    Party Weekender Warmwell Nov06

    Anyone going to this ? First weekend in November

    Party Weekend is different from the Ceroc and JiveTime weekends as there are live bands and they allow children

    I have just booked with my mate Shirley and a newbie dancer named Patrick

    I haven't been to Warmwell for about 3 years so looking forward to it !

    And there's much less dancing, and a lot more of the drinking & party atmosphere (having said that, I did enjoy the ones I went on - oh, about 5 years ago now!).

    very true, the dancing finishes at 2am and people go back the their detached log cabins (yes they are fab) to carry on partying .................

    But the main difference is that you can take children - and there are talent contests / Karioke and fancy dress competitions which all the children can and do join in as well as the children can join in the classes (mostly in a separate area) if they wish

    The strange thing is that they don't seem to get in the way on the dance floor - must be because there are lots of other things they can do (including roller skating and the dry sky slope etc) and they are worn out in the evening so go to bed OR maybe they are having their own parties

    Totally agree, 1 dancefloor with 20% Rock n Roll & 10% lindy plus bands so you tend to sit out more and chat/drink.

    Yup! I cut my weekender teeth at Warmwell in 1999, and have been to 12 PWs now . I love the place!

    Sadly, a combination of unemployment and enforced house move, means I won't be there this time

    If all goes well though, I'll be back next March.

    Have fun you lucky b8ggers!

    Way cool have done 12 PW from 1999, where i cut my teeth also, how surreal. We must know each others faces.
    I enjoy the dancing and do some of the party dances! I won the race in a "dingy" using the sympathy vote last March, Oh what.

    Recent improvements is large screen from bar area to dancefloor from last March , so much better, also discussion about moving smokers further away from dancing area too . Badger Darren, he listens and we may get a bit more fresh air.

    forgot about the smoking problem ..................

    Mind you now Leanne has given up smoking Darren might be more inclined to help the non-smokers

    Have we met Dynamo ?

    Hi

    be good to see you there Detomo. This is My 11th, know there must be loads more forum members going, just never knew most of them till now!!

    If you need more space or have more friends wanting to come then I have 2 Challets both Silver 6, though the second has only 1 person and 5 spaces, so chat or PM me and I may be able to help us both

    Ah Exeter, then you must Know Nelson & Karen, thoroughly reccomend their classes.

    Thanks Dynamo

    I remember someone asking me if there were any spaces at Warmwell, but I'll have to concentrate really hard to remember who.

    My first lesson was taught by those two, and bar weekenders etc, all my lessons since. There aren't many other teachers in Exeter .

    Are there normally bands every night at Warmwell? My memories of March are fairly vague.

    I still have 1 guy space and a twin room left if you remember, but no worries if you dont, still good to meet you

    My first lesson was taught by those two, and bar weekenders etc, all my lessons since. There aren't many other teachers in Exeter .
    Good teachers with a wide repetoire, so if I had to chhose, would have them over a couple of lesser known teachers

    Are there normally bands every night at Warmwell? My memories of March are fairly vague.
    Friday nite has 1 band I think
    Saturday lunchtime as 1 band
    Saturday nite has 2 bands
    Sunday lunch has 1 band
    Sunday eve I think is 1 or 2 bands

    All play for about 1 hour, with a range of speeds from RocknRoll to a slow blues speed.

    Dont miss Earl Jackson, A Real peronality, excellent entertainer and a good bunch of musicians.
    But all the bands are good and tried here over many years

    Look forward to meeting you

    Yes I believe the Jive Aces are back again this time. I love their set as well - a must watch for me.

    But to answer the original question, I do Warmwell both times every year and have been going since 2004 I think. I've got all the DVDs so far as well.

    Will be there at the Nov 2006 one. We've just finalised all our parties our Exeter group is gonna have in our chalets. Its gonna be fun.
