Great thread idea Lory.
Mrs Par and I are on a current Weekender binge
We are averaging one every 4 weeks which started in January and will continue until June.
So far Storm has been best for us out of the three we have done (Bognor Scarborough and Storm).
We also really enjoyed Scarborough but for different reasons.
I won't mention Bognor I've said it all elsewhere.
We probably wouldn't have planned so many weekenders had we not had the good fortune to win 2 and half of them.
Whats important when booking a weekender?
Definitely lots of friends/forumites/good dancers.
Music and great DJs
Gender balancing is also of growing importance as I hate seeing so many woman standing out waiting and likewise I hate the scrummage at the side of the dancefloor everytime a track ends.
Daytime dancing in a civilised environ is becoming more and more an issue as I do not do many workshops.
A good dance floor also makes a weekender better
Good organisation makes a weekend. Easy booking in/ accessible organisers who touble shoot/ it does what it says on the tin agendas/timetables
I feel the quality levels are rising and am looking forward to Rockbottoms on the Isle of Wight in 2 weeks, not so sure about Franco's Camber in May and can't wait till June....aahhhh....SOUTHPORT!
If I was to describe Mrs Par and I in relation to weekenders I would have to describe us as "FREESTYLE JUNKIES!"
But we also like a good laugh too ..
