[Simon r]

[Little Em]

guess we will be at Twyford ......

really? that will be unusual!

[Cruella]

OK. As we are all waiting to see where each other is going. Here's a Pro / Con list in my view. This is all heresay for Cheshunt as i've never been before. So feel free to edit if you know differently.

Hipsters / Cheshunt
Not air conditioned / Air conditioned
Really busy floor / Don't know how busy!
Class / DWAS
Good floor / Good floor
Payment required / Free entry
Huge car park / Huge car park
DJ Jon Brett / DJ Robin and Tez
Makeshift bar / Bar
Table if you get there early/ Reserved table for forumites
No tea/coffee/cakes / Tea/coffee/cakes
Distance (For me this is equal) Distance
1am finish / midnight finish

I know which is looking the more attractive venue for me, but without the right people........

[Lory]

Hipsters / Cheshunt

Excellent analogy Cruella

Now, where's everyone going?

.................................................. ....

Hey, I Know, let's ask the Dj's.....

OK boy's, let's hear it, who's tastes will YOU be catering for?

Give us a flavour of what we can look forward too!

[spindr]

Think I'll probably end up at Hipsters -- some friends are wandering along -- and there's an excellent Salsa class / freestyle that I can mix and match with.

Course if I'm knackered I might just end up at GingerJive at Greenham.

Looks like I might be down South (again) this Friday so I am going to join the "waiting to see where everyone is going" queue.
Its not my fault. Im British , queueing is just what I do!!

I have been to both Cheshunt and Hipsters and both are great. I am being slightly swayed by the air conditioning at Cheshunt though. Makes for a much more comfortable night.
If Hipsters is as busy as people say its gonna be mighty toasty

[Sheepman]

I'm fairly sure that i had an email a while back saying that surbiton wcs nights had been stopped over the summer.... don't quote me though..

There was an email saying that, but then there was another saying re-arrangements had been made, so for the weeks that Paul is not available, Cat will be teaching, So I'll probably be at Surbiton, followed by the last hour at BFFF.

I'm also completely undecided

Yes come on DJ's what will you be mostly playing?

60, 70's, Motown, 80's Glam Rock, Fast Lindy ,Rock&Roll, Merengue, Pink Martini, Nu-Tango, Luscious Blues, Slow Latin, Pop, R&B, Slow Swing.....???

Hmmm. Now this has thrown a spanner in the works. We WERE going to BFFF but after having done the superb WCS course with Cat at Beach Boogie we are keen to keep on our roll with this dance. So Surbiton is looking the better option.

The last time we went to BFFF (last month) we found the lessons superb, but the place was so crowded that it was very difficult to actually dance because so much of your concentration is taken up with avoiding being hit or hitting other people. It seems to be the "London problem". Great lessons, great dancers, just no space to get the best out of either.

I think Commis Chef and I may opt for the great WCS lessons at Surbiton then clear off before the crowding spoils the enjoyment of the evening.

Is there any way to change our vote now?

[Lynn]

OK, maybe not actually staying in but not dancing Weather permitting a nice evening walk might be an option, or dinner out somewhere.

[LMC]

Oooooh, I don't know what to do now - if there isn't going to be many people I know at Cheshunt then I might have to change my mind and come to Hipsters...

What the hell, I'm a woman, I'm allowed to be inconsistent

*sits back and awaits developments*

hence why we dont make the effort to go anymore ....
also to many attitudes in one room all trying to out shine each other....
give me the home counties any day

[stewart38]

There is Chesham of course for those that want a early night if there going to Barcelona the next day

[LMC]

*still in indecisive mode*

Hipsters will be an absolute ******d transport-wise - will probably have to leave before the end to catch the train - but currently looks like the favoured option with most of the folks on here?

I might not know anyone at Cheshunt and it only goes on half an hour longer than Chesham (where I always have a fantastic time)

Or I could stay in and do something useful, although I'd have to be careful not to stand underneath the flying pigs...

[Mary]

Still can't decide.

Oh, and Tony is now available to come and to play on Friday.

Deja vu

Cheshunt for me (easy decision, it's free and 30 minutes drive - or less, depending on how much rubber I want to burn down the A10)

Oooooh, I don't know what to do now - if there isn't going to be many people I know at Cheshunt then I might have to change my mind and come to Hipsters...

I use to be indecisive but now Im not so sure

Anyone made there mind up yet

Nope...

I need help from a DJ

[Msfab]

Well, it just has to be Big Fat Friday! Catch up with those people i only ever see one in a blue moon!
Also hoping to bump into (gently) with some of the guys (well one guy really ) I danced with loads at the beach boogie last week!

[Trish]

Bedford - it's closest, and I've not been to a freestyle there before.

Me too - although I've been there lots of times. I always have a really good time there and it's a lovely big room (although sometimes it's still a bit crowded!)

Hope to meet up with you for a dance if I can work out who you are (not even sure if you're male or female actually! - although that doesn't make much difference as I go either way dance-wise!)

[Cruella]

OK i've had enough of all this dilly dallying. I've made a decision. I'm going to Cheshunt. So now you lot can make yours. (i know you're all going to Hipsters now)
Air conditioning has swayed it for me, and also that i've never been before. The last two times i did BFF i didn't like the music (Sorry Jon) and the last time i ended up with whiplash. Although i know this could have happened anywhere, i don't think it helped that i was constantly avoiding elbows, feet etc.
So ZW, Lucy Locket the lift is still available if you are coming to Cheshunt, your decision.
