Jack Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Folks - I have been asked for to lay on a bash on the Saturday evening of A&£ 2012 - a 40's dance. The Corn Exchange here in Dorchester used to hold 40's dances for the 'Yanks' - before I pull the trigger on this - is this something that would be of interest to you?

Degsy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think you've got more than enough on your plate without commiting to something that could potentially cost a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Scott Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think Degsy is right , it will take a lot of organising and will probaly lose money , Adrian B had discussed with me about having a beer tent at the camp site which we thought would be a good place to socialize and meet fellow forum members over a pint ,it could be run on a bring a bottle type affair , if ever one brought a pack of fosters , wine etc or what ever they drunk it wouldnt have any financial impact on A&E etc , only my thoughts , it would be intresting to see what other members thought ???

rosie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 We probably wouldn't go to be honest. The boys wouldn't really like it, don't think it's the cubes cup of tea and I will be well on my way to being tired and emotional!!!!

rosie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I also agree with Degsy and Adrian S to. You have enough on your plate Jack, you want to enjoy the event as well not permanently fretting about stuff! Just as an idea, our tent is fairly big and we could open our tent for the evening? Bring your own drink, I could supply snacks if wanted. Does someone have a portable sound system?

I agree, this would be my choice too, going into Dorchester would tend break up the party! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ives Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 jack after the talk we had the other day why not use the mess tent as a dance/beer hall in the evening because if big enougth then would be worth putting up your big tent and im sure if i can get 1 of my team to bring his music it might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmac Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Its probably a good idea that we all stay around the £100,000s of pound worth of historic equipment in a field rather than all bug~er off and leave it to its own devices. I'm not bringing the dogs in 2012 so security will be well reduced :undecided: Seriously, a beer tent (for the sake of a better term) would be a good idea, a focul point, that is one thing that was lacking last time.....and while I am on the subject of gatherings, if I am not in the group photo this time there will be trouble Jack. :angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Staying on-site is ok for me, a small fire maybe? (same site as before?). I can also bring my MP gear (maybe Jamie too?) and look dangerous. Maybe even arrest a somebody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
