Who's going to Southport? June 05

[Lynn]

Who's going?

Will we have another forumite reception?

And I won't be staying in the 'forumite area' (as will be with the rest of the NI crowd - 14 of us I think!) - but can I visit? :flower:

[drathzel]

Me! :D

[Little Em]

me too !!!

cant wait !!

never been to a weekend event before , and looking forward to dancing the nights away !! :D

[Danielle]

Me too!!!
am very very excited!
:clap: :clap: :clap:

[Lory]

but can I visit? :flower:
Hey you! What a question! :eek:

You'll be as welcome as the flowers in May! :flower: ANYTIME! :hug:

I can't wait! This weekend has really fired me up! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Lynn]

Hey you! What a question! :eek:

You'll be as welcome as the flowers in May! :flower: ANYTIME! :hug: :hug: :flower: :hug:

[azande]

Aleks and me will be there.

[under par]

Mrs par and I will be there. :yeah:

Having just caught the weekender bug again at Camber we cannot wait for another 25 or so hours of freestyle....

I've just got to get all these shirts washed in time to go.. :flower:

[Dreadful Scathe]

me, Tweetie and baby smurf will be there :)

[Mie]

I'm coming too! :D

Just wish it wasn't a whole month away... :tears: But, perhaps it's a good thing. It will give my feet some well deserved healing time (they are covered in plasters after Camber...) and allow me time to try and improve my WCS somewhat before facing Jordan and Tatiana's workshops.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! YEY!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

See you all there!

[Bardsey]

I'm coming too! Wasn't supposed to be, but there was a spare place going in with my friends, so I let myself be persuaded (it was a very, very difficult decision :rofl: )

As someone else has done the booking this time, I haven't seen the programme, whats the theme this year for the Sat night?

[Lynn]

I'm coming too! :clap:
If there is a forumite gathering, any chance of more of those great badges? :flower:


As someone else has done the booking this time, I haven't seen the programme, whats the theme this year for the Sat night? Hot, hot, hot in Rio! Carnival atmosphere - bright colours! Does that mean I can't wear black? :rolleyes:

[Bardsey]

:clap:

Okay, I'll get my printer cracking! So, Forumites, let me know if you want a badge(r) .....oh God, lets not start THAT again!

[Lynn]

Can I get a badge please - mind you I think ill wear a t-shirt this time with some sort of smurf related picture... I have a top with my forum avatar on it (that's why I chose that avatar actually!) - only problem is - its a pyjama top and is liliac! But maybe no-one would notice :rofl:

[Dave Hancock]

Brady is the invisible man

[drathzel]

Brady doesn't have an avatar (guess that DOES make him the Invisible Man). I'll look at Jennifer's.

Well we (g/f & myself not Penfold incidently) had decided to give the June Southport a miss but having just had such a great time in Camber we've changed our minds and guess what?

I've just booked it up and "We're going" :cool:

Going down with Maxx, Skippy and Yvonne - can't wait!

Oh, and badge, please? :flower:

Excited Little Monkey :D

[Petal]

Badges for me and peaches please. :flower:

This is my first venture down south, could someone tell me if you have to book workshops or can you just turn up at anything.

Don't know if we are in the formuite area, but we'll find you somehow.

[drathzel]

I am travelling down at lunch time on the friday from glasgow if anyone wants to hitch a lift! :D (truthfully i dont fancy the journey all alone :tears: )

[Lynn]

This is my first venture down south, could someone tell me if you have to book workshops or can you just turn up at anything.
You just turn up - but Jive Addiction normally send out a programme brochure a couple weeks beforehand - so you can plan ahead which workshops you want to go to.

Don't know if we are in the formuite area, but we'll find you somehow. The past two Southport weekenders there has been a forum gathering in one of the dance rooms which is great! Its right at the start of the weekend so a great way to meet other forumites - and that's where we wear our badges! Anyone know if there will be another forum reception this time?

And I think we might have a forum BBQ as well.

[Dave Hancock]

I believe Jennifer and I are going down in the afternoon, not sure if B is coming with us, can try and organise something if you fancy.

After your car adventures on Sunday perhaps I could drive???

Bad tradesman and all that.... :whistle:

Yet more words of wisdom in your sign off - nice!

[Bangers & Mash]

I'll be there with Hayley again.

Did I see somebody printing badges? Can I have one please :cheers:

[Mr Fitz]

I'll be there... :clap:

Erm,...it might be worth pointing out that Southport does in fact reside in the North of Englandshire :confused: (slightly confusing I know). Tis a mere 2 hour drive from Hadrian's Wall. You have no excuses for not being there...the natives are loads of fun and extremely friendly :flower:

[Lynn]

Now what shall I wear?

Decisions decisions! :rolleyes: :rofl: Yeah, I could just see us all in the blues room at 4am in those outfits :rofl:

Of course, we would have shed a few feathers by then! :wink:

No bare breasts does that mean no low cut tops/dresses? :hug:

No bare breasts does that mean no low cut tops/dresses? :hug: I suppose it depends on how low cut it is! And I guess it means the guys can't come topless either!

Sorry to be so mundane, but if you are driving a fair distance, I'd suggest checking details of your breakdown recovery (you do have some ?) otherwise you will find when the car has broken down and the cheery chappy (almost always a chappy) with the grimy hands arrives (after several hours) - he will joyfully tell you he can only take you 10 miles. Which on a Sunday, in the the middle of nowhere'sville will take you to nowhere-in-particular-Town (bitter, bitter personal experience of this).

Breakdown recovery ain't cheap - but a whole lot cheaper than a tow from a garage who have got you in a vice when your car has changed into an expensive piece of urban sculpture.

Of course, if you are a girl, cry a lot. That might help - men find that stuff very unsettling.

Miss Conduct and I had a puncture on our return from Southport in June. We pulled into the services and apart for the fag of emptying the kithcen sink, the full length mirror and a months worth of food and clothes etc. from the boot, we were both really looking forward to changing the wheel. We were delighted in fact. It's a 10 minute job it was a dry sunny day we were in no rush, great chance to practice a very important skill.

2 minutes later we were surrrounded by 3 nice young men. They just HAD to help. We wanted to stand on the spanner ourselves (two each ) just to check we still could. They were having none of it. They just had to help us.

In the end we let them...on condition they let us loosen and tighten one nut each.

It was really great to meet three kind guys :grin: , but I feel I have to keep in practice for the cold rainy night where I'm on my own. I do not want to wait for the RAC (unless I really have to) and certainly wouldn't want to flag down a stranger. :really:

On the other hand....

12 years ago when I had accidentally put the wrong fuel in my car I was quite happy to play the damsell in distress and let the kind man at the petrol station suck the syphon tube :sick: :sick:

I have sort-of repayed the favour by always buying my fuel from his petrol station though :innocent: .

I'll be going there too! I went in May & September last year, and really enjoyed. A month seems such a long time to wait!

I'm looking forward to seeing plenty of people there & dance my (red) shoes off :)

Does anyone want a single room? I have a spare

[Dreadful Scathe]

:yeah:That's my costume idea out the window then :rolleyes: I was coming as a topless, fire eating, limbo dancer! :whistle:

This whole 'carnival in Rio' theme is bothering me....... I don't do colourful, and I certainly don't do sparkly-sexy-sequins'n'feathers! :tears: I have absolutely nothing in my wardrobe that could even come remotely close to this theme!

Thanks & best wishes,

[stewart38]

It would seem from the web site, the last few remaining places there is no restriction on women going ?

Ive had a major problem trying to get a place for a women , what going on ?

[Bangers & Mash]

It would seem from the web site, the last few remaining places there is no restriction on women going ?

Ive had a major problem trying to get a place for a women , what going on ?

John and Wes (?) always try and keep an even ratio of men to women at their events - which I think contributes greatly to the success of their events.

Over the years dancers have come to acknowledge and respect that they may restrict one sex or the other in order to maintain the balance.

Hence the reason most people book early.

John is a regular on the forum. May be worth sending him a pm (johnah) to see if anything can be done - but don't expect too much. Once he starts bending the rules for people, where does he stop?

Some people in scotland have been booking in couples to maintain the ratio. That might be another better approach.

Last I heard, the event was nearly booked out tho'

[jivecat]

Last time I spoke to John (May 1st) he said that places were only available for couples & single men. I hope this hasn't changed because an excessive excess of ladies is highly likely to adversely affect my enjoyment. In which case I might as well get drunk......

[Little Monkey]

Wooo-hooooo!

After spending hours browsing most of the shops in town, I've finally found an outfit for Southport (Saturday night's party). The only problem is there's not a single sequin, diamonte or sparkly bit on any of the garments, and I shall have to sit and do it all by hand...... It's gonna take forever! :tears:

On the bright side, the entire outfit (sequins, pearls and all) cost me less than £18!!!! :clap:

Have anyone ever died from too much sewing? I might just be able to finish it all by the time we're leaving for Southport...... Aaaaaarrrrrrrgh....

PS - and it's not black!!! :wink:

I'm getting post-traumatic flashbacks of standing for hours on end as a child whilt my mother stuck pins into me whilst making a tutu - all in the name of (slightly unhealthy) competition. Still, where would we have been without it eh?

Re: Southport, anyone needing a partner to purchase a "couple" pass send me a PM (I really want to go - perhaps too late :blush: )

Have anyone ever died from too much sewing? . Aaaaaarrrrrrrgh....

PS - and it's not black!!! :wink:
:yeah:

Yeah I nearly did. I was making my daughter a bridesmaid dress and I hand sewed 1000 cristals onto a 6 layered floor length skirt with invisible thread and it took me over a month!
And then so did the bride who just about managed to mutter a barely audible "thank you" on her big day...no gushing, no awe and wonder, NOTHING, NADA!! Ungrateful C*w :angry:

All I can say Is GOOD LUCK!! and a useful tip....put some ikklie plasters on yer fingertips if you can work with them in place to stop the getting too sore! :hug:

You poor thing!!!

I'm already regretting this whole DIY-sequin thing I've started..... Might be less sparkly bits on my outfit than I first planned for... :sad: I'm gonna see if I can buy some of those iron-on crystals........ Bound to be a lot easier than stitching on bloody sequins!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the finger-saving tip! :hug: :flower:

Hi Rebecca,

is there not some poor unsuspectiing guy out there that you can persuade to go as well - and then book together. As far as I am aware, all that John is trying to do at Southport is balance the numbers - it doesn't involve any conjugal activities (although some people seem to be working on that assumption)

I tried a general posting to that effect. I hope it wasn't taken the wrong way, but now I think I will have to get more ruthless. Good advice, thanks. Unsuspecting guys watch out. Off to phone a few now!

After much battling with conscience and bank balance have decided to go after all. Booked and paid ages ago, but this job has just come up which is working that weekend. So it's going to end up jolly expensive so I'm going to have to make sure I maximise on all those lovely dancers there.

And, ladies, the delightful Tony will be there too, so he is in training as I post. :D

MYes there's a Southport Venue (http://jiveaddiction.com/mambo/content/view/22/42/) link on the Jive Addiction website. It's a Pontins holiday camp.

Also might be worth reading the Southport Directions (http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2911) thread from this time last year.

I've been there before (many years ago!!) If your heading downing in the day I'm planning to stop for a bit of lunch in Liverpool, probably at est est est on the docks then do my goodies shopping in the big Tesco's near the motorway to save things spoiling in the car. you're more than welcome to join us and follow me to Southport (assuming i can remember the way too :whistle: )

That's very kind of you Danielle, but unfortunately I am working until 7pm on the Friday, so it will be a quick turnaround and dash up the motorway. Just hope we have enough energy left for a dance or 3 when we get there.

When you get to the end of the M57, you will see a sign for Southport.. don't take it thinking thats where you want to be... catches lots of people out first time .. look for the actual A5036..

Also personally I have found in the past that avoiding the M6 and Birmingham is a bonus.. so i tend to go up the M1 to junction 24A and cut across the A50 towards Stoke on trent.. throught the town and onto the M6.. misses out Birmingham

[Almost an Angel]

Hi all,

This is a begging post - I really would like to go to Southport however I need a man to book with, does anyone know of a man who hasn't booked for Southport yet and who is willing to have his arm twisted.

I spoke to Minnie last night and she suggested I ask here so please guys if you are considering going and haven't booked yet, or girls if you know anyone who hasn't booked yet, could you please PM me. :flower:

I really would like to go as it's my birthday that weekend (honest)!

Angel xx

[Danielle]

Where's the big Tescos? I'll be coming straight from work this time so like you I will need to get food nearby.

Hey David,

It means a little detour towards Liverpool, but if you go to the end of the M62, turn left onto Queens drive (A5058) and follow that untill it crosses Allerton Rd (its quite a big junction) and turn left on Allerton Road, tesco's is about a 4 min drive along that road on the right just after a set of traffic lights.
You can always head down to the docks after that and follow the A565 all the way into southport.

I hope this helps
Danielle :hug:

[Northants Girly]

on Southport and supermarkets . . .

You can park in the multistory car park above Waitrose for free if you spend at least £5 in the shop.
(This was the case last Sept anyway)
You can stay all day - it's just around the corner from the railway station, bang in the middle of the town !

[Lynn]

Our driver last time decided to follow the Southport signs (from the airport with a hire car) rather than the directions we had - which took us through Southport itself - but it was easy to find our way from there to Pontins and it did mean we got to stop at a Tesco's in Southport to stock up on supplies.

[Cruella]

I presume there is a shop onsite for us that can't be bothered to stock up before hand. Well actually probably won't have room in the car for such luxuries as food just clothes and alcohol!! :D

Friday nights all organised but would anyone still be interesting in having a BBQ and Cocktail party, early evening on the Saturday?

SilverFox is a professional cocktail maker and has sourced a supplier in southport who can supply a mega amount of ice, all we need to sort out is who brings what, fairly. ;) He's offered to bring all the specialised stuff and be our barman for the night :waycool: but we will need to bring the fruit juices and alcohol. :nice:

How's this for an idea....

1 bottle of alcohol + 3 cartons of juice between 4 people and for those who only drink beer or soft drinks, they can be exempt ;)
It would be nice to have an idea of the numbers, so we can make a list of requirements and then people can tick off what they wish to bring.

All ideas welcome!

M
We've been twice. Coming from M62 taking M57 to the end (J7), then it's tricky as you turn left towards Bootle but very shortly afterwards turn right onto A565 to Formby and Southport. Coming into Southport turn left at the roundabout signed to the coast road. That takes you straight to the venue. If instead you continue on A565 to centre of Southport it's very difficult to find - and doesn't seem to be signed...

Was looking at the breakdown of classes over the weekend. It is fantastic that there are so many different styles to choose from. There seems to be so many teachers involved there won't be much of an opportunity to really get involved with any one style. I have previously missed out on the Hussle and Nightclub 2 Step :worthy: which are both going to be taught that weekend.

Especially looking forward to Nightclub 2 Step. Although I have watched it many times the reports that have come back from the women I know, who have done lessons makes it a must.

I was thinking of driving up Friday morning early (leave Brighton about 4am) thus missing lots of the traffic - with a breakfast stop, should get there about 10'ish, too early for checking in, however it would be nice to meet up with others with the same idea :D

I made the big mistake of burning the candle at both ends, on the first couple of weekenders I went on and I really suffered, so I'm going to be very fussy this time, the problem is, there's so many good lessons to choose from! :worthy:

Actually, unless I can find a willing man, (any offers :flower: ) to be a fixed partner for any of the workshops I fancy, I think I'll just watch and reserve my energies! ;)

[Little Em]

this is my first weekender, and im sooo excited! :clap:

though have been warned about burning out, through too much dance and not enough sleep!

im taking a big supply of plasters for my poor feet!! :really:

[Cruella]

Yay :clap: , I'm officially there, and bringing a friend Dave/DJ. It will be lovely to get to meet those of you I haven't met and to reunite with those I have. :kiss:

Is it normal to be this excited?

Yes it's normal. Doesn't matter how many you've done you will still feel the same!! Will be good to see you again and tell Dave i want another dance as i only got one at bedford. :tears:

[Lounge Lizard]

Just got the tickets & Programme - must once again compliment John & Wes they reall do know how to present and put on a great event - is it only a year ago they had their first weekender :clap:

We are doing the awesome 4some again (Sunday 5.30) so hope James & Melanie are ready for more silly times

For anyone who does not know about the Awesome 4some - it is two couples dancing together and swapping partners (no it is not like the partner swapping they used to do back in the 70's :blush: :innocent:)

We sort of make the routine up at over the weekend (last September it was Sunday lunchtime), we try to make sure it is lots of fun and always finish with a very silly move

Peter

[Danielle]

I got my program last night too - now i'm really excited :clap: :clap:

There are 13 of us coming from NI (5 more than last time - the number keeps increasing) and everyone is getting excited and looking forward to it. :clap:

[Danielle]

i know!!! I always love the freestyles at weekenders (usually cos I'm in bed recovering in the day when the classes are going on :blush: ) but the classes here look soooooooo amazing i'm not gonna get to sleep at all :tears:

(no Mcdonalds needed here to improve my belly.............is so big at the moment, it dances by itself sometimes :D the belly dancing class should suit me down to ground :rofl: )

Will anyone be arriving really early ?

I was thinking of driving up Friday morning early (leave Brighton about 4am) thus missing lots of the traffic - with a breakfast stop, should get there about 10'ish, too early for checking in, however it would be nice to meet up with others with the same idea :D

Just an idea :innocent:


Were leaving early on Fri morning Minnie but not at dawn! :whistle:

PM me your mobile number & then I can call you when we are en-route.

Really looking forward to what is going to be a superb week-end. Let's hope the sun shine lots. :waycool:

:cheers: BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND :cheers:

As so many people have asked me, we are going to organise another forum BBQ for Saturday Night to go along with Vince's yummy cocktails (I'll be having caipirinha's please Vince!!).

I'll bring the disposable BBQ's again and some paper plates! If people want to come along with various nibbles and bits for the barby please. (Whoever bought those yummy bananas with chocolate last time, great idea if you fancied doing that again :drool: )

Time wise about 7.30-8.00 around the forumite area - just follow the smoke!!!

Hope to see you all there :hug: :kiss: :hug:

Yippee :clap: I will be there . It was me with the bananas last time. I'll do them again (as I have the BIGGEST BANANAS in Ceroc :devil: ).

I have just got back from hols and read the programme. It is ACTION PACKED!! I am going to have to be a lot more active during the day as there are so many fab classes on offer. Jordan and Tatiana's Hustle class on Saturday evening 18.15 - 19.15 for one.

Keep those coals burnin' Danielle and I'll hustle myself along a.s.a.p.

Alison :hug:

I'm wearing Pink/Purple glittery trousers, purple vest with beads and sequins galore! I do hope other ladies are joining in the sequin-themed fun, or I will look like a right plank! Beads will rattle!! Just a naval-stone to go and I'm all sorted.

Forumite Cocktails and BBQ Party details


SilverFox and I have been putting our heads together about the cocktails and because we can't be definite that people bringing 'certain items' will be there at the start, due to classes etc. it'll be difficult to start making cocktails

SOOOOOO! We've come up with THIS plan :clap: .............

It'll be starting from 6pm, in the forumite area and will be going on till, 'whenever people get fed up' :nice:

SilverFox is going to buy ALL the alcohol for the cocktails :worthy: but we need everyone who comes, to bring at least one carton of fruit juice (Cranberry, Pineapple or Orange) or a 'mixer' of your choice, e.g., Tonic, Cola, Lemonade, etc. :cheers:

And there will be a TIN provided, so if people decide to have an 'alcoholic' cocktail, they can contribute to the 'Help the Fox fund' and I KNOW we can rely on you good people to do that. (your forumites after all! ) :wink:

As for food, I think it'd be a nice idea if, as well as bringing along your own sausage, burger or kebab or whatever your going to throw on the barbie, if every 'chalet' makes just ONE easy dish (enough for, say 4 people) e.g., rice, potato salad, tomato salad or something sweet, etc.,

How's that :confused: :nice:

p.s. The Angelique and Lory chalet, will be mostly making Cous cous! :D

[Sparkles]

Sounds great, Lory, but that's an awful lot of layout for poor SF :(.

Since I don't have to transport my suitcase on public transport (Foxy you're an angel :flower: ) I'll try and bake some cakes to bring up with me - so anyone with a sweet tooth will be catered for!

S. x

[Divissima]

Sounds great, Lory, but that's an awful lot of layout for poor SF :( :yeah: It is incredibly generous (not to mention trusting) of Silver Fox to supply the alcohol up front - TwK and I shall be proud to support the Fox :wink: I just hope he doesn't end up out of pocket! :(

[Lounge Lizard]

We are hoping to get there lunchtime and if John & Wes dont mind will have some music playing throughout the afternoon in the blues bar - the choice of music is not mine but a list posted on this forum by Lory & Zebra Woman for a late night blues/swing set
I had all but six of their tracks, so they are on CD's and ready to play this Friday

Will anyone be arriving really early ?

I was thinking of driving up Friday morning early (leave Brighton about 4am) thus missing lots of the traffic - with a breakfast stop, should get there about 10'ish, too early for checking in, however it would be nice to meet up with others with the same idea :D

Just an idea :innocent:

Right ............ just spoke to Jockey and we are leaving Brighton at 9am now, should get to the M40 between 10 & 11am (depending on traffic) so anyone travelling approx same timing PM me to exchange mobile numbers and we could meet up on route

M40 ?? just wondering now, if this is the right route after reading Mikey's directions

Will start packing tomorrow, getting worried I might forget something now...

[under par]

Well Mrs Par and I are leaving at 1730 today, having a pub meal en route to Fleet, a venue I have never visited before.

After the class at Fleet we are going to have another snack (kebab or burger and chips) and I will then drive during the cool of the moonlit night to arrive by dawn at the Southport beach.

Mrs Par and I will watch the sun rise for the first of 4 consecitive sunrises rising up from the shimmering waves(okay I know we'll be facing the wrong way but hey I'm using a little poetic licence!!!)

After a bacon butty I'll enjoy a few hours snooze then off to the blues room by lunchtime and .................................................. ........off we go.................. :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :clap: :clap: :clap: :worthy: :worthy: :drool: :drool: SOUTHPORT

Just been on the phone to Lory and she had a whizzo idea...

If you want people to know where your chalet is you could put your Forum name on your chalet door. (I'm expecting my mobile to have no signal at all after last year :sad: ).

For starters I will stick a zebra print carrier bag on my door (present from Lory, thanks :hug: ).

See you all tomorrow. Can't wait :clap: :cheers: :clap: :cheers:

I am leaving at 6AM.Going via A14-M1-A50-M6-M58.Focus estate with FOOTLOOSE logo on the back window.(IF YOU CAN READ IT YOU ARE TOO DAMN CLOSE!!!!)
As I am a late booking I assume that I will be nowhere near the forum area but I will have my "easyrider" logo somewhere visible.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday evening-have a safe and pleasant journey.

[djtrev]

Forgot toask what time can we gain entry to the camp and what time does book-in begin

[Lynn]

Forgot toask what time can we gain entry to the camp and what time does book-in beginAccording to the programme booklet (see inside back pages) check in is from 3pm tomorrow afternoon. Not sure if you can arrive before that. There is always the beach if you are too early! NB -you need your ticket to gain entry to Pontins at the gate so best to have it somewhere handy.

[Lynn]

Just looked up the weather forecast for this weekend in the southport area........check this out (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3188) Notice sunrise time is 4:41am... so it will literally be dancing all night and into the next morning!

[Little Monkey]

MMmmm let me think, :sick: i guess there might be an unsuspecting puppy roaming around somewhere!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :tears: :tears:

Poor puppy........ I shall make sure my wee doggie is safe at home, and won't be dog-napped to be used as a mascot by you...... :wink: But then she doesn't look much like your avatar - she's a border collie not a dalmation!

Phew!

I know some folk will already be on their way and a lot more heading off later this morning/afternoon/evening. Have a safe trip everyone - hope there are no major traffic problems.
