Residents of the caravan siteand regulars at
The Ferryman Inn are reported to be still in shock from the invasion at the
week-end of our reliably demented membership’s attempt at - AN
INDOOR BEACH PARTY??
It seemed to be made up of many types of holiday, judging by the variation
in outfits worn by suspect individuals. There were those dressed in kit direct
from SOUTH PACIFIC - Some from BUTLIN’S - others straight from a VICTORIAN
drama – some nugget, who said he owned the beach!, and tried to charge for
deck chairs. MAJORCA figured heavily in some areas and we even had a gnome
from the NORTH-EAST dressed as a BEACH BUM !( who nearly lost his shorts!)
I can’t find the fella who kicked sand in my face!
Some made no attempt to disguise their showbiz skills by wearing anything outrageous enough to catch the eye. This, coupled with the hall decked out with inflatable palm trees, parrots, & “flying” sharks??, made for one gloriously mad night for all.
Each and everyone made the effort, with our Commodore and First Lady greeting people as they entered the hall and adorning them with a garland for the occasion.
Once people stopped laughing at the fashion statements, we sat in the sand for a plate of barbecued refreshment before the beach bars took over.
The entertainment for the night was provided by “RED WINE” (most appropriate ) From BANBURY-ON-SEA. They played for us at last years POSH DO and were exactly what was required for this event, going right through till midnight.
Not unusually, beverages of all types, fuelled the dance floor and strange beach games were being tried out:-
DANCE FLOOR SURFING – ON A LILO!!
Where did that one come from? Another triumph for the club I think.
Many thanks to all the organising
beachmasters, life guards, and beach bums in general!
