on WASH 2011
Hi all
My God, that was some weekend!
Thank you so much for all those who turned up. Hope the
Committee didn't disgrace itself too much when we found out that Pat was
retiring. We see Plus as one big family and he is very much part of it
for past 8 years.
For those who weren't able to make it this is what you
missed;
Warm accommodation
Clean accommodation
Ducks *(obviously decided that Manor Park is a nicer place to pooh
everywhere than Searles!)
Good, properly home cooked food
More caravan parties
No mud!
Friendly venue staff who don't charge different prices every time you go
to the bar
Vodka Jellies
Pitchers of cocktails
Friday
Whole Lot of Hair' - nicely noisy rock band who really could play
instruments really well and provided lots of head banging material for
those with hair!
Saturday
The inaugural WASH Boat Race as won by Rugby's Paul Hancox in a tense
final with King's Lynn's very own WASH virgin Carolyn Tole.
Elrich McElroy entertained us with his American take on life in
general. Despite being American he ordered fish and chips at the bar!
Dr & The Medics returned after 7 years and many requests to do so from
you out there and were just as good as before. They did their own take
on many classic rock songs and kept the dance floor nice and busy.
Sunday
28 brave (or mental) bodies in varying states of fitness got hot and
sweaty together. The bar staff even got involved in it and gave Lisa,
the lady in charge, hope that the whole worlds bodies haven't fallen
into the disrepute that most of ours has!
Quizgo is a concept based on bingo, blockbusters and a traditional
quiz. Lots of prizes were given out and there was lots of 'walks of
shame', particularly from Mr Brentwood 1945, Chris Porter!
Fully Functional were seen by many who remained on the
Sunday evening, as the stars of the weekend, dancing and singing on
tables harks back to earlier years of WASH. We have been asked by so
many people to see if they could come back on the Saturday night that we
may break our rules about such things and give more of you the
opportunity to see how brilliant they were.
In a couple
of weeks we will be emailing out a little questionnaire to see what you
thought. Please take a few minutes to tell us what you honestly thought
of the weekend. If you didn't attend this year for whatever reason let
us know what will convince you to come and join us again as it is YOUR
weekend.
Paul
