Last essexjam they had christmas!
Are they going to do it again or maybe another celebration of that sorts?

I suggest Halloween could be pretty fun!

Hi,

We did have a Halloween Party and Christmas/New Year in 2004. Do you remember the Bin Bag Ball as well?

I'm not on Ents this time so can't give you any inside info - I'm sure any theme nights will all be announced on the website/forums, so just keep checking in regulary tongue.gif

Was that the bin bag fashion show thingy?
Gosh, i can remember help people make them at Scouts and then they forgot to pack them in the van, so we didn't have them!
I can also remembering making the xmas party dress for my scout leader, he wasn't too impressed.

Hi all,

We are putting together the Entertainments program for the week at the moment.
If you have any suggestions or requests for themes, entertainment ideas etc please let us know and we will see if we can include them.

Once the program has been agreed it will posted on the website.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Themes to consider. Most of these we have done at some point.

Christmas
Halloween
Bin bag ball - Our explorers really liked the last one at our centenery camp
Roman - togas are dead easy to make!
Beach party - already been mentioned.
Medieval

Is this for the kids evening entertainment, or does the adult bar have themed nights as well? Only asking as we have never been to the Essex Jamboree before.............

The coffin
Trouble with togas is they've been done to a death maybe we should dress our camps to?
Mr stephen
don't know if it would be possible in a marquee but a foam party would be wicked.

I like the idea of having Christmas in the middle of Summer. Having Christmas songs being played over the speakers, everyone going around saying Merry Christmas and giving out presents.

Sounds right up my street!
