Still managed to get my Yoga in before packing the car with all the DJ gear (that I have yet to discover was not ALL the DJ gear :-/). Andy came down with the lights to use tonight and then me and Sarah set off for the long drive to Newport.
It was a lovely day for a drive and we were about 15 minutes ahead of my mum, Gillian and Sante. We had tried to organise a meet-up at one of the services, but by the time we had got our food and eaten it, they still weren't there so we set off. Minutes, after we set off mum, rang to say they had arrived lol. The drive there went pretty quickly as we chatted all the way there, despite Sarah thinking she would fall asleep.
When we got to the venue and unloaded the car, it was at that point it dawned on me that I had forgotten my mixing desk on the breakfast bar at home. NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!! Luckily for me the venue had a setup already in place with speakers and lights etc. The bar manager was really helpful and helped me plug into their system. It wasn't ideal not having a mixing desk to swap from one channel to another and adjust the volume when I needed the mic but we got through it. Lots of members really made an effort to dress up and get into the spirit of it. Our newest addition to the events team, Amanda came up trumps with the raffle prizes and also sorted out bottles of Vodka and Gin for the welcome drinks. All in all, it was a great night. We had one small incident as someone who had gate crashed from downstairs ended up collapsing in the bar area so everything pretty much had to stop for an hour while paramedics treated him etc.
