Friday 31st Aug - Sunday 2nd September

[Twirly]

Is anyone else going?

I've just booked my ticket - I keep missing out on gender balanced things so thought I'd get in early. My first Slinky's

Should be a good weekend for dancing in London as I believe there's Ashtons on Friday 31st, and also a tea dance on HMS President on the Sunday.

I know that there will be other things on elsewhere, and although this thread is a bit early for that particular weekend (just wanted to remind people), maybe other events could be added on nearer the time?

[Rhythm King]

I need to book a ticket when I get back to UK

me too.

[Double Trouble]

Would love to go to Ashtons, but there's something else I have to attend...

PRINCE CONCERT

Not that I'm excited or anything.

Are you taking up residence in the O2 arena or something? If you're seeing Prince on the Friday, there's no excuse for not turning up at Slinky's on the Saturday, and it's not exactly far away either!

Well...I see your point, but I'm planning on marrying Prince on the Saturday.

I've got it all set out...when I throw my trollies at him on Friday, he will look up at me (either through the leg holes if said trollies or after he has removed them from his head), fall in love and we will live happily ever after.

If my plan fails, I'll see you at Slinky's

Well I suggest you book a couple ticket. If plan A works, you can bring him along and have a ready-made wedding reception there.

If it fails, then plan B - bring Gav!

Depends if you're wearing your Bridget's or not.

I don't mind being second choice in this sort of situation.
See you at Slinkys.

I think ( Sorry I know) that CJ is holding a Mariachi event in Edinburgh that weekend,

And Franck is running one of his workshop weekends in Kirriemuir.

Can't afford the second this time - so might make the first - I'll finally get to terrorise the Edinburgers

[Sparkles]

I'll be at Slinky's so I'll see you all there.
Not sure about Ashton's on the friday yet, so will vote when I have more info

[HelenB]

I'm going to be on holiday instead (but for missing Slinky's)

At least I'll have the extended Utopia at Ashton's on the 7th to make up for it

[Yliander]

looks like I'm heading North that weekend - bring it on Edinburgh!!

[CJ]

Bring it on, we shall!!

Would a kindly moderator please add Mariachi on Sat night and tea dance Sun afternoon, both in Edinburgh, please??

Thank you.

Oh, and no guessing where I'll be!!

[David Bailey]

I've changed the title of the thread, as it's now about more than just Slinky's.

[straycat]

On the Friday, it's Manchester for me - K's Jook Joint - fantastic blues nights are just too few and far between to be missed.

(Any mods fancy adding it?)

[Wobbly Dave]

Off to see Franck in Kirrie! Can't wait.

[whitetiger1518]

Right I have made my choice - I have booked the third and fourth of september off work, so I will come to Edinburgh.

See you then CJ

And terrorise the passport waving foreigners from the adjoining landmass to the south. Of which I'll be one........ suitably practiced (worn out) from the Mariachi the weekend before.

Sound very interesting, just googled it and I see Don is involved, I know Don since my early years of dancing. Does everyone know each other - just a bit anxious if I were to come on my own.
