I've been wondering who's going to what this year, I'm trying to decide which ones I want to go to, so I thought I'd see which are the most popular (apologies for any missed, I don't know all of them)

Stevenage 10 December

Jon Brett is DJ-ing at that one :waycool:

It's in a school but the floor is nice, Pat & Gina create a nice ambience in the hall with tea-lights etc, and there is a full bar.

New Years Eve Masked Ball, Bisley ??? Do you mean Ceroc Surrey's NYE party at Woking ? It was at Bisley last year

In fact a little premature to have a Christmas poll - I am just preparing my list for December and you will see there are a lot more and popular ones too ! (including the Ashton's one on the 16th )

Christmas dance parties? Dec 27th in Belfast. A friend from England will be visiting who I dragged along to a ceroc night when I was last in London a couple of years ago, he really enjoyed it but hasn't been again, hoping this visit back home will tempt him to give it another go.

And it will most likely my last evening organising any MJ events - hopefully Ceroc will be up and running next year and I can just go along and enjoy myself!

I believe I coined the phrase, yes. That's £236 in unclaimed payments I'm due from Mr Long when he returns, I reckon he just ran away so I wouldn't send the boys round...

Have just sorted out the outfit for the Yule Ball, now I just need a "wintery" witch's hat - anyone got any ideas? :confused:
I might search the attic for the black one :wink: (every attic has a witch's hat doesn't it? ) and buy me a spray-tin of silver glitter :clap:

Hi Dorothy
not a Ceroc(tm) Ball, but there is a New Year Ball at the royal Highland centre Ingliston. PM me and I'll give you details. I was at Ceroc in Edinburgh on Monday night and there were still tickets left, but not many, so you'd best be quick:cheers:

I just noticed today that the Farewell to HWH party on the 29th is scheduled to run until 6am! So most of the dance will actually be on my birthday. :D

Hope I can stay awake! :what:

Could the moderators please change "New Years Eve Masked Ball, Bisley " to "New Years Eve Masked Ball, WOKING " I think this is a mistake - I don't know of a dance at Bisley but there is one at WOKING - CerocSurrey (Annalisa's) - she did have the NYE dance at Bisley last year

AND it should be a goodun :clap:

This is a ticket only event so please don't come if you don't have one....it's not nice having to turn people away....especially if they have travelled quite a distance:)

Had a blast at the Stirling Glitter Ball, last night.

***LOVEY ALERT!***

What a fab venue :drool:
Huge thanks to Franck :hug: - the sweets were fab although I never got to pull a cracker :tears: The tables looked great for everyone coming in, well worth the effort.
It was wonderful to see a few of the Inverness-ites down for the night, thanks for "that" dance in the Blues room Harri :hug:
Thanks also to the entire "jammy" crew for some great dances, Jamie, Colin and David - wow! what a family. Oh and KT, Peter, Sherwin and and and and :D
Brilliant music all night :whistle: :blush:
thanks to CJ, DD and Trampy.........

Can't wait for the Yule Ball in Dundee on Thursday - Merry Christmas :clap:

:yeah:

I had such a fantastic time last night! Thanks to Franck and all the DJs and everyone else who helped arrange this fantastic night! :cheers:

So nice to catch up with lots of people I've not seen in ages. :nice:
And the dances..........:drool: One dance in particular still has me smiling....; a certain tango track in the blues room with Dave Hancock. Ye're crazy, man! :D Oh, and trying to stay serious when the above mentioned person pulled 'gargoyle faces' at me!:rofl: Thanks for all the dances, hopefully I'll catch you at a dance party sometime soon for some more!

Big thanks to everyone else I danced with, too! I didn't have a bad dance all night (apart from maybe the first one, as I was still frozen, and could hardly move!:eek: ) Oh, and that fabulous dance with Trampy in the main room!:D And the smooooth dances with Killingtime in the blues room......:nice: And some rather scrummy dances with Azande.......:drool: And, and, and....! I want more!!!!

Can't wait for Thursday, when 'Young Greg' and I will dance our socks off in Bonar Hall!:clap:

I had a great time too. At least, I think I did. 40 hours without sleep isn't necessarily a good thing to do before going dancing....

Was nice to see everyone who came. Did have some yummy dances. Met some nice new people :flower:

Now..... Just the Aberdeen party on Tuesday, the Dundee party on Thursday, the Edinburgh party on Friday, and the Glasgow party a week on Thursday to look forward to. Life is just hell up here :whistle:

'Twas indeed a great night. Albert halls is one of my favourite venues, and it looked great last night. Got some fab dances while my dodgy knees held out, especially one with Loreen to Madison Blues.....fab track CJ:clap: and also a nice dance from one of the Inverness ladies, ..nice to see the Inverness people for the first time.....then up to take over from Tiggerbabe DJing in the blues room.
Would just like to say that when you consider the venue, the chocolates on the tables, sweets at the front desk, two rooms for dancing, four DJs playing a wide variety of music......all for a mere £10.........Well done Franck for providing a superb Christmas party:worthy: :worthy: :cheers:
