Inquisition
Recovery
Whilst
it is not unusual to receive thank you emails for parties, the superlative
reviews for this last one were gratifying. Words like “it
rocked!” “best ever” “amazing men!”
“why does that DJ not do Mardi Gras?” We had 197 guys
there which is extraordinary for an Inquisition party. We even had
a queue to get in at one stage and there was knocking on the locked
door up till 7.45 by guys who could not read their invitations or
who did not realise that doors close at 7pm.
Our
thanks to Chris for his amazing invitation card and for Pascal for
featuring in it. Brett D the printing of the bag labels and to Malcolm
for cleaning the Kirk on the Monday after. Phillip for organising
the heater, bringing the gear from the lock up and then returning
it, and getting the towels to the laundry . Will D and Eric supervised
the bags. David N broke a sling due the heavy activity. “What’ll
I do?” he cried as the man was sliding to the floor. The secret
ingredient this time was Tony from Toybox. He did all the production,
set up scaffolding, designed the room, and played incredible music.
The other secret ingredient was the quality of the men invited as
guests. It is not surprising the difference it makes when guys are
discriminate in their judgement as not just invite anyone but only
guys who look good and are friendly, with no attitude.
The
theme was set by Peter C and Richard working over Mark our resident
slave. Dominic is back from England and gave an entertaining pantsdown
speech and ran the sign in desk with the efficiency we have become
accustomed to, along with Paul W, Munjeet, John H and Scott M. Mail
out was done by Kell, Troy and JD Peter C & Mark A, JD and Troy,
Glenn, Raymond, Rob and Shaun and Chris S. Rod printed the labels
and up-dated the website. Thank you especially to Shaun for his
assistance with the data base this party and sending out the emails
and to Peter H who has been updating the information from guys who
have sent in changes of address. Set up was done quickly by Josh,
Paul from Boston, Eric, Richard B, Mark, Shaun, Mikey, Steve Jason
and Darius, who also, with Blair, managed the bar. Clean up Stephen
M, Nigel, Robert H, Scott M, Eric, Darren SH, Bill, William and
Eric, Bill and Darren SH, Ian C, Richard, Rob, Shaun, Scott M and
all the others who helped bump out. Thanks guys.
