FEBRUARY
FIRE BREATHING at The Dancing Dog Saloon - Bobbing. Sheppey Way, Sittingbourne, ME9 8QP
ORGANISER - GRAHAM Graham has a friend, Trent, who was prepared to throw caution to the wind and let us set ourselves on fire.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE "IF IT AIN'T DANGEROUS - DON'T DO IT" MEETINGS
The 'Dancing Dog Saloon' did a great job, mainly in ignoring any 'Elf & Safety' regulations. This is definitely one of those meetings where the pictures tell the story better than I can.....
FIRST, THE REAL FIRE BREATHING DRAGON SUPERSTARS
ANDY - LONG AND STRONG
CHRIS - LOW AND FRINGE SINGE
KEITH - FULL VOLUME
OWEN - COMPACT WITH A NICE UPPER BLOW BACK
PETE - ARTISTIC FLAME WITH EXTRA OVER SPIT
GARY - A TRUE SHOWMAN'S FLAME
WAYNE - TWO FLAME WAYNE
STUART - NICE BLOW
NOW SOME OF THE ALSO-RANS
LEN - NOT BAD FOR THOSE OLD LUNGS
PHIL - HE'S GOT A BAD SHOULDER YOU KNOW
IAN - NOT QUITE GOT IT, BIT LIKE HIS SKIING
AND FINALLY - STEVE - WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIREMAN. ALL HE DID WAS PUT THE WAND OUT! EVEN TRENT WAS LAUGHING!
Brilliant evening, even though Brian was missing and so could not show off his fire breathing skills, he's got a bad ankle you know. Mind you Brian had an excuse not to fire breath - he was after all 20 miles away with his foot in the air. Not sure what excuse the following had : - Tony and Hugh. Must just be chicken was the feeling of the meeting.
Many thanks to Trent for teaching everyone how to do it. Many thanks to The Dancing Dog for letting us do it - not many pubs would!
IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO YET PLEASE 1. VOTE FO THE AGM. 2. MENU CHOICE FOR MARCH DO IT NOW!
