BB 40th birthday weekend - Fri 21st - Sun 23rd July - the other stuff
Setting the scene at Billy Bedlam's Holiday Camp, a.k.a. Tadley Rugby Club
Next home game - Billy Bedlam's Camp site Jackets ready to go!
Saturday early evening - Billy Bedlam's Holiday Camp sports (inside if wet)
 
Team space hopper races - very competitive! Also very hard on the thighs But Tom is in full control here
 
Florent an easy winner in the 'wind up your stick of rhubarb game' - obviously had years of practice on his allotment in France The coloured water race - always a popular event... ... and there's always a team that bend the rules (Brighton)
Saturday evening - supper, games, spots and more!
The BBQ supper in the Hawaiian Ballroom During desserts, a Brighton v BB pudding eating dance The knobbly knees competition judging going on...
... oh, and there's been a late entry Pass the orange and thread the string K-e-e-e-e-p smiling!
Some of the decorate-a-coconut entries - a cute one, a particularly rum one... ... a weird one ... ... and downright melon-choly one
Tough decision for the judges. Maybe bribery would help? (Gallon of cider, Sally? - but it was the rum wot won it for Chinewrde) BB's 40th birthday cake, brilliantly baked by Maria Marshall Jerry, fresh from a night's excellent ad-libbing, introduces the cake to BBs old and new
And there's only 1 possible candidate to cut it On to the spots - but first BB are obliged to Put on the Ritz "High hats and narrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars..." (in our dreams. and what's a spat, anyway?)
Good job Mark's only little. What's that? - he's grown up? Silver Flame. Fantastically entertaining...  ... even though it wasn't supposed to be.
Oyster with a song for us - "We're all going on  Bedlams Holiday" "We've heard that they're amazing, now let's see if it's true" - course it is. "Ah well I bless my soul, what's wrong with me?"
How long have we got?
 
"My hands are shaky, and my knees are weak.
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet"
You'll fit in fine in Berkshire Bedlam
"I'm all shook up, mm mm oh oh yeah yeah"
Couple of Rennies and an early night - works for me
We give you, please take him, the one, the only, Elvis Steptoe! Just fabulous!
 
Chinewrde - bit of a problem with the graphics here... ... but the gist is there's this Hungry Caterpillar... ... who goes on to be sick all over John (shame)...
... and then turns into a beautiful Chinewrde. I think that was the essence of it Brighton's spot - lots of hand clapping and knee clasping ...  ... not necessarily the one you were going for 
And now for the disco - this one's "Michael row the boat ashore"... ... or possibly "The Skye Boat Song" And now "Oh Happy Day"
Or was there a big screen showing a Mr. Motivator fitness workout?  Last spot - BB and Gangnam Style Ooohhh, sexy laydee 
Final pose. All the way down please, Roy Final song "Goodnight Campers" Goodnight campers, goodnight! (and thanks for coming)
Massive thanks from BB to all those who embraced the holiday camp theme and/or took part in the evenings activities!
