    Southport 2006 - any tips?

    Despite dancing for over five years, Mr Bop and I are goig to our first weekender at Southport next weekend.

    We got the tickets yesterday and are really excited, but any advice from those who have been many times before?

    Anything we should take with us?
    Anything we MUST do?
    Anything to avoid?
    Anything else?

    Thanks
    Bop

    THIS is an old packing list for Camber but I think most of it still applies for Southport, as the chalets are more or less identical

    Lory's list is brilliant - couple of extras

    Soap
    old towel as a shower mat
    Rubber stick-on-the-taps shower, if you have a budget/bath chalet
    extra booze and food for the barbie
    Rooring 20's outfit for Saturday night
