
11+
fancy
dress
category,
a
lady
in
black
stared
at
my
partner
and
then
effectively
shooed
us
away.
The
whole
thing
felt
very
rude
and
my
partner,
who
is
autistic
with
learning
difficulties,
struggles
to
leave
the
house
so
having
managed
to
get
her
there
and
up
to
the
stage
only
to
be
treated
that
way,
was
upsetting
to
say
the
least.
It
really
felt
like
the
lady
thought
my
partner
got
up
there
to
try
and
con
the
kids
out
of
a
prize
but
it
did
sound
like
the
dj
said
the
adults
could
get
up
for
that
category
so
it
was
just
a
misunderstanding
that
could
have
been
dealt
with
better.
We've
been
to
similar
events
at
similar
venues
where
its
been
better
organised
and
really
focused
on
families
-
adults
and
their
kids
could
participate
in
all
games
and
events.
This
just
felt
like
it
was
a
case
of
adults
needed
to
buy
a
ticket
and
were
expected
to
sit
down
whilst
their
kids
ran
riot.
I
am
confused
as
to
why
I
needed
an
adult
ticket
if
adults
weren't
able
to
participate
in
any
of
the
games
or
the
fancy
dress
event.
During
a
cost
of
living
crisis,
not
everyone
has
money
to
pay
for
an
event
they
can't
even
join
in.
The
last
point,
was
that
the
men's
toilets
smelled
really
bad
-
it's
a
small
thing
but
on
top
of
everything
else,
it
was
the
final
straw.
In
the
end,
we
ended
up
leaving
after
40
minutes
because
our
kids
weren't
having
fun
and
my
neither
were
we.
Overall,
the
experience
has
been
so
unpleasant
that
it's
put
us
off
attending
the
Poplar
club
again
which
is
a
shame
because
social
clubs
are
our
thing.
The
one
positive
I
have
is
that
the
club
itself
is
decorated
well,
quite
modern
and
bright.
