❌❌❌CANCELLED❌❌❌. New Year at Shrewsbury Showground - 2021/22

Could I just remind people not to call the showground until asked please? Once we have everyone's details, I pass it to Jan so she knows who she will get calls from. I am guessing we will not have a full set of responses until after the weekend.

Thanks to the 10 Funsters who have responded so quickly.

Apologies. I've copied this in from my reply in the announcement thread as most attendees will be watching this thread.

Hi not sure if you received my last posting. Looking forward to meeting many more funsters.

New Years Eve is there any thing planned for that night?

Hi Paul and Ann. colyboy

Apologies..... I don't understand what happed to my original reply. 😥

For the benefit of all attending who have not been before, the rally is 'relaxed' in that anything goes... You can join in with activities or not as suits you.

We organise things every evening. In prior years we have had things like quizzes, jigsaw puzzle night, silly games night, a dart's tournament with a 'Fun' twist organised by one of the Funsters attending. The room should be open most of the time, and tea, coffee etc will be available if people just want to chat, knit, crochet, play board games etc. In the daytime we have been fortunate to have line dancing lessons and ukulele lessons by volunteers with the appropriate skills. No idea what will happen this year as it's largely dependent on attendees.

New Years Eve itself we usually have a Jacob's Table, or Pot Luck where everyone brings something to share. That may have to change if Covid is an issue. Hilary and I usually close the room late afternoon and deck the room out as surprise. Everyone sits down to eat at the same time. Some really dress up and look fabulous, others don't. In previous years we have had a session from a 10 year old Magician, grandson of Wildbill who was brilliant, live music, dancing demonstration and other entertainment by attending Funsters. I am aware that we again have some musicians coming this year but have yet to have any discussions on what folks may or may not want to volunteer.

I bring a lot of sound and lighting gear and can just run the whole evening as a disco. I think those who have attended previously are happy with the sound levels, given the number coming again. I will put another thread out shortly asking if people have any tracks that are special to them so I can do my best to ensure I have them. We celebrate midnight in style and then party on. :party2:🥳 We usually wind up between 2 and 3am.🥱

Please note that that the room is carpeted, so if you are ballroom dancers for example, there is not a lot of slip or room. 💃

It's also worth pointing out that it is upstairs, so those with real mobility issues may need some assistance.

Again in some prior years, Funsters have got together and provided bacon rolls on the next morning for a small charge. Again, as yet there been no discussion about this. We don't want to put people under pressure as we all get a year older every year. I'm also 'quiet' at the moment as I am working on a Halloween event in our village hall complete with a walk through haunted castle. This is to keep the kids from upsetting some older folk in the village who find trick or treat threatening. 👻 We have another couple of months to then organise the rally.

We are always open to suggestions from those attending. Please don't wait to be asked.

It's a 15-20 minute walk into Shrewsbury town.

Hoping this isn't too worrying and helps you both. If you have any further queries, please do ask.
 
Should have added to the what goes on post that there is no bar at the showground, so it's bring your own poison.
