LEF Summer Ball - 'Bond Bash 2008' !

Postby Bibs - LEF » Mon 01.10.2007, 23:04

Hey LEC'ers.

I'm thinking of organising a huge summer ball next year and we'd be honoured to have you guys along for the laughs. Please visit the thread of LEF and offer your opinions if you wish. :)

Off course, you could always set up your own account (It's free, Gary, don't worry!) :wink:

But to quote the advert:-

Dinner suit £30 (charity shop)
Evening dress (must be one in there somewhere - you've got everything else!)
Tickets ???
Fuel (Elans are cheap to run)
Drink (okay, that'll probably be a fair bit!)

Seeing the look on their faces when the Elan drives past them - Priceless :-D

posted interest on LEF. Frankly Dee has put up with the freezing cold and pi55in rain at LEC events, as well as all you lot :lol: . This will be a good treat for her.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Absolutely! Bib's and Laura wanted an event where the ladies can dress up and chat rather than blokes sitting around talking Bollicks!

Thinking of a Bond theme so could be really good if the ladies come as Ursula Andress!

Rent a Tux, it's cheap.....am looking for a pink one right now! :-D

Nope, even worse. At Bedford their tent was within the 50 yard "no mans land" that is my snore radius, with hilarious consequences (the swine). :roll:

Paul do we have a date yet.... added my interest to the Esprit Forum.

Wifey and I would love to do a black tie event - it's been a while.

There are a few pics of the possible venue in this thread on LEF

http://www.lotusespritforum.com/forums/ ... opic=12849

Also, to get an idea of numbers if you can vote in the thread if you intend to attend that would be a great help.

Thanks folks :D

What sort of callender do you use?

October aint Summer :-D

Still, I'd like to come anyway, and have admitted my interest in the appropriate place :smt023
