I know some non dancers who were talking about going to Blaze, mainly cos they know some people going and they like the fact they can go out somewhere, chill out to some nice music and not be surrounded by lots of people getting drunk!
I’m not suggesting its just non dancers that tend to get totally pissed , my partner had a nasty incident from a forumite who was clearly pissed/stoned at Southport but should weekenders be just for dancers or for anyone ?
If your a non dancer surely your more likely to get bored ??
I finding the atmosphere changing at weekender very gradually and slowly
3yrs ago it would be highly amusing if you dance with someone drunk/anti social now its more common
Is it just reflecting changes in society?
I appreciate you cant vet people but why would you want a hen night at dance weekender ? Will we need more involvement from security.
The one thing ive always loved about dancing is the feeling no one wants to put a glass in your face i hope that doesnt change

I hope so S38 and I belive the organisers realy need to be vigulent over this, and stamp on it before it get worse.
The girls that were having a go at me on the dance floor were screaming so badly I did think this is going to kick off, then what do I do ? I don't play victim very well, and i'm more than caperble of defending myself, but your right 3 on to 1 and with glasses around, I know exacterly where it would have gone.
Pearsonally I thing the girls should have been asked to leave or at least, an investagation carried out and questioned.
This was not the only drunken insident over the weekend, as Lorry posted on the aftermath thread.
Why should we stand by and let this happen
let stamp it out now
I agree that this is something that might need to be addressed. But not sure how to go about it...
Funny thing is I was only saying to someone a few days ago about the fact that at MJ weekenders you have hundreds of people, bars open all night and you rarely see anyone drunk. I have seen it at salsa clubs, people who don't dance much, go to have a drink and a bit of a dance - but it ends up with dance floor accidents, drinks spilled all over the dance floor etc...
I think that these were probably a few isolated incidents at Storm but I really wouldn't like to see it as a change in pattern.
A tough one for the organisers to enforce, other than going and asking people who are being dangerous to leave the dance area.
I don't see that you can stop people from getting drunk at a weekender. It's not something new either, most weekenders I've been to I've seen drunk people. (I've even been guilty of it myself). I think maybe it was just noticeable because of the hen party incident this time. I'm sure that the famous 'after parties' wouldn't be quite so talked about had everyone been sipping tea at them either. Do you really think it's necessary for an all out war on drunks because of an isolated incident? (or two)
Methinks that a word was needed in the right ear, or the left, ie one of the organizers.
Then it is up to them how they handle the situation.
I have learn,t there is a right and a wrong way to adress these kind of issues.
If the organiser then does nothing then by all means bring it to the attention of the forum, but let them have a chance 1st.
This was a hard and regretful lesson that I was taught by Lindy Loo and Rocky after my horrid post on customer service at Ashtons.
If a short (ish), slim (ish), Welsh man can learn a lesson....Anyone can.
Bring the problem to the attention of the organizers and let them deal with it.
But this type of behaviour is unacceptable, anything which makes us as dancers uncomfortable needs sorting.
Non dancers...They is not right...Bloody Muggles.

On the other hand if these girls had waded into Fletch most of the forum would have waded into them with me right in the front row.

The issue isn't really getting drunk at a weekender. Its more people getting drunk, being on or around the dance floor, and possibly getting a bit agressive.
People drinking and opting then not to dance, or drinking in the chalet, that's different and does not in any way detract from other people's dance experience.
Being drunk and dancing with people, risking injury, spilling drinks all over the dance floor - this just spoils things for everyone else.
Hold on one momoment, firstly i'm not against drunks or waging war on them, however, i'm not paying my money to be called all the 'F' ing bithches, and to be asked to you want a smack, etc, just for asking them to step on the carpet, flippin hec I didn't even say get off the dance floor, I just said lark about on the carpet.
You should know me by now i'v been to enough after parties, am I a miserable anti drink pop drinking prude ?
I did tell Lindy loo and to be fair she was realy unhappy about it and said it needed sorting, but after telling her and Mike they had enough on there plate without running about after me, I told Mike I was going to tackel them when they were sober and I also told him there recaction, one wasn't sorry at all but ran leaving her mate to handle me alone, who said she was sorry (proberbly a good move at the time)
every one is worth a second chance DTS even me
this is my point
I wonder what the reaction would have been if it had all kicked off ? and I gave them a pasting, would I have been the bad one cos they came of worst even though they started it ? I wonder ?
I don't dance with drunks, but I do say look sorry your a bit to drunk for me so im gong to stop dancing with you please dont take offence i'll catch you tomorrow before you have one and I then walk off, I also look for them the next day, its allways good when the have a nice fat hangover.
I would have text my support as wasn’t there
I don’t care if someone or groups want to get **** face in their room on the beach at 2pm and throw up all day. I don’t care if they lark about or do what ever .Its a weekender and its about fun and I choose to have non stop s** all weekend I will. They can party to 6/8am and if im in Chalet next door tough
What I don’t like is they try to squeeze my friends breast or kiss her on the lips full on and think its fun when pissed etc
The point of thread was ‘is it’ increasing as more and more non dancers attend
The fact that a number of fourmites have already mentioned it within the feed back from STORM suggests its not just now the ‘one off’ ie did you see that silly man falling all over the place
The assumption is many dancer can get **** face but I assume sometimes they will like to dance, non dancer wont
I think you migh be a bit shocked, as Gerry was recently, its not my way now, but old habbits die hard.
I aint no ones 'puch bag'
your a brave man
I don't think they could read or right, they looked like they came from a similar place to me, but hadn't managed to srape themselves out of the gutter.
never thought for one minute that you were but i try to be one of lifes gentlemen and you are certainly one of lifes ladies
I was kind of thinking that way when i wrote it but thought oh well DTS is a lot closer to her than i am so i will probably get away with it lol
