Just after some advice on what to take with me? Its going to be my first weekender and I am really looking forward to it.
1) Your most comfortable dance shoes.

Thanks on a more girly note, dresses, skirts or jeans and trousers?
Here is Lory's weekender packing list, although I'm not sure it answers the jeans/ skirts/ etc. question.
Love dance, will travel
Some other things:-
- Mobile number of the person who made the booking
- Pen - they always seem to get half-inched from the check-in area.
- Scouring pad - be different and clean the cooking stuff you use.
- Safety pins
- Dance bag (Not black. Everyone has black. The room's nearly blacked-out and under tables is even blacker. At the end of the night, with your eyes barely open, you and 100s of other people will all simultaneously want to find their black dance bags. Resist the Dark Side. Black is not the new black)
Crikey does Lory turn up in a transit van to fit all the lot in
Thanks firstmove the tip about the black dance bag is great, it also give me an excuse to go shopping for a suitable bag
What do you normally dance in? I generally go for comfort in daytime (so often trousers, can't dance in jeans) and glam up a bit at night. You will see women wearing everything from jeans and t-shirt at night, to outfits that cover very little, defy the laws of gravity and have run through an explosion in a sequin shop... Wear whatever you are comfortable in, but if you have a swirly skirt, bring some big pants!
Cooking stuff, a tin of M&S lamb stew, tins of soup, pot noodles, loaf of bread pack of ham, cheese, marg and milk from the Tesco's at Altcar. Coffee, Tea, loads of cloths, flip flops to keep your feet clean when you walk on the carpet in your challet. On a girly note I like to dress in a tight leather miniskirt and wear thigh length boots when I dance, I feel it goes with my beard.
Your favourite pillow and a duvet or sleeping bag if (like me) you feel the cold/damp. If bringing food remember there won't be a microwave unless you're in club accommodation. Having now got fed up with lack of glasses in the chalets, or the size of them if there are any, we also bring plastic throwaway 'glasses' for the wine (saves on washing up too - oh yes, don't forget the washing up liquid!)
Twirly is right about the clothes, you'll see all kinds of outfits, including some you'll wish you hadn't seen, so go for comfy wear during the day, dress up at night.
