 November Fancy Dress Party

You can go as whatever you want.  

I have put a few ideas for you as inspiration.  

It is a 20's style fancy dress party where you choose your own costume.

November 30th and December 1st

Saturday Food

60'S CHICKEN AND CHIPS

You can serve it in a basket.

(if you are slimming, we oven roast a chicken in olive oil and serve with low fat oven chips).

If you aren't dieting you could get Kentucky fried chicken or do rotiserie chicken coated in sugar and fries.

There are a lot of costumes ideas loaded into pinterest fashion calendar or you might be inspired by some of the films.

Saturday Night

Cowboys and Indians

This is my favourite Carry on film

It was my favourite Carry on film when I was little and still is.

I love how the women of the Wild West stood up to men.

They were the original empowered feminist maybe.

Realise this film shaped my life and came in subliminly when I was up against impossible situations with men and teenage boys in schools.

Only realised this from studying carry on films.

Gangsters and Molls



I think this is probably my favourite gangster film.  As I've studied films for a while, I like how it links to a lot of other gangster films from the Eastend of London arond this era.

It records the nightlife, 'up North', that a Ken Loach film tells of.

It is set in Newcastle, but with the Landlord from Queenies Castle, I am still finding new discoveries every time I watch this film.

It is also either interesting or annoying how the North of England got bungled into one place around that era, even though it is a vast area that varies a lot.

I think out of all the gangster films from this era, this is definately my favourite because of Michael Caine and Britt Ekland.

The style from Get Carter definately helped to shape and improve the North of England After this film and up until covid.  If you watch Likely Lads the Movie when it comes round again.

A similar thing happened in Manchester, you can't help wonder if post covid Britain is crying out for a makeover a bit similar.

Not all coal miners were staunch and were actually happier being Rock Stars or Degree Graduates.

Brilliant film if you have never seen it.

There is an actual true story similar to this, not sure if it is the inspiration behind it.

Sunday Night


Sunday concert


Love this concert getting dressed up to see two classic guitarists in a stately home.  My college was like this.  We saw loads of plays put on by the drama students.  Our college was a bit like Covid as it was in the middle of nowhere with a massive hike to the buses.  I was healthy luckily as I used to live on a hill.  Walked for a bus and enjoyed the nightlife of the North left over from The Get Carter film influence.

Just add your favourite tipple and enjoy.

The next online party is The Christmas Party and 8 days of liqueur; you could get 8 different liqueurs or just have your favourite ones.
