:yeah:

Especially seeing as its the 400th anniversary this year! I guess they think, no fireworks, can't call it a Bonfire Night party, they could always stick a few sparklers around, maybe have some indoor fireworks at some point.

Hah, tightwads - they should pay you for bringing us along! (Or in my case, possibly pay you for keeping me away).

But it's sounding more promising now, certainly. If my services are not required at my normal venue, it's definitely tempting...

But then the Pitlochry one is Fancy Dress, while I think we established that the Marco's one isn't. (As I don't do fancy dress, Marco's would do me fine, but as I'm going to be in Pitlochry anyway...)

Will maybe see you on Sunday. :flower:

Pretty please?

Have got to say that the Perth night was fantastic - had heaps of laughs with the guys and girls who were dressed up (sorry I'm too boring - managed to throw on some spider jewellery but that was it!) and got a brilliant scare from JohnS - I obviously need to move my powers of observation up a gear or 3!!

Thanks to all the organisers for making it such a fabulous night.

PS Who won the car again?

Not this WB; this old dodgerer gave it up (surprisingly easily) at Easter. No more minature Hamlets for me, and no more morning cough.

[I do not imply that the other WB is an old dodgerer ;-) ]

Should be some posted from the Dundee party sometime tomorrow I guess.... Tiggerbabe took loads of photos, anyway!

Very bizarre night - I made a bit of a flying visit, arriving after 9, and leaving at about 11.20. It was enough for my back anyway, and I had some lovely dances, so it was worth it. But the bizarre bit was all the compliments I got.... Imagine Ozzy crossed with Cruella crossed with Morticia Addams.... And you get me! :whistle: And people thought I looked good! :rofl:

I love dressing up so that people can't recognize me.... :D :cool:

I'm now going to spend the next hour trying to get all the black make up off!

Clearly there had been some preperation at Chesham and it was nice to see the cob webs and 'stuff' at the venue

Numbers however very disappointing and lots of newbies and bit of slippery floor and very average set or poor set of music which was a pity

I really enjoyed Chesham to, but i agree with Stewart38, the floor was really slippy :sick: and there were quite alot of new dancers which i didn't mind too much as we all have to start somewhere.

The "Michael" witty is on about is the tall coloured guy that lives in Bedford, lovely man, i found myself dancing with him most of the night as he is just fab :drool:

Shame the numbers were down but i have not been to Chesham for at least 3 or 4 years so don't really know what is like these days. Thanks to jilly for putting a big smile on my daughters face and giving her a massive ghost balloon :flower:

Dont get me wrong it wasnt a bad night, i guess id built it up in my own head that people would be coming from far and wide

Numbers maybe a little less then a usual monday and way less then a standard friday

I guess ive had some great nites recently (some dancing :whistle: ) and on the back of Ashtons it wasnt all that I had built it up to be.

OK - my hands are up - I would never ever have recognised you LM! Good costume.

Also in response to Stewart38s quezzy - no disrespect to either GiddyGiraffe (who looks stunning) nor JohnS (I'll never be able to look at you in the same way again :rofl: ) but I thought that Stewart was asking for the name of the lady in post no: 59 - but I could be wrong.
