The unofficial Weekender

[Lee Bartholomew]

Been talking about organising a few weekenders in places like butlins etc during quite periods in the weekenders calander.

Idea would be mass book an over 18's weeknder at Butlins. No classes during day just chilling out and the music and bands in the eve.

First one I was thinking off is weekend of 6th July in Bognor. Headlining are the mighty Chas n Dave

Family Holidays At UK Holiday Parks - Butlins

[tsh]

Wot on earth are you smoking? There's surely weekenders for every day of the year already?

[Twirly]

So basically getting a bunch of MJers together and going in on a normal holiday weekend and taking over the place?

A group of dancers looking great in front of muggles and all getting to know each other ... I like it.

Chas 'n' Dave --- you have lost me now though.

Any other options.

Yeah

Chas n Dave, I recognise the names. I can't make 6th July tho I'll be too busy saying "Semicircle to the left n step back!"

Can a mod make public then delete this post to save my embarrasment of how cack I am.

I've redone the poll, so those who have voted will have to vote again.

[ducasi]

It's not such a bad idea, but for a lot of people it's a long way and a fair expense... Especially with the quality and quantity of the music, floor and dancers all unknown.

Good luck if you decide to go ahead with it though.

I believe the correct saying is "semicircle to the left and both step back"

which at the beginning I thought was 'bow step back', which I thought was a little weird, but hey in those days I thought modern jive (well, ceroc), was a weird dance anyway. I was a bit surprised some people were not bowing more (it did seem to me that some people were indeed bowing though )

It took me a very, very long time to realise the teacher was in fact saying 'both'

Bloody hotshots, think they know everything
