Scotty Presents : Cocktail Party 2013 - Why Host Such An Event?

As the organiser of both Scotty Presents : Spring Ball 2012 and Scotty Presents : Cocktail Party 2013 I realised that a major reason that people go to church is not only to grow in their relationship with the Lord, but also to build community through social interaction. There are so many cool people scattered around different churches in Wellington, but often people stay in their cliques within their churches. This in some ways is necessary, but in other ways this makes me sad because I have a heart for connecting people. As a leader of a Connections team at The Street City Church, I hate hearing stories of people who come to church without knowing anyone and then leave without anyone speaking to them.

I was once in that position fresh faced, from out of town and I knew only a few people in Wellington, but I bumped into an old friend at The Street City Church and I attended events and gathering which he knew were on and this got me so well Connected. Without him taking me under his wing I probably would have stopped attending The Street and maybe church altogether.

As an event organiser of some repute, I have decided to help people get connected by organising various sports, sports camp teams and holidays for both my own personal enjoyment and to get people from the church interacting with each other. These are even a way for people to bring their non-Christian friends along to get involved with in a less threatening way than church.

I grew up attending several church balls and even helping to organise one in Dunedin, but Wellington is a bigger place and there is less of the community vibe that you get in smaller centres, hence why I decided to organise an event which I not only wanted to attend, but want heaps of others to attend. In many aspects of life most people want to do something, but someone has to standup and actually organise it, otherwise it won't happen.

So last year Scotty Presents : Spring Ball 2012 saw 180 people (both singles and couples) dance the night away having a great time at The Boatshed, but I thought it would be good to have a slightly smaller event towards the start of the year so that new people to town could meet some people.

Get your tickets for Scotty Presents : Cocktail Party 2013 below via the Eventfinder website. Are you a single or a couple? Are you afraid of getting out of your clique and meeting new people? Everyone who attended the ball were very friendly and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is a Christian friendly event! Get your classy threads on and buy a ticket below!

Spring Ball 2012 has come and gone and we got over 170 people dressed in 1920's theme to The Boatshed at the Taranaki Street Wharf Area. We had great times with everyone getting amongst it and hitting the dancefloor learning some dance moves thanks to Geoff Hunter and his team and the Good Time Music Academy trio. There were drinks and food available all night too.

There were a great mix of people here including both singles and couples and it was awesome to see people meeting new people, having some great conversations and even exchanging numbers at times.

It was cool getting Ma Shot Pa to play for a couple of hours for us too. I was impressed by the general attitude of everyone there and it was great getting people from churches all over the world and country at this Christian friendly ball. I enjoyed seeing that were not afraid to get onto the dancefloor and have some fun.

The place looked great and everyone seemed to have a great time. Thanks for turning up and we will look to bring you something bigger and better next year (if that's possible!).


Kind regards
Scotty
