Past Events:
When we did a dance called the "Electric Slide" it was not to our normal
music, instead we did it to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and in the middle of
the song the crypt door opened and the Grim Reaper stepped out and ran around
the stage, into the audience and the dance floor tormenting folk and scaring
people out of their wits!! but still no one knows who it was and at the end of
the dance s/he went back into the crypt and was never seen again!!!

The 2001 Halloween Social
Most of us will agree that Halloween is a very fun day and, as you will see, we
like to make a big deal about it so we had a special social. Mostly every one
came in fancy dress we had witches joined at the hips, skeletons, the Grim
Reaper coming out of a crypt (that John had made), the Devil, a sorceress
(Lynda), a grave stone and even Uncle Fester showed up! It was very, very
exciting every one danced happily and enjoyed them selves thoroughly!
Most of the fun was due to the amazing and life like scenery made by John
and Lynda and the decorations that we had put up earlier on in the day. These
gave a great effect and wonderful atmosphere to the whole evening. Thanks to
every one who took part and helped it wouldn't have happened it wasn't for you!!
The American Extravaganza 2002
The
American Extravaganza 2002 was a big hit and saw people from all around the
globe coming together to have fun and enjoy the long weekend, which was Friday
to Sunday, and I hope every one that went had a good time and a safe journey
home.
The weekend began with every one
arriving at the show ground during the day on Friday. There were a few
options of accommodation: one could stay in a hotel/B&B, a motor
home/caravan or one could stay in a tent, which is what my family and I decided
to do. The first day was a very mixed one, we spent the first few hours setting
up our tents and getting to know our neighbours (by the way, a very big
“Hello!” to Simon and co.). Later on we decided
to go line dancing! It was around 7pmwhen we got into the hall, we danced for ages and ages not even noticing the
time, but alas when the clock struck 11:30pm
(ish) we decided to call it a night and go back to our tents.
On Saturday
morning we had an early start waking up at about 8:15am, and what better way to
be woken up than by the sound of a big Harley Davidson motorcycle revving up
it’s engine?!? After a real camper’s breakfast which- for my family- consisted
of bacon sandwiches, sausages and a cup of tea, we went down to the main hall
to do some more line dancing for about 3 hrs and then went off to one of the
vans for some lunch. We spent over 2 hrs, after lunch, looking at the stalls
where Mum managed to buy some new cowboy boots and I –keeping in the western
theme- brought the Alice Cooper box set (yippee for me!!). We decided to go
back to our camp for dinner and to get changed for ‘one wild night’ dancing! We
arrived at the dance hall at about 7pm
and, after struggling to find a seat, settled down for a fantastic night
dancing, having fun and meeting new friend. The evening went extremely well,
the live bands) were excellent and we were sorry to see it come to an end
(even thought it was about 12:30am
when it finally finished!).
Sunday was
the last day of the festival, and the morning was spent packing up the camp and
getting ready to go home. We spent the afternoon doing yet more dancing in the
hall (although we were absolutely shattered as you can see from the top picture.).
At about we decided to call
it a day and go home.
I would
like to thank the organizers, and everyone involved, for making the long
weekend possible it was a fantastic weekend and I can hardly wait until next
years!!! So cheers to you all.
