Murder on the dance floor!

December 09, 2004

… In more ways than one. The dancefloor was choc full of flailing arms, congo-ing legs and gyrating hips. There was so little elbow room that a rather disappointed Mick McGeoch was forced to abstain from dancing. Committed groovers were still raving it up into the small hours. Clearly, the dancers were fuelled by the hearty meal and buoyed by the festive spirit. Move over Rio.

I think its fair to say that the Les Croups Christmas do was a roaring success. So on behalf of all those that left Churchills last night with a full stomach, a slightly dizzy head and very tired legs, I'd like to thank Clare for all of her efforts in organising a superb event and thank the ladies for introducing us to an excellent venue.

P.S. If you liked last night, you can do it all again on Friday (7.30pm, Chapter art centre, Canton, all welcome.)

To show how inclusive are, we even photographed the doormen. None of them looked at all like runners!

Thanks Clare for ogranising a great night Posted by: Phillip at December 9, 2004 12:08 PM
Dave, you are starting to gain a reputation as a member of the'paparazzi'! I fully expect to see you straddling a vespa and pursuing drunken celebs (and runners) out of glitzy nightclubs and into waiting limosuines. Posted by: Simon at December 9, 2004 03:34 PM
Brilliant, Clare! That was the best Croups night out in ages.I'm just glad I decided to take the rest of the week off work to recover. If this is an indication of what the newly formed Social Committee can do, then our silver anniversary celebrations for 2005 are in safe hands. Posted by: mick at December 9, 2004 04:51 PM
What I learnt from last night's do was that fast runners are rubbish dancers. Well done Clare for giving John Crofts and myself the chance to throw party poppers and paper darts (folded up menus) at unsuspecting club members. Well done Heidi for winning the endurance dancing in a time of around 3 hours. Posted by: David Coles at December 9, 2004 10:14 PM
I was only referring to certain male runners on the dance floor in need of dance lessons - the ladies of course were all superb! It was all good fun anyway, and great to see so many there. Posted by: David Coles at December 10, 2004 06:53 AM
Dave, as most people would regard you as a fast runner, can we presume you are included in the 'rubbish dancer' category? Personally I can't remember. I was either facing the wrong way or involved in some pretty ropey dancing myself! Posted by: Simon at December 10, 2004 10:34 AM
Simon - I'm the exception to the rule - I'm not a fast runner, and I'm a rubbish dancer. I am however very good at throwing party poppers. Posted by: David Coles at December 10, 2004 11:22 AM
