Long and overdue - the start of Christmas 2014


I have begun writing this blog about 20 times over the last month so that we could tell you lovely people about recent events, upcoming plans and new and exciting things that have been happening. As it turns out, distraction is the devil and the blog just kept getting put on the back burner. SO – here goes – dedicated to the 5th December 2014 blog, here’s what’s been happening…
*thinks hard about where to start*
October seems a lifetime ago, so let’s skip to the good bit and get on with the Christmas Party Season that kicked off in November.  A great event to tell you about would be a fabulous 007 themed awards ceremony that went off big style.  We provided many a prop, heaps of entertainment and all the AV and Technical Support needed to run the awards.  From start to finish we worked like little beavers ensuring that everything ran smoothly and a good night was had by all.  Daniel Craig and his trusty Bond Girl Side-Kick helped to host the night and hand out awards; much of the action happened around the Fun Casino Tables later in the evening and the whole room looked simply spectacular with our Giant Golden Gun Props taking pride of place!
The following week, we were over in Birmingham with our Hollywood themed props and Celebrity Look-a-Likes.  A great event that enabled us to showcase our props in front of 1000 guests.  Hosted at The ICC in Birmingham – a great venue for all sorts of different events, our Spoof Paparazzi, Marilyn Monroe Look-a-Like and Fun Casino Tables really did entertain the masses.  Our Hollywood Letters  made for a great stage set and accompaniment to the brilliant band and other Hollywood themed props and backdrops scattered around the venue and drinks reception to create super photo opportunities!

We moved on later that week into Circus mode, providing Circus themed staging, Circus themed props and Circus themed performers for a fantastic event at Carlisle Racecourse.  Our gregarious Ringmaster was the star of the show, introducing the other acts onto the themed stage and generally entertaining the crowd.  Our Circus themed Stilt Walkers and Juggler Act mingled wonderfully with the guests and our finale act; Acro Duo were mind-blowing. 

We went from the variety of themes above to full on Winter Wonderland the following week which of course is to be expected at this festive time of year.  There are plenty more Winter Wonderland themed events coming up over the next couple of weeks along with a few Great Gatsby themed parties (a popular choice at the moment). Plenty more to talk about in the next blog then!

For now I’ll leave you with the above and anticipation of an 80’s themed night, more Hollywood Glamour and plenty of Winter Wonderland action…
