Who is going besides me and the following :-

I am travelling with LL - David & Lily are teaching, I think ChrisA said he was going AND I am almost positive Dale said he was going - oh and the lovely Sue (Andy McG's missus)

Who is going from Scotland ??

I do hope that gorgeous Brady will be there :hug:

WHAT!!!:mad: :mad:

And you mean Dale the Dancer to Die for - great.
Also going is Sheepy and Mrs. Sheepy, Christine Chen and gorgeous chap Mike (try him ladies!!), and myself and Tone (who Pammy now knows as 'Prawny' - something to do with re-examing a certain sarny at Britroc I believe - but that's probably more info than you wanted:( )

I think it's going to be a great weekend.:wink: :cheers:

Has any one got any ideas for the Party Theme ?? All I can think of for me is "Old Mother Hubbord" - then I don't know what to wear other than an apron (+ all my other clothes of course)

Can't see me as "Little Bo Peep" :confused:

Gawd, I wish.

I'm totally devoid of inspiration. So much so that I'm thinking of having a couple of hours sleep after dinner and coming down at about 10.30

:tears: :tears:

Chris, in boring git mode

Chris, in boring git mode I suspect you will find about 100 men coming as "Prince Charming" (or some other Prince - I wanted to wear a purple suit, grow a moustache and come as the singer but Bryony thought that would just be silly).

Yeah, I'm not sure I have the balls to come as the Emperor in "The Emperor's new clothes"

... though it would solve the biggest problem with these costumes - they're just too hot to dance in.

Ladies PLEASE help me here :( - It is only 2 days away and I can only think of Cinderella, Little Bo Peep, Miss Muffett and Little Red Riding Hood :confused: can't see me in a frilly dress :blush:

- what other girlies are there, or do I have to but that apron and go as Old Mother Hubbord :what:

- bit of a silly theme - I suspect Tor has a great Cinderella costume she has been dying to wear :devil:

ChrisA

The good news - I will be able to make it now on Friday.

The bad news - I won't be there in time for tea :(

I also won't be there in time for the last hover crossing. The FastCat hydrofoil service seems to run until quite late - does anyone know owt about it - esp where to park near the terminal on the mainland, since I've only used the Hover to get there before.

TIA,
Chris

Well why dont we have a Forum Breakfast to get to know each other.
Sounds a sheepish job organising it
Fancy Dress - I spent yesterday going around the stores trying on women's night wear for my costume - eat your heart out Andy :wink:
Minnie stop sitting on the wall and get your costume ready :wink:

If I was slim and young I would have no problem - I really want to do this but it is such a hard theme for me :confused: I have asked TWICE for help - and by the lack of replies, it confirms my thoughts :sick:

How could you say that about Minnie. She couldn't play an egg, she's a mouse:wink:

There are loads of mice in fairy tales, she just needs to pick one:hug:

Minnie, If you've got a problem finding some ears let me know, I've got loads in my dressing up box. I could send them with Sue.

Minnie, I always have the same mental/creative block whenever someone mentions fancy dress. I was in Calgary a couple of weeks ago and came across a place selling off all their stock at half price, so I am feeling pretty smug as I found outfits for both me & the Prawn:na: :na:

Before I found these costumes I was thinking about Cinderella in rags - chucking together some bits of material stitched to just under the bust of a top, or as a skirt. If I think of anything else easily do-able at short notice I will post.

Calling all forumites to come up with ideas for Minnie M and ChrisA.

Oh, and count us in for the forum breakfast.:D

The frock wasn't as bad as the wig, which was too short and made Greg look like a friend of Hinge and Bracket.

Although short hair is more practical for dancing as when you wear a long wig your hair goes in your mouth if you open it while you're spinning:waycool:

Don't worry about your outfit, I'll bring my sewing box and run you something up out of an old bin liner, make you put it on in a tent, in the dark; in no more than five minutes; sound ok? Now, hand on, wait a minute, :what: that's what YOU do isn't it :wink:

Call yourself a friend :tears: Mr King of the Outfits, Thong Round His Neck, erm, I mean Waist :tears: :tears:

Oh and before you answer, careful, or I'll set Helen on you! :grin: :wink: :hug:

An exhaustive search has just revealed - pyjamas! (Collective sigh of relief, at the reduced prospect of a naked Sheepman for Sunday breakfast.)

Re. the tent outfit, I would have come and held a lamp, you only needed to ask! :wink:

Sorry to disappoint, but won't be down to Rock Bottoms till sometime next year. IOW is just a bit far of a trek for a couple day weekender. Enjoy and be sure to post some pictures of all the goings on!

Wouldn't be fair, he'd be coming as himself afterall.

Anyway, he tells me he won't wear the shoes anymore :tears:

They were so cool as well! Most importantly, they've have gone lovely with one of Andys shirts :what:

Just back from IOW and what's the first thing I do:sorry - yes I am getting sad - and missing you guys:hug:

Haven't had time to read what I have missed, but wanted to say a big thank you for fellow forumites for those great dances - wow! I reckon the best dances are on this formun :drool: plus the AMAZING sexy dance with the King of Cool (DavidB)

Unfortunately didn't get a chance to dance with Tony - hopefully I will be able to catch a dance a Hipsters

AND what an amazing dancer our Mary is :cheers: I was well impressed. I saw Mary dancing with her partner Tony and though "they look good" THEN........... watching her dance the sheepman (always been one of my favorites) wow and wow again - very smoothe and with great poise, with great music interpretation - told Lounge Lizard on the way home and he is now gutted he never got a chance to dance with her

Not forgetting LL - his music (as usual) was awsome -

And what about Sue McG - wasn't she a star :D - she didn't stop dancing all weekend

Plus a very special thank you to DavidB & LilyB - great classes, especially the 'aerials' one - in fact I reckon they should give up the showcase stuff and coach the new blood their amazing routines - we have quite a few youngsters on the scene now, eg: Ben, Adam, Sean and there partners, and of course David & Byrony Franklin, they could learn so much from the maestros

The rock botts team do know how to put a weekender on:D
