WASH 2009

Category: Events — Christine @ 12:50 am

Our numbers were this year were the absolute minimum we can run with, but what amazed me was the atmosphere was  as good as ever, and how many ‘WASH virgins’ there were. This hopefully will encourage those who didn’t come this year thinking it wouldn’t be the same, to return next year.

 My Highlights:

    

  • 
Winning the quiz!!!!!!!
    • 

  • 
Half boarding (a dammed good excuse to have a bit of banter at breakfast)
    • 

  • 
Lara's and Chris's Saturday party
    • 

  • 
Friday night Fuzzy Ducking
    • 

  • 
Tight Fit doing Kareoke in our kitchen until about 5 a.m.
    •

 At this year’s WASH the main entertainment of Sunday evening was Tight Fit, they went down well with most Plussers on the dance floor and a couple on stage, but the real highlight was that the band turned up at our chalet Karaoke party afterwards. Everyone thought it was really cool and the real fun part was in the kitchen where Denise Waterman started a singing game.

Back to the more traditional dates next year so at the end of WASH 2009, the next WASH was less than 52 weeks away….and counting!!

WASH 2009

Category: Events — Christine @ 9:44 pm

What an amazing weekend!  I think everyone has said what a great atmosphere there was this year, and we all felt it – there was so much good stuff, some great bands, and of course on Sunday Tight Fit who, whilst (by their own admission) not being the best band musically ever, were certainly the friendliest and most fun.

The themes for the evenings were, on Friday Halloween as it was Friday 13th and even the band dressed up, Saturday was 50’s night with the shown C’mon Everybody, and Tight Fit headed up the 80s themed night on the Sunday.  Daytime activities included aqua aerobics, karaoke, the WASH quiz, some jive lessons from Xavier Navarre in preparation for the 50’s night, and a showing of the film The Boat That Rocked which went down very well - certainly the best film I’ve personally seen for a long time.

Of course the usual caravan parties followed the party nights at the venue, and even the Sunday band joined in – so friendly and happy to pose endlessly for photos with admirers!

With the worry of low bookings this year it seemed to make the weekend even more special than usual and we were all sad that it was over so soon.  Roll on next year
