christmas party

Been thinking and do you remember the gig you did with Mike nova, Dean Mac etc that time? That seemed like a really good venue. It was big enough, child friendly and had cheap booze. How much do they normally charge for there Pete do you know? Do you think it would be a good venue for our xmas do?



Dont forget these are just ideas, anything you guys could suggest would be fab! I don’t mind doin the posters and tickets etc. Plus we need to sort out about how many ETAs being on. I think there should be a limit otherwise it will get crazy. Plus is it going to be a one day or two day event? Also it would be nice this year for the ETAs to get paid change, what do you guys think? I think the more we sort out here before we put it live on the forum the better. Then we are a united front. Lol! xx

if you like i can give the club a ring and find out if they have any dates available in december let me know

Yeh sounds good to me Pete. Some ETAs may be busy in Dec like Essie says so maybe its worth finding out the last week in Nov like we did last year too. Fanx hun x

i have called the club they are booked up for nov / dec

O.M.G. SUCH BLASTFERMY 1OR A 2 DAY EVENT I WAS THINKIN MORE LIKE 3 JUST TO SOUND SELFISH FOR A MO PERSONALLY I THINK ITS A SHAME THAT DAVE & DAWNS IS OUT PURLY CAUSE THE FACILITYS ARE PERFECT (ELVIS THEMED HOTEL, SELF CONTAINED KARAOKE, & MOST INPORTANT A LATE LATE, DISGRACEFULLY LATE BAR .. I KNOW ITS NOT THE RITZ BUT IT WAS JUST SOMWHERE FOR MOST OF US TO PUT OUR HEADS DOWN FOR LITERALLY AN HOUR.. ITS JUST A SHAME THAT DAVE SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER AT TIMES) ANYWAY FOR ME AS MOST OF YOU KNOW ME I'M A KITCHEN FITTER BY DAY AN AT OUR GETTOGETHERS CAN ONLY COME LATE DUE TO WORK & MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOLING COMMITMENTS SO B/POOL & THAT TYPE OF AREA IS PERFECT BUT AS I SAID I'M NOT BOTHERED & WILL TRAVEL ANYWEAR BUT I THINK A 2 DAY MINIMUM IS REQ & AS LONG AS WERE ALL IN THE SAME DIGS WITH A LATE BAR

would anyone be interested in the brentwood wales

Gary with ref to daves place , everytime we have done a event there has been problems , first time he fell out with the venue and it was nearly cancelled at the last minute , then the sound man walked out , second event he didn't want to let us use a square table for andys equipment and got a right nark on expecting i to fit on a small table , then on top of that the venue had a sound limitor .... Not to mention on both events he did bollock all to get people there if it wasn't for our own people we would have had nothing at all , both which was fundraisers ..... If its just a piss up you want then thats fine if you want to put a show on then i can't see it working with dave in it lol , Oh almost forgot he wanted to cancel the last event if kevin king turned up as well , all he is interested in is filling his hotel sorry b&b up ...

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT AS I WAS THINKING PORTCAWL EARLYER OR A HAVEN SITE SOMWHERE OR A SELF COTAINED FAMILY RUN HOTEL OR CARAVAN SITE. BUT YEAH I'M ALL FOR THE BRENTWOOD YOU GET A LATE BAR BUT SEEIN AS ITS SUCH A LONG WAY, COULD WE NOT GO FRI,SAT, SUN GO HOME MON..????????????????????? (THE ONLY THING IS BE PREPAIRED FOR A CERTAN E.T.A. ON HERE TO MOAN AS HE'S ANTY PORTHCAWL)

YES I ALREADY KNOW THIS AS I SAID SHAME HE HAS A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER I WAS'NT SUGGESTING WE GO THERE JUST SOMWHERE SIMALLER

Well the brentwood is out for us its like Distance: 271.43 miles, about 5 hours

It would be unfair for us to drag ebony all that way, so sorry guys but its a no for me and lorna ....

Paul.

anything wrong with blackpool ?

ON A PERSONAL NOTE BLACKPOOL IS IDEAL FOR ME,BUT I DONT THINK ITS PRACTICLE DUE TO DAVE(ROCK&ROLL REBEL)BUT I DO THINK WE NEED A SEASIDE RESORT AS THIS PROVIDES ALL THE FACILLITYS WE WANT

BRIGHTON, BOURMOUTH,SCARBROUGH,SKEGGNESS,RYHL,WHITTLEY BAY,MORCOMBE,WORTHING. MABYE SCOTLAND(MIGHT BE A BIT FAR THOUGH)..???????????? ONCE WE'VE CHOSE SOMEWHERE WE COULD CONTCT THE LOCAL TOURIST BOARD FOR HELP IN FINDING DIGS & PROMOTING ANY GIG WE WOULD BE DOING

We could stay in Paul's summer house .

I think no matter where we pick people are going to moan. What about where we went a couple of weeks ago with Dave Graceland. I would be happy to make buttys but not sure if there are hotels near by. I think a caravan park or them ones where they have wooded accomodation .

ilike the idea of a caravan/log cabbin park also..but what ever the outcome i think i agree with lorny that we should sort it here beforewe go live with it

Have we got any ideas on Christmas. Been looking about but as I only know how to get to work my sense of direction is rubbish. Every where I picked seem to be miles away:lol!: . At the end of the day if people moan let them or they can always help out organising it. Andy is doing another event in Liverpool in December that might be an idea.

HAVE BEEN GIVING THIS SUBJECT HUGE THOUGHT RECENTLY & SCOURING THE INTERNET MOST NIGHT'S BUT TO NOT MUCH AVAIL.. CAUSE AS YOU ALLKNOW I LOVES A TIPPLE OR TO & EXTREMELY LOVE OUR GET TOGETHERS. SO WHAT IDEA I DID COME UP WITH WAS INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A HOTEL TO STAY AT & A SEPERATE VENUE TO GIG AT & THE FACTTHAT WE ALL LIVE TO FAR AWAY FROM POSSIBILITYS TO HELP & OVERSEE WITH THE PROMOTION FOR THE EVENT PERHAPS WE SHOULD GET A HOTEL THAT CAN DO BOTH MY RESONING FOR THIS WOULD BE:- 1.THAT WE WOULD TAKE UP MOST OF THE ALLOCATION OF THE HOTEL THEN THEY COULD LEASE THE REST, 2. IT WOULD KEEP THE OVERHEADS OF ROOM RENTAL DOWN, WE COULD MAKE IT A 24/3 EVENT WITH SOMTHING GOING ON ALL DAY EVERY DAY IE SHOWCASES, ELVIS MOVIES, DICCO & KARAOKE ETC, 3.THE P.A. SYSTEM COULD BE LEFT UP ALL WEEKEND. 4.THIS GIVES US AN EXCUSE FOR NOT USING DAVE AN DAWNS & KEEPS THE PIECE SO TO SPEAK

THERE IS A HOTEL THAT IS SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN DAVE & DAWNS THAT I USED TO USE WHEN WE WENT TO THE ULTIMATE ELVIS EXPERIANCE AT THE WINTER GARDENS IN BLACKPOOL THAT IS CALLED THE GROSVENOR ON ALBERT ROAD THAT HAS A SEPERATE DINING ROOM AND CABERET LOUNGE. (WILL TRY TO PUT UP LINK FOR YOU TO SEE IT) NOT SURE IF IT IS QUITE BIG ENOUGH FOR WHAT WE WANT BUT IT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WERE IM COMING FROM

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK..??????????

Sounds good to me, what about the Queens or is that one expensive.

I WAS THINKING SOMTHING LIKE THIS MABYE BUT SLIGHTLY BIGGER

you will have to count us out guy's as i am finding increasingly dificult to get the time off from work so where ever you go have a blast and take plenty of pic's

FOR ME UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD BE PERFECT BUT AS ONE OF MY FELLOW E.T.A,S & A VERY GOOD FRIEND HAS A WEEKLY SHOW THERE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON & RIGHT UP TO CHRISTMAS SO FOR ME WOULD BE A NO ( NOT BEING FUNNY BUT DONT WANT TO STAMP ON OTHER PEOPLES TOES)

Looks good to me, would we hire the hall to ourselves as a browser party, stops any numpties coming in.

That looks good Garry and totally agree with you regards to the 2 in 1 - digs and gigs lol! Would it be worth us emailin them? Maybe even some of us meetin up and going there to have a look round and see what they can offer? If not then maybe we should consider the Newcastle area again?
