    Well, I could make a comment about the taxi dancers, but that would be Evil.

    Thanks

    You're just jealous that you weren't chosen to be the MOG representative in our taxi team.

    True. You gotta admit, it was a very tough field though.

    I've now renamed this thread as "photo week", because it's, well, a week. Funnily enough.

    Well yes, but they don't show up in photographs.

    So far, we've got 4 people. All you need to do is take a photo at 10pm at your dance venue.

    It'd be great if we could get a significant percentage of the venues covered

    Blimey, hark at me, sounding almost enthusiastic there...
    Yes, I will contribute....! Not sure where or which days as I don't have any plans yet to be dancing Monday to Friday, but we'll see....

    Great

    As for the rules, I suggest:
    • Take as many photos as you want, but they all have to be around 10pm and you can only submit one photo to the thread per venue
    • Each photo should have a name of "day_venue_from_member" - for example: "Monday_Finchley_from_DavidJames.jpg"
    • Each photo should have a brief (1 sentence) description - for example: "Taken from the stage, focussing on a couple of lindy-stylers" or "Here's the doorman at Ashtons looking grumpy".


    How does that sound? Any more suggestions?

    Sounds good. Would that be one photo per venue, or one photo per night (could be the same venue, different nights)? If ther former, I could visit several venues the same night (yes, they are quite close).

    I per venue, feel free to dash around

    Hmmm, actually, I reckon maybe the "1 per night" rule is a bit harsh given the numbers.

    Maybe "up to 5 photos per venue"? That might give more of a feel of a place than a single venue?

    Did we say weekends are excluded?

    Am I the only one that has a class on Sunday?

    Should be interesting - only digital cam I have is on my mobile, the flash is only effective if closer than about 30cm distance...

    OTOH, at 10 pm precisely I will almost cetainly be doing the first (non-optional) dance at the end of the intermediates class, so I could whip out my mobile and surprise my random dance partner at close quarters

    Next week at 10pm I'll be:

    Monday - dance studio practice
    Tuesday - Ceroc Bath
    Wednesday - Ceroc Swindon
    Thursdsay - Ceroc Chippenham closed, prob watching James Bond...
    Friday - Riviera Leroc Taunton, or Ceroc Salisbury freestyle, tbd
    Saturday - Ceroc Swindon Xmas Party
    Sunday - Maybe Berkos, will be in London daytime

    So how will we submit them?

    We did, but that's mainly because I didn't want to add to the 50,000-odd other freestyle photos here already. I don't have anything against weekends per se

    Good point.

    Yep, any regular weekend class (Sunday, realistically) should be included - that'd include Berkhamsted.

    So, it'll start on Sunday evening, and finish on Friday evening. And I'll create a thread on Monday morning for posting to.

    Don't you have to be a Silver member to post photos to threads? Only time I tried it, it didn't work.

    Not that I don't want to be a Silver member, but can't get PayPal to work!

    I think you still can post them, but there's a limit to file size allowed, so maybe that was the problem?

    Hmm, well I assume Franck will take checks? Worth asking at least.

    He will - I wasn't sure my visa payment had gone through (couldn't remember PayPal password ). PM him for address to send to

    Nope, anywhere's fine - just make sure it's 10pm (local time of course). Why, are you going somewhere then?

    Luckily for you, it's not been asked before.

    OK, I'm going to create the thread proper this morning.

    Note - that thread is reserved for photos only; any non-photo comments on it will be zapped. I have spoken.
