London over the Xmas/New Year week - whats on?

[marty_baby]

Hiya guys,


I'm in London over the Xmas/New Year week.

What dancing/Xmas balls are on? Any particular recomendations? (I see Twford on 23rd.... and Chiswick on 30th... big gap inbetween there....)


Whats happening to the Greenwich ball this year? I'm not exaggerating when I say this - "last year was brilliant!.... my best event of the year!.... the music and rooms were unbelievably good... the venue just right.... on the river, what a view...."


Whats happening with the Ealing ball this year? Last year's I remember there were a few issues - which Franck sorted out in a very professional manner.... The night itself was pretty cool and laid back... the nibbles on the tables were actually very good... one thing I remember.... I forgot to nick all the left over lychees at the end of the night tho!


Cheers
Martin


PS:
Last year, you guys helped me organise the week - at the last minute the week before!.... Lord knows how I got tickets for those events....


PPS:
Glad I'm sitting down - I'm never this organised normally - but this question has come to me in a blinding flash!... I'm finally organising myself - post Britroc

Thanks Witty


Whats the Ashton's one like tho? Is it really packed?... ticket only or not.... ie. Is it a more "chill out and look good at the end of year" kinda event - as opposed to space to dance etc? I've only been to ashtons once... it was busy... and people were telling me it can be 4 times more people there (Christ!...)

Not really a critism of the place at all... I'd just like to know what to expect!

PS:
Do you have links for the details/ application forms etc?

[Twirly]

I'm interested in this too - and who might be doing what. Trying to persuade my non-forum friend to come back from her Christmas sojourn early. She always says she has a cr@p new year, so shouldn't be difficult if there's something good on!

[WittyBird]

Would you like me to get the tickets for you then drive you there and dance for you?

An evening of glamour? With a picture of Marc taking his clothes off

Although the girls in the other picture are far too pretty to contend with, might as well stay at home.


But on second thoughts, a whole room full of men in white shirts I'll be happy just to watch!

[SeriouslyAddicted]

Me, Turbo tomato and some of our other dancing buddies are going to Bromley on NYE - anyone know when the tickets go on sale?

Yes to the first two - and possibly the last one if my foot is giving me grief!

Who/what is running the Ealing one? *contemplates the cost of taxi's home * Friend had better come!

Ashtons last year was very busy, yes. Good, but busy.

For some comments, see the thread "Ashtons Black and white do the aftermath" from last year.

Although obviously, this year could be completely different

Hope that helps!

Hiya Guys,


Right, just sent off for my Ashtons ticket - saved £10 booking early - can't be bad!


What else is going on over xmas/New year in London??


Londsa bad press, but perhaps give that hippodrome thingy a go - so at least I can judge for myself. If its a bad night - can also go out into china town, or hit a proper club etc


Any news on Greenwich? I lurvved last year!

Val and I will be at JB's/RB do at the Bedford Corn Exchange on NYE and I will be DJing with the great man himself. It's a great venue so should be a good night.

Ummm. That'll be Franco. Franck an entirely different person, and has Sheena now to sort things out in a professional manner! (Not that I'm saying that Franck wouldn't have done things in a professional manner at all of course! )

My December list is almost complete and I will be posting this on the web tomorrow - in the meantime if anyone wants to add Christmas / New Year Eve party dance or ball on my list - please PM or email me with full details (some organisers are so slow in letting me know )

I don't have a boundary restriction for NYE or Christmas Balls (not class parties)

Thank you

Or you can wait until tomorrow and see what I have missed

[Caro]

I know I might be asking for a lot here but is there any chance to have some WCS that week around London?
