Hi guys,

Just a quick note to say that the tickets for the 10th Anniversary party in Glasgow on Saturday 23rd November (8.30pm to 1.30am) @ the Henry Wood Hall, are now available for sale at Glasgow & Aberdeen venues, or directly from me at the office (just email / phone to reserve tickets, and send a cheque £10.00 per ticket payable to Ceroc Scotland).

The programme for the party is now almost complete. I can confirm that Jean Harris (who started the first night in Scotland) will be there, and James & Janie Cronin, who started Ceroc in the UK will also be making a guest appearance! :waycool:
I have decided to make the party a Ceroc Ceilidh, so we will have just over an hour of Ceilidh (Scottish traditional) dancing in the middle of the night! Perfect for all your non ceroc-ing friends and visitors from South of the border :wink:
The music will be provided by 2 incomparable DJs: Ceroc Jock (Robert) and Curtain (Paul), so the mix on the night should be both explosive and varied!

I am still planning a few more extras for the night, but will keep those under wraps.

So! Make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible, as I have already sold 30 tickets to various people down South! :really: and I will limit the numbers to make sure we all can have a good night dancing. :cheers: :yum:

Are there any hotels near the hall. We can't make the competition, and don't want to miss both big events.

Absolutely !!:grin: I'm really looking forward to it. Can't wait to see James and Janie Cronin again, I'm glad that they are making the effort to join in the celebrations. As for the rest of the gang up here in Aberdeen, well, I have been annoncing it on stage and will be really pushing it over the next couple of weeks. It has already stirred up a bit of excitement, so yes, I hope that there will be a big crowd of us venturing down south, ready to boogie!!!

I believe that our resident DJ, aka 'Curtain' will also be making his debut down there. Be prepared, he's a bit mad and not easily forgotten.

See you all there,

lotsa love Lorna x-x

Ahhh young DJ Curtain on the main stage, makes the admission price worth it by itself. Will he be forced to have a haircut if he's going to be presented to Ceroc royalty?

(Can I put a request in for Cantaloop now Curtain?)

Lorna - You're giving these people the wrong impression of me. Don't worry everyone, I'm more normal than Lorna, believe me!!

Gus - Perhaps instead of me cutting my hair for the "Ceroc Royality", the "Ceroc Royality" should grow their hair for me? Just an idea!! I feel my appearance is getting built up too much, if you could all tone it down a bit (the punters might think something interesting's going to happen).

Filthy - Your appearance tonight was instantly forgettable, it was like you weren't even there!! Only kidding!! It was lovely to see you again, it must of been such a relief to get out of Dundee for the night!! Only Kidding!! Thanks for bringing up your entire CD collection, I can only hope you had a good time.

p.s. Laura? David Bowie doesn't count as Heavy Metal dear. Promise to play a cheesier set next week.

Eh!! I haven't even met you and already you are slagging my hair do. I'd hold judgement, I think you'll be mightly impressed by my mop. I look forward to meeting you to Ceroc Jock, it will be an honour.

By the way, if you play a better set than me you're dead.

see FC's reply.

I assumed we would just repeat the same songs no? In fact, lets just use a computer cos us dj's are over-rated and surplus to requirements.

Curtain

What was I thinking, of course ...

We'll make the CD's up on Friday night and stand at the bar all Saturday. They'll never notice!!

Coming back to a question from big Dave that never got answered....

ANy recommendations for good cheap hotels in the area, particulalry on a pay by room basis? There's a posse from Nantwich looking to come up but the younger lasses aren't exactly rolling in riches so accomodation at the 'ecomony' end of the scale would be good.

Also heard ther may also be a posse coming up from Blitz Sheffield. Looks like the Scots reputation for hospitality and good events is spreading.

Here are a few affordable suggestions for accommodation close to the Party venue (ie less than 5 minute walk).

The cheapest hotel I could find nearby is the Kelvingrove Hotel:
The Kelvingrove Hotel (http://www.kelvingrove-hotel.co.uk/index.htm)
944 Sauchiehall Street
Glasgow
G3 7TH
_
Tel: 0141 339 5011
Fax: 0141 339 6566
E-mail: kelvingrove.hotel@business.ntl.com

Here are their prices:
Room Only / Bed & Breakfast

Single Room
£33.00 / £38.00

Twin/Double Room
£24.00 / £29.00

Family/Triple Rooms
£20.00 / £25.00

Quadruple
£16.00 / £21.00

Next if you are looking for more up-market accommodation, is the Marriott hotel
Marriott Glasgow
500, Argyle St
Glasgow Lanarkshire G3_8RR
Tel: 0141 226 5577
With prices at £84.00 bed and breakfast for a double / twin room, but there would be a discount if we booked over 10 rooms at once, so let me know if you are interested, and I can negotiate something.

Finally, you can always rely on Travelodge (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/booking/hotel.php?hotel_id=209) Rooms are quoted online at £45.00 per room (double / twin). Breakfast is extra.

I hope this helps, and if anyone has other recommendations to make or indeed would like to warn about some "bad" hotels, please post here!

Franck.

Since reading all the fun had at the champ's I'm trying my hardest to be able to attend this - should be fun :D

One question to those who Ceroc with kilts;
When I wear my kilt to ceilidhs, it gets very warm, and I'm not working half as hard as I do at ceroc. I would think that it would be almost unbearable? Comments ?

I hadn't really read this thread until now, so missed this last week. I was going to post a witty reply about Gus being really thoughtful and generous to think of sharing his room, but as he isn't here to defend himself (don't they have internet cafes down under??) that would be really underhand of me :wink: .

Wondered if this could be a thread on is own (Franck ??? )

Would be delighted to put up a guest or two on a Glasgow night (continental breakfast included - cappuccino to die for !!!) in exchange for a room in another location on another party night.

Having now met some of the folks from Newcastle, Cheshire, Aberdeen and Dundee would love to travel for the parties but adding an extra 40-50 quid for hotel accommodation is a little cher !!!

(Gus - you'd be more than welcome (and I'd give you a Cantaloop you'd never forget :wink: ) but in return you'd have to take us to the French Brasserie or Franc(k)s :wink: :wink: or Sinclairs or Est Est Est or Pizza Express or Hale Wine Bar (RIP) etc etc for a kir or two !!! )

OK. I checked out some local hotels at the weekend. The first 4 are all < 5 mins walk from the Party venue. The other 2 are perhaps just over 10 mins or a short taxi ride.

Specially for FC I also asked about bar opening hours! :really: Please note that not all of the hotels listed are licensed.
Everyone pretty much said the same thing - opening hours are at the manager's discretion and depend on how busy they are on the night. The Premier Lodge implied that 1.30am would be late for them, whereas the Devon Cove said that there are night staff on duty who could serve drinks all night if desired!
So, just tell them what time you'll be back and ready to party!!! :cheers:


Argyll Hotel (0141 337 3313)
973 Sauchiehall St

£56 single, £35 per person Double or Twin
Includes breakfast


Devon Cove Hotel (0141 334 4000)
931 Sauchiehall St
£50 single, £55 per room Double or Twin
Includes Breakfast

This rate was authorised by Barbara. As of Sat a.m., they have 20 rooms available for Sat 23rd Nov.


Kelvingrove Hotel (0141 339 5011)
944 Sauchiehall St

£30 single, £25 p/p Twin, £20 p/p triple, £16 p/p Quad (triple + sofa bed)
Includes Breakfast.
This appears to be a slightly better deal than the prices that Franck found.

Non-smoking hotel.
NB: NOT licensed.


Sandyford Hotel (0141 334 0000)
904 Sauchiehall St
£32 Single, £52 per room Double or Twin, £70 per room Triple

Includes Breakfast
NB: NOT licensed


City Inn (0141 240 1002)
Finnieston Quay

£89 per room (room only) Ð all Twin or Double rooms


Premier Lodge (0141 221 1000)
10 Elmbank Gdns

£49.95 per room (room only) Ð Single, Double or Twin


As I've never stayed in any of them I can't pass comment on whether they are good or not, so the above comes with a disclaimer that nothing is my fault. :what:

Unless Franck just tells the Hall manager to leave the keys and we'll lock up when we're done :p :yum:

There are a couple of 24 hours places in Sauchiehall Street where you can get food & drink at any time (only 3 minutes walk from the Hill Street Travelodge for example :cheers: )

Just a quick final note, I will not be reserving tickets in advance, if you need a ticket, make sure you send a cheque (£10.00 per ticket payable to Ceroc Scotland) to: Ceroc Scotland, 5 Thorndene Court, Falkirk - FK1 5JY. Enclosing your address so I can send the tickets to you.

There is a very good chance the night will be a sell-out in the next couple of weeks, as everyone I have been speaking to will be going! Plus we have 4/5 groups coming over from England (North and South), including some Ceroc teachers...
So don't delay, get these tickets, or you will be disappointed!

Franck.

OK then i'll be in the hotel where everyone else is then :)

Since when did you wind down? Do the words' Hoagies', 'conga' and 'limbo dancing' ring any bells?
I rest my case!!!!!! The only time I've EVER seen you wound down was after a large chicken kebab and hamburger on Saturday night , when you fell asleep in the back of my car on the way home from Marco's !!!! ( They do say there's a first time for everything!!)

(Can see me getting bundled in the back of a taxi after 10th party. "yeah mate can you just drive around till she drops off?") :yum:

If there's dancing to be done.....why sleep?? :wink:

Well no surprise - the two Sandra's will be there - I think I bought the first 2 tickets!

Where is everyone staying? Don't want to miss out on the "after party" fun!

Going by car for a bit of retail therapy first and then a couple of drinks in some nice bar and then dance the night away and then fall into some nice bed somewhere but haven't booked anything yet.

Cheers

OK guys, just a quick update on the PARTY! as it is now officially known. :D

First the bad news! I am down to the last few tickets. I have given Scot a few for the Edinburgh and Dundee nights, so you can grab them before they disappear. Both Lorna & Ross have a few tickets left in Glasgow, but probably for the last week. In Aberdeen, I will be taking a dozen tickets with me tomorrow (Tuesday), so get them early if you don't have them already.

Anyone wishing to buy tickets, must email me and send a cheque as soon as possible, as I will not be holding tickets for anyone and you will not be allowed in without a ticket as the night will be sold out :really: :sad:

Now for the good news :D
It looks like the 10th Anniversary will be the biggest event we have ever organized in Scotland, with over 300 people turning up for the celebrations... Many teachers from down South, confirmed they would also be attending, so it will also be one of best mix of dancers we have ever had.
Anyone still hesitating, I would say "Don't", you will regret missing it for a long time!

Franck. :cheers:

There are a few tickets left at some venues. You can also buy them directly from me by sending a cheque for £10.00 per ticket (payable to Ceroc Scotland), to Ceroc Scotland, 5 Thorndene Court, Falkirk - FK1 5JY.
I only have about 20 tickets left in the office though, so you had better be quick (should not be a problem for a fox :wink: )

The venue is the beautiful "Henry Wood Hall" in the west-end of Glasgow and the night starts at 8.30pm 'til 1.30am.

Franck.
