	I have just come from setting up for our awards night that we have every year. The most we have had is 150+ people although probably about a third of those would be part time explorers or just friends of explorers. I know I could do a search and check it out myself, but what are some of the larger U.E. gatherings? Siolo has mentioned a newbies expo in Sydney that had more than 50 people (how many was it Silo?). I not trying to start a debate on whether it's better to explore in groups or not - this is a party/awards night, not exploring. Cheers, Doug FacialBook is killing online forums.

I would conservatively estimate somewhere between 75-100 people. That of course is over the weekend, but there were a shitload of people there Saturday night.

	Rana's mansion parties draw a large crowd. Though not all are explorers. Some models, some are the lazy friends of explorers. OPEX '58 had about 40 people. _{Largest party (non exploring) I've ever been too... 10,000 people at one house. UCONN at Halloween...holy fuck.} "No risk, no reward, no fun."

I don't know why I always watch these things all the way through. They always boring. Even the people there look bored and as if they are moving in slow motion.

Right. More explorers need to learn to use an edit box. I personally find them unwatchable if not edited right to the good stuff. oh...and it better have an awesome soundtrack.

What was this awards night you mentioned? I'd like to know more about that.

An awards night for the Cave Clan in Australia.

I'll some more stuff about them later (I've only just got home from them).

This year's was probably the biggest yet. Someone did a count of 170 but lost track (and people kept showing up after that) but about 180 over the night would be a conservative estimate.

Held in a drain in Melbourne, the photo below was taken at 2am (a lot... maybe half, leave right after the Gold has been presented, as they have to catch public transport home).
More pics/details to come.

	so badass. I graciously approve of gigantic drain parties. If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public! If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet! Don't try to have a UER e-penis! You won't impress anyone! This especially means you, Minneapolis MN newbies!

MulletJocks, Pip & Lza after the Clannies. Drac, Onyx, Ogre, Scarecrow, Curly & Friend after Clannies. JubJub... funny bastard. Jub Jub with Green. Jub's is the one with no pants on. The mosh pit got a bit full on by about 5am. Loki had a big night. Um, your guess is as good as mine? Critt, MulletJocks, Sno.Storm & Black Duck (coming out in the background). Friend Clan Graeme from The Goodies and Reg. Beanz is controlling Jub Jub with his mind. Green, Ath & Jub Jub. Skunk, someone and WillyMan.

	30-40 people at a meet once. It was honestly way too hectic and from now on I can't stand gatherings of more than 15 or so people. It's impossible to successfully co-ordinate and entertain that many people. > The hierarchy of power dictates that the person with the most power does the least amount of work and retains the highest benefit.

Yeah, most locations are better with just a few people.

As I said in the original post, the award night didn't involve actual exploring.

Siolo has mentioned a newbies expo in Sydney that had more than 50 people (how many was it Siolo?).

Most of them were around 50 ppl, comprising half newbies n half CC folks. The biggest was 112 people down Fortress, i know, lol, cos i counted em all as they climbed down the manhole shaft. It was the last big newbies expo, as we realised we were becoming a public liability, being unable to deal with such large numbers. It was also ages ago, mid 2003 i think.

There's occasionally national British meets over here that exceed 40 people and i think Opex 94 and 95 had around 40-50 folks.

Big Drayyynes!
