    VLV Camber 2011

    What I missed most at Southport was the usual forum social. I know times move on, and the forum Barbee has gone - and even the forum get together in the blues room

    So............ weather forcast I heard is good, so what is planned for Camber ?

    Space Hoppers ?
    Slippery Slide ?
    Water Guns ?

    Meeting place (as usual) downstairs, by the stage (bar side)

    Pub Quiz on Sunday

    Don't forget your swing gear for the swing hour (90mins really)

    Ohhh.......... and will there be footie on the pub TV on Saturday ?

    Yes the last Southport did not have the normal social feel.

    I'll be there for the quiz on Saturday (don't always make it out of bed in time for the Sunday quiz )

    I'll definitely be in the blues room

    I thought the Swing 'Hour' was 'downstairs' as it was last year (pub to small)

    I am really excited to have my three boys with me at Camber and I thank Mike for allowing this to happen, and as said on a previous thread, these young lads are our future, I really hope they enjoy it and continue dancing after the weekend.

    (BTW Jack aka cgull, is already a competant dancer, I was talking about my grandsons)

    I believe the Swingers Hour is downstairs, with more room, so I'm definitely bringing my Twirly Dress and so is Ali

    As far as I can see from the schedule it is in the pub (which is downstairs).

    It may have been in the chill out room at some point in the past, but there is limited afternoon freestyle time nowadays in the chill out room.


    The good thing is that the late afternoon class range there looks significantly improved


    In the future, I don't know if swingers are like westies but the hurricane room has a lot of space.

    A swing class there before an hour of freestyle (which could replace a single masterclass might work well).

    There is a strictly jive class (semi ballroom jive I believe) upstairs an hour and a half before the hour, but having them in the same room and the room having plenty of space would be an advantage.

    pub .....downstairs ??????? You have to go 'up' from the Cyclone Zone
    When was the last time you went Camber

    However, how disappointing. I thought it would be in the Cyclone Dance Zone, it was last year, it is so popular so there is lots of room to dance there. AND ............ it is only on on Sunday !

    I really don't like dancing in the pub, the dance area is far too small and you feel as if you are 'performing'


    • SUNDAY
    • The Boudoir (Which is the pub)
    • Swingers Hour (Mike)
    • Swing Freestyle 3.30-5pm

    Why not check your dictionary.

    Popularity is relative. A better venue always makes less popular activities more popular.

    I don't think many people are really into it, though some people really like it and it may be getting more popular.

    That it is disappointing - does reduce variety a bit which is generally a bad thing.

    Even the Tango people are only down to 2 milongas.

    Would you be saying the same if the Milonga was in the pub ??? (which personally I think it is more suited)

    Same as Southport, I believe. That seems to be the default level.

    Is the schedule online?

    The pub in Camber? The one with 10 square inches of dance space?

    I don't think Tango would work in the pub at all but not so much to do with the space, as I think Lindy and Tango both need a lot but Tango music in the PUB ... heaven forbid, it'll kill the atmosphere dead!

    I'm not really into dancing myself during swingers hour but I really enjoy watching others and I like the party feel created in the pub

    Yes, isn't that the right amount of space you'd find in a sleazy sexy tango type nightclub ???
