[jivebunny]

Hello

JiveAddicted and I were wondering who is going to the Daventry 'Bugsy Malone' freestyle on the 21st and the teadance on the 22nd? one or both?

Ax:flower:

[Jivingdan]

Hi Amy
I am thinking about making it down for the saturday. It depends on If I can convince my dance partner . She has been away for a few weeks so I have been missing my fix. I will have to dance wherever she is i'm afraid.

[Cruella]

I'm hoping to do both, but i need a babysitter. Any Volunteers? :rolleyes:

Leave the M1 at junction 16 (signposted Daventry)...Which direction are you coming from, Katie? I reckon the best route from the North is different to the best route from the South..

[WittyBird]

Which direction are you coming from, Katie? I reckon the best route from the North is different to the best route from the South..

All she actually needs to do is go Here (www.theaa.com)
Put in her postcode and then put in Lodge Road Daventry it will then give the route.

Or goto Halfords buy TomTom :D

[Katie Kicks Ass]

I'm coming from stoke! so its slightly north.

I'm a student I can't afford tomtom.

[Daisy Fox]

Yes thanks...

Oh you mean you want to know?

Dress to Impress is the code.... But we don't need to tell you that :clap:

I presume you're staying at mine then?


I read somewhere that it is Bugsy Malone themed, quite new to Daventry freestyles - is this also the dress code - flapper dresses and the like, and do people usually make the effort.

Any tips, gratefully received. Hope to see you all there. x

Marc might be doing Sunday as well - in the past he has shared it with Rod A. Either way the music should be good.

[Marc Forster]

Hi folks. Yet another main event in the world of modern jive which we hope will meet everyones expectations. Personal regret in missing the Hippodrome party last night in favour of planning tonights event.

I figure 2 heads are better than 1 so we have invited down from Revolution Dance the loveable DJ Becky. She's the girl who kicked my ass night after night during our recent holiday in Cuba. As one of the the rare few who is more dedicated to the cause than myself, I look forward to hearing her break new ground with her national debut.

We aim for an 8.30 start with touches of West Coast Swing leading towards a Jango set from 10-11pm. Then it's down to business with the very best of Blues and Latin till at least 3am.

Peace out.
Marc

Axx

[jiveaddicted]

Fletch loved your dress and your tie :nice: never led any one like that before :sick: it was also nice to meet a couple more forumites who more faces to names to confuse me!! Big thanx to Marc and Bekki for the music it was awsome as always see you all later at the tea dance :clap: :clap: :clap:

M:nice:

[Katie Kicks Ass]

it was also nice to meet a couple more forumites who more faces to names to confuse me!!
:yeah:

A great night, shame I had to leave early. I'll never remember whose who I met so many people last night but thanks to all of you I danced with.

[Juju]

Another great night at Daventry. :clap:

I've never been before and it was excellent. Definitely going again.

[stewart38]

I've never been before and it was excellent. Definitely going again.

Yes to that

I had a excellent night :grin:

[Daisy Fox]

Fab night at Daventry. Congrats to Fletch for winning the fancy dress comp. You looked fantastic. How many days until the next daventry? Counting them down.:flower:

[Cruella]

How many days until the next daventry? Counting them down.:flower:
67days

[jivebunny]

Hiya

already posted about Saturday night, but then i went to the tea dance on sunday. Not many people there, but i had a fantastic time, i learnt more in an afternoon then i have done in weeks at classes :clap: and i managed to wear my new shoes all afternoon. :clap: :clap: it was nice to meet and chat with people of the forum too.

Was guttted to have to leave at 5 due to an horrendous drive to Harrogate:sick: , i could have danced all night again.

Counting down till Derby now (60 days)

A:flower:

[Daisy Fox]

67days

Thanks Cruella. Gotta book those tickets and start work on my outfit :rofl:

[robd]

Sorry to all the guys i danced with.:rolleyes:

Apology accepted.

[Cruella]

Apology accepted.

Sorry? Did we dance? :whistle:

[robd]

Sorry? Did we dance? :whistle:

It depends how you define the term 'dance'.

A few white shirts on show, though, so I am sure you had a good night.

[Cruella]

Especially the wet shirt comp at the end :wink:

[WittyBird]

Witty kept forcing wine down my throat so wasn't really dancing my best tonight. :blush:

Errr? What? :rofl:

[Cruella]

Errr? What? :rofl:

Yes i know it was an obvious blatant lie!!
There is no way the wine would have been able to bypass your mouth if it was in your hand!

[CentrAlex]

Good come back Cru!

[robd]

It will suprise no-one to learn I had a FANTASTIC night at Daventry, as I always do.

5 or so hours of Marc's music, a dark room (don't be predictable Cruella) and lots of lovely ladies - I had some seriously :drool: and :yum: dances . Such a shame that it's another 3 months to the next one. I really think Daventry might be able to sustain a monthly night in the Saxon suite with Marc playing that kind of stuff. It seems to me that with each successive one, more and more people are willing to come through from the main room (and not just when the main room closes).

Thanks to MsFab for enjoying/enduring a tango/jango dance with me.

My only disappointment was not hearing Marc announce when the last song was playing. I had asked someone to save the last dance for me so when the lights went up I had to go find her and apologise. We did then dance to the playout track but it's never the same when dancing with the lights up, is it?

Rob

[WittyBird]

But you missed me... Yes?

But you missed me... Yes?

No :D

:yeah: I hear the next one is at Christmas - and I'll be in Somerset doing family stuff. Pah!

Daventry evening.


Well Daventry is still the best Freestyle I have ever been to. :worthy:

As usually I had some lovely dances, I had a fab dance with Fred in the wheelchair as I came of the stage, from winning my Terry's chocolate orange,:rolleyes:
by the way did I tell you I won a chocolate orange.:D

Lovely dances with Centralex and DD+, Dee you looked wonderful.:flower:


Well, done Alex on completing your dare even if you weren't prepared.:whistle:

Best dances of the evening go to CrisA :drool:

A big thank you to Marc and Rachel for putting me up.:hug:

Best laugh, BARMPOT dropping his trouser to reveal what he had been dancing in all night, a Peach, satin posing pouch, I wonder if that's why he wiggles about so much when he is dancing, it was like a cheese wire.:sick:

:rofl:

I think he needs to go shopping with jiveaddicted, nice pants BTW :waycool:



Daventry 't'

Not many people there, but it was good, lovely music by Marc and Rob ........and not forgetting Becky :worthy:

I had a dance with a guy that was obviously a beginner, but he was holding his own, when I sat down I was told he was blind, and had only been dancing for 6 weeks, what an amazing guy, I will be looking out for him again, takes guts.:respect:

The day was chilled and laid back, with a good atmosphere. :clap:

i'm not sure I can make the 29th is Maddy's birthday :tears:

Hi fletch what can i say you look top dollar, do me a favour please try a bit harder with your dresses!!!!!!!!!
Looks as if it was one good party at dav, that freesyle will take some beating anywhere in the country, its the tops.:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Lost Leader]

Footnote: the Daventry floor (in the Saxon suite which was the blues room) is at last back to its old slippy self :grin: . We had been sufering for several weeks with it being horribly sticky and thus endangering the worlds supply of talc. powder. It finally got polished up for the weekender and is back to being a pleasure to dance on again.

I also gather that the whole venue is going to have a fairly major refurbishment sometime this winter so by the time the next weekender comes round (some time in the Spring I guess) the place will have had a facelift and will have improved facillities :clap:
