What's on weekend of 17 18 November?

[Northants Girly]

It's Wednesday already and so I can't believe no-one has posted a poll yet :confused:

But, apart from Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen and JiveAddiction's Scarborough weekend what's on?

Would be especially interested to hear about anything in/around London on these nights :grin:

[Twirly]

Well it's actually on the 19th, but there's dancing on the boat this weekend in London on Sunday afternoon. I plan on going to that.

[Sparkles]

There's a WCS tea dance in Putney on the 19th too, for details go to djsheepman.blogspot.com
Haven't heard about anything happening Saturday night though... :confused:

[Mostlysane]

I'm struggling to find somewhere as well. Jive+ are in Aylesbury on saturday. That seems to be the nearest i could find.

The 500 Club is on at Lightwater that's where I'll be - although it's Lindy not Jive.

Oh and the T dance at Putney on Sunday. Have to get my WCS fix.

The only one I know for the Midlands is Solihull sat which does get very crowded but has good music and Steve's T.dance on sunday in Bromsgrove which is building a good reputation for the music and dancers.:cool:

A marvellous night at the Chester freestyle on the 18th. I just hope after too many late work nights I'm still fit for it by Saturday. I really need a good dance:nice:

[Gav]

Anyone know what time it finishes? :confused:

8:30 'til 12:45 apparently.

"A wicked venue, and a great party atmosphere with a regular 250+ dancers, Free hot drinks and Cakes"

St Neots west coast swing on Sunday afternoon followed by St Neots jivenites in the evening is always a possibility......

I have been before and it should be well worth a visit - frequently some very good dancers in attendance. Can't make it myself though, I will be in London all day and in need of an early night...

Really? As well as Aylesbury? Seems a bit weird...

Aylesbury = Jiveplus
Amersham = Ceroc

Is it wierd cos they both begin with "A" ? :whistle:

[Northants Girly]

better not mention Ashstead then . . . .

[David Bailey]

Really? Why wierd?

Aylesbury = Jiveplus
Amersham = Ceroc

No, just that they're only about 20 feet away from each other or whatever - I didn't realise they were run by competitors though, oops. :blush:

[littlewiggle]

Anyone tried the freestyles in Solihull - it's 85 miles away from me. Does anyne know if it's worth the trek?

The music is generally good there. Especially if John or Tom Baker are DJing. I haven't been for quite some time but i always found it busy and friendly. The only complaint really was although the floor is good, it's too small! Not sure i'd travel 85 miles to it though. I guess it depends if you've anything nearer you could go to.

Ok thanks Di - I'm struggling to find anything - this seems to be the closest :sad: maybe I'll stay in and forget about dancing........:eek:

NO! If it was a choice between staying in or Solihull. Then go to Solihull. There used to be some good men there too. :flower:

[Minnie M]

I'm off to Ashtead tonight with the very lovely Dangerous Curves:clap: (hoping to meeting up with another lovely lady I don't see very ofter :yeah: :clap: :hug: )

I have just been reminded that I have been to Solihull once before - ages ago - hence me forgetting all about it! Yep I remember small dance floor, some good dancers but I did feel it attracted an 'older' crowd. Nice to have a good mix!

[Cornish Pixie]

Steve's 't' dance

whats this and where is it?

[MartinHarper]

I'm not a big fan of Solihull, but it has music and dancers, and there's nothing else on, so I'll be there.

Sunday -> Jazz Cafe in Cheltenham for me. Tough choice between that and the Bromsgrove T dance.

Doesn't matter what's on this weekend, seeing as I'm stuck at home with a bad leg.

*sniffle*

[Twirly]

Not going now - too sick :tears:

[TheTramp]

Poor Twirly...

Chilled out freestyle party in Aberdeen tonight. Lots of swing, r&b and blues music.

Definitely THE place to be :rolleyes:

[littlewiggle]

I was contemplating Solihull (as you say, there was nothing else on), but in the end I stayed at home. What was Solihull like?

Me too - I remembered it wasn't that great before! Interested to hear Martin's comments tho.

[Yogi_Bear]

Me too. I couldn't get all that enthusiastic about Norwich, Solihull is just too far, so settled for SCD4 and the X-Factor instead....!?

[MartinHarper]

I was contemplating Solihull (as you say, there was nothing else on), but in the end I stayed at home. What was Solihull like?

About 20% over capacity. 50p for a pint of water. Music was decent. Dancers were decent. Last time I went it was mid-Summer and way too hot. This time the temperature was much better.
Last time I went the fun class was a double-trouble thing. This time it was just a regular three moves + a drop thing. Somewhat uninspired, I felt, but got the job done.
I arrived about 8:30, since I was running late, and nobody was dancing. Odd.
I always leave Solihull thinking that if it was my regular venue, I'd be much better at that floorcraft thing. I'd have to be.

[Gav]

I know something you guys don't know bout that night at St. Neots ...:wink:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Well, much though I'd love to find out what angelique's talking about, not to mention dance with all those great dancers at jivenights, I can't make it tonight :tears: :tears: :tears:

[Heather]

50p for a pint of water.

This intrigues me. It is against the law to charge for tapwater - I'm assuming that if it was served up in a pint glass then it was tap water - but then again it may have been poured from bottles?:confused:

:hug:
Heather

[sidney]

I gave Solihull a miss, as in the pass I have had a fair night but that floor is so small and you end up getting kicked all night, and you can't do drops etc without getting your head knocked in, but I and a couple of friends went to Steve's T.dance in Bromsgrove and once again a fab night with Steve being a wonderful host greets you all like his friends, but for me it was extra special a reunion with my twin brothers who happen to be in the next bar who I had not seen for a few years [long story] and one of them came in to watch and had a great time so that is a happy ending in time for xmas:clap: One more thing Fletch was once again on top form being her hostess best with ever one:kiss:

[Daisy Chain]

I went to a gem of a local freestyle on Saturday in an atmospheric little hall. Loved 100% of DJ Gerry's music (he didn't play a bad track all night so it was really difficult grabbing a pee break).

The floor was comfortably full with a fairly even number of men and women and most of the men were lovely partners with a few being absolutely stupendous. I even danced with a couple of beginners (not like me, must be slipping!) Didn't have a bad dance all night. I'm told there were plenty of excellent ladies too.

And it's only 10 mins drive. Fabulous

If I tell you where it is, I'd have to kill you as I don't want hundreds of women flocking to the next one.

I think that the 50p covers the cost of the glass. If you take your glass back then any further tap water is free:)

[Missy D]

Stayed in friday - not by choice

Saturday I had a party where many punks attended. Was great to listen to the old stuff and see some old friends.

Sunday I went to Berko which I enjoyed. Great music played by Ian and Tessalicous. Had some great dances there too.

Still in punk mode on the way home so listened to The Ramones and Rage against the Machine.

Mmmm.... death :eek: , or torture??? :what: Maybe I'll stay south of Watford for a while! :whistle:

We did have a nice dance at Camber though, and my puppies survived that... ;)

I was going to try to appease you saying the place in question is more than 2 hours drive for you.... but in fact it's only 1hr 28min according to Multimap. :wink: Am I off the hook yet? :innocent:

Thought you'd like to know that I went to the Monday night class at my secret local venue last night and it was absolutely fabulous.

If you'd like to come, I suggest Monday 4th December. Apparently, we'll all be flower arranging instead of dancing that night :what:

Thank you Daisy, I will make a trip to ********, incognito, and we may well miss each other completely!... (remember Ceroc Bath!). I'll wear a flower as a clue... maybe... :whistle: I'm afraid I don't know any good men (apart from me of course) :wink: :grin:

But what a question! It's almost like asking someone if they're any good in bed before, you know... :eek: :what: :wink: :D

I'll give you a multiple choice: :confused: :rolleyes:

a) I'm a bit of a hotshot, so I may well ignore you after all :na:
b) The ladies say I'm very good, and my dancing's coming on quite well too :devil:
c) Some ladies say I'm fantastic... others seem rather bored :confused:
d) I'm so desperate for a dance, I won't let you go all night :yum:
e) I'm so desperate for a woman I won't let you go all night :drool:

Which would you prefer then :wink: !?

If you would like a reference... :D



Sunday night was fab - had a few good dances. Patrick - you just keep getting better and your musicality is brilliant! Will definately catch you for another at the next event :yeah: :clap:

Thank you Donna, how much is that I owe you now? :cheers:

Am I any good? Only you can decide... it all depends... every dance is different!

But if you want a short answer, then - Yes, of course I am! (But are you?...)

Since 2005 in Scotland (http://www.opsi.gov.uk/legislation/scotland/acts2005/50016--m.htm), in licensed premises "tap water fit for drinking must be provided free of charge on request."

However, I can find no definite pointer to such a law in the rest of the UK – in fact, the BBC says (http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/your_rights/food.shtml) that restaurants may legally charge for tap water.

[Gav]

Since drugged up clubbers started dying from dehydration I believe that clubs in England have been encouraged to give tap water freely. Whether that is regulated or not I don't know, but I haven't seen anywhere that refuses, although some just point you to the toilet sinks!
