[Carms]

Just wanted to say a big thanks for inviting us along and sharing this very special weekend along with some really good chums , and fabulous Dj's

Clare and Ian do this every year and it has become a favoured event by many as it is sooooooooo chilled out ,one of those do's where you are swamped with Dj's.

The hotel has undergone a make over and its been updated to a very high specifican , very impressed with suite incuding private terrace , not one but two tv's ! and a massive bed to get lost in.

Lovely to make new friends as well as see old ones.

Pictures say it all , only trouble is I can't work out how to get them into my album ?

Last but not least lets mention the little man of the moment young Elliot aged 8 years ! who gave us all so much joy Djing in the back room in the afternoon, and showing us his dance moves dancing to his all time fave Shirley Ellis Soul time...... His dad must be so proud of him.

Yes Paul , we started at 2pm , by 8pm I was feeling at the end it ,and that massive bed was very tempting me being a sleepy person.

I had every intention of just having an hour but once between the sheets I couldn't get up ! .
velcro bed or what

Nige being the soul trooper carried on for the both of us to around 3am . Sorry I missed you . It was a superb day I enjoyed every minute I was there.

Pictures now up in my 2011 album ... going to see if I can Elliots video up next where he dances to his last play .

Elliot and the slip mats say it all
super young lad and Paul Donelly agree the music in the back was superb
but just not enough people to facilitate the requirments,
so to all who did not attend be there next year to support and help raise funds with Ian and Clare and all the other
peple who give of their time equipment and knowledge
thanks guys twas a great day,

Hello All

What can I say that has'nt already been said. Myself and Clare can't thank enough everyone who contributed in every which way to a worthwhile cause in memory of our much loved friend Alison Parkinson.

As ever the Dj's did us proud with knockout spots all day and night, thank you boys and girls. Big thank you to Dougie Hall and Carl Piper for supplying the excellent sound systems as they do every year. Our thanks to Rob and Ann proprietors of "Twin Oaks" who allow us total use of the recently refurbished fabulous venue every year and donate heavily as well.

Many thanks to everyone for their cash and prize donations some of which are still coming in, among them one or two eye popping donations.

The weather behaved for us which is always a bonus, so all that remains for me to say is thank you for being there, thank you for giving and most important of all thank you for blessing us with your friendship.

Love and best wishes to you all.

Ian and Clare G

I had a wonderful time at the Twin Oaks again this year.

Thanks (as always) go to Ian and Clare for the invite, (both whom I'm proud to call true friends). They both put so much effort into this event every year, and the fund raising, as everyone knows. (it shows too! So many happy faces).

Saw a bit too much of Yocki (as did everyone at around 2.30am).

I enjoyed spinning a few tunes in both rooms.

I won the SAM EVANS BINGO too! (and a raffle prize) how lucky am I

Wishing Ian and Clare a very Happy Wedding Anniversary, (you both deserve all respect you have from your many friends).

Love and best wishes to the both of you.

Congratulations once again to Ian and Clare for their continued fund raising and to those who continue to give support for this annual event. Our travelling group were gutted not to be able to make it this year, unfortunately work interfered with our best intentions to be there. I'll catch with you soon guys.

Sounds like we missed another hot event.
