When you decided you plan the get-together you must've had a reason for doing so. Did you do it just to get to know them? Do you want it to be a social gathering? Do you want it to be a learning / teaching event?
If it is a get to know each other social event - keep it that way. Have you ever been invited to a party and then get there only to realize it was just a scam to get you to attend? It is disappointing and irritating.
Maybe you can let them know beforehand what your goal is - social, business, workshop etc. That way they will know what to expect and they can prepare for it.
You can do it as a workshop where you brainstorm to identify problems you experience and find solutions to them.
You can have some of your successful affiliates lead a session where they share their secrets and tips for success with the rest of you.
It can be just a team building exercise - a strong team means more success for everybody involved. Team building can provide a support system to the team, motivate and encourage. It is a lot easier to give up and walk away if you do not have a person or persons to think about. If you know your team you also feel a responsibility to them and it makes you try harder. It is also very helpful when you are having a tough time if there is a team to encourage you.
