We all really enjoyed everything you booked. From laughing our way through the dance class to our beautiful afternoon tea then lapping up the excitement of the casino at night.Mary McHugh 04 Oct 2014
Good Afternoon Aisha
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising my hen activities last week-end. We all really enjoyed everything you booked. From laughing our way through the dance class to our beautiful afternoon tea then lapping up the excitement of the casino at night. I must say I was more than happy with everything that you booked.
I will highly recommend your company to friends and family.
Thanks again
The weekend was great thanks, the apartments were much bigger than I was expecting and perfect for getting everyone together so we were really happyGeorgina Raffle and Hens 13 Sep 2014
Hi Mike,
The weekend was great thanks, the apartments were much bigger than I was expecting and perfect for getting everyone together so we were really happy. Also the afternoon tea was lovely, and so much more than we could eat (I think some people were worried they would still be hungry as we didn't have lunch). Also the last who has allergies was really impressed with the selection they gave her. I will ask the bride if she minds you having a few photos.
Thanks again for all your planning,

...the weekend was great thanks everyone enjoyed it especially the bride to be..!Claire Panter 02 Aug 2014
Hi Mike,
Sorry for the late reply, the weekend was great thanks everyone enjoyed it especially the bride to be! One complaint was the weather Saturday day, couldn't believe it after all the amazing weather we've been having.
The apartments were lovely, only thing was we all weren't on the same floor as they moved us due to a leak in the one, they were going to let us stay in it but the floor was uneven in the hallway so we asked to be moved. Afternoon tea and the pamper party were all fab. The birdcage was brilliant too, loved it.
I especially had a great time just having a break from being mommy for 2 days! The shopping on sunday was fun too, primark was amazing, so big!
Have got some photos on my camera so when I upload them I will definitely send you some over.
Thanks again for all the arranging, especially Aisha she has been a star. Wish her all the best for her wedding next year from me.
Kind regards

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging a fabulous hen party for us. We all really enjoyed ourselves and thought out butler Tom was fab.

Many thanks

The weekend was a total success and everyone had an awesome time. The hen was so chuffed and enjoyed it thoroughly.Alesha Holder and Hens 12 Jul 2014
Hi there Mike,
The weekend was a total success and everyone had an awesome time. The hen was so chuffed and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Clay pigeon was such a great activity which everyone enjoyed and our instructors were so accommodating and made it a great afternoon out.
We ventured around the Gay Village which was so vibrant and so welcoming. It was the 10th anniversary of the charity Sparkle which only added to the greatness of the weekend.
We enjoyed the Birdcage and decided to stay there for the evening so alas we didn't venture to Tiger Tiger.
The hotel was adequate enough for our needs and the breakfast was outstanding.
Thanks to everyone for their help with organising this weekend, Abbie our hen had a weekend to remember as did everyone else.

"All in all a stress free weekend after the build up and the bride to be was chuffed with it all. Personal thanks to you and Sharon for making a complicated process easy and providing us all with memories and a brilliant service from start to finish..."Rachel Harvey 26 Apr 2014
Hi mike
It's on my list of things to do to contact you today to say what a fantastic weekend we all had. The apartments were beautiful and ideal for a night in with fun and games, the staff were really helpful and rooms really spacious, we had a delux apartment so that one in particular was ideal for entertaining in. The dancing was brilliant, such a good laugh, even those who weren't so keen joined in and we got some great videos and photos. Revolution was lovely! The food was fantastic and everyone was pleasantly surprised! The night out was fab and even though we got to tiger tiger after 11 they still let us in with no issues. All in all a stress free weekend after the build up and the bride to be was chuffed with it all. Personal thanks to you and Sharon for making a complicated process easy and providing us all with memories and a brilliant service from start to finish, everywhere was booked under 1 name which made it easy and the activities made it great for those who joined us on the second day. I have already recommended you as it was so much easier having the hard work done for us! I will forward some photos to you
Thanks again
"The support and advise in booking my Hen Party was excellent, quick and thorough. It made the process of organising very easy and took the stress and hassle away from attempting to book everything separately..."Zara Whalley 12 Apr 2014
The support and advise in booking my Hen Party was excellent, quick and thorough. It made the process of organising very easy and took the stress and hassle away from attempting to book everything separately – Jessica was responsible for this and her customer service was exceptional. The day / evening went smoothly and was well organised and prepared. Staff at the bars/clubs were friendly and very accommodating and helped to make the experience enjoyable and unforgettable. I would recommend you in the future to anyone who may want to organise a Stag or Hen party! Thank You

We were really impressed with how everything was as described, made it very for easy for us to enjoy a memorable weekend - stress free! Thanks to you & your team for making the planning of it all so easy! 5****Kylie Smith 12 Apr 2014
Hi Michael!
Our hen weekend was truely fantastic! All ran smoothly, to plan, with no problems what so ever! We were really well looked after.
Belle vue – although we were all exhausted from being on the go from 5.30am, it was a great experience! 2 lovely photographs as a keepsake, myself & mother of the bride both had first place in our sponsored "springbank stakes" race!
Life Drawing – had to be the best 90mins of the whole weekend! So glad we booked it – other than myself, the bride & other bridesmaid knowing about this, it was a total surprise for the rest of our hens! Our faces hurt from smiling/laughing! Graham was fantastic, a genuinly nice guy! We are now all fine artists!
Karting – great fun! Quite a long wait in between heats due the amount of people there (and i believe there should have been another group of men) Despite this we were very competitive & our bride even made into the semi finals with all the men! She didnt win 1st 2nd or 3rd but they still gave her a medal as a wee keepsake which was really nice of them!
Groovy Wonderland-a great place to end a day of fun! Everything was as described, we got our nibbles, sharer cocktail & cupcakes without even having to ask. Table was decorated with confetti & balloons! We did move on from our booth after a while as it was a bit of squeeze to fit the 10 of us comfortably in it.
Street cars (taxi firm) were fast & reliable, our hotel booked most of them on our behalf.
We were really impressed with how everything was as described, made it very for easy for us to enjoy a memorable weekend – stress free! Thanks to you & your team for making the planning of it all so easy! 5****

I would definitely recommend your services to other hens as even before the event, everyone was so helpful with all my questions.Serena Moore 05 Apr 2014
Good morning Aisha,
We had a fabulous time on my hen weekend in Manchester.
The Castlefield Hotel was perfect and the staff there were brilliant! It was lovely to go for a relaxing swim and use the sauna and have a pamper!
The comedy night was great and the whole weekend was great value for money. I would definitely recommend your services to other hens as even before the event, everyone was so helpful with all my questions.
Thank you so much for an amazing weekend! The we all had a great time!
Kindest regards,
Serena Moore
I was going to email you actually to say thanks so much for arranging the hen do and for all your help. Everyone had such a brilliant time and they keep thanking me for organising it.Vicky Bowley 15 Mar 2014
Hi Aisha,
Thanks for your email. I was going to email you actually to say thanks so much for arranging the hen do and for all your help. Everyone had such a brilliant time and they keep thanking me for organising it. They absolutely loved the cocktail class as couldn't believe it was such good value for money as we got so many drinks included plus the food platters! It was so much fun too.
Everything went smoothly with the birdcage and I thought that the music was really good in there and everyone seemed to enjoy it. although there were a few complaints about the toilets and there was no soap in the dispensers right from the start of the night but that is just a minor issue.
The apartments were great, very clean and spacious. The sofa beds were quite uncomfortable but overall everything was fine.
Yes I will definitely send some photos over and right a review.
Thank you for your help with everything, it all went so smoothly.
I hope you have a fabulous hen do and wedding too.
Many Thanks

Hi Aisha
My daughter and friends have just come back from the hen night we booked through yourselves they said it was top class. the Hotel was 1st class and both the Tiger Tiger club and the Birdcage were fab, they all said what a very good deal it was and they would have no problem passing your details onto friends who are thinking of having hen nights.
Once again thank you,

I would like to thank Stag and Hen for all their help with this. I organised a hen for 25 people which is not easy but they made the process very simple for me and dealt with my (many) queries professionally and in a very timely manner. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.Simmi 23 Nov 2013
I thought Stag and Hen were brilliant though – I dealt with Sharon and she couldn't have been more helpful! Even when I kept changing the booking she was completely accommodating and helped advise on everything I asked.Sam, Jilly and Hens 04 Oct 2013
We had a great weekend thank you! We were all hugely impressed with the apartments, great décor and size and really good location. The delux apartment was particularly good for our Friday night in and had plenty of space and everything we needed. Would definitely go back there!
I thought the cocktail making was really good – having a private room was brilliant and the different selection of cocktails were great….
I thought Stag and Hen were brilliant though – I dealt with Sharon and she couldn't have been more helpful! Even when I kept changing the booking she was completely accommodating and helped advise on everything I asked. I would definitely recommend using your company to a friend – Organising a hen do was right up there with the stress of organising a wedding and Sharon took a large chunk of stress out of the process!!
I've not really got any decent photos but I'll ask the other girls and see if there's anything I can forward on to you
2 nights 4* Apartment Accommodation, Cocktail Masterclass
The two activities that you arranged for us were spot on. No hen party should be complete without the wonderful Graham (nude life drawing), he certainly left a big impression on all the girls !! The Saturday pole dancing class was a massive hit with us all, especially the bride to be, she was a born natural!!!Joanne 06 Sep 2013
Hi Sharon and Mike,
Just wanted to say a very big thank you for making my best buds hen weekend such an amazing time for her and all of her friends. From the first contact I had with yourselves you proved to be very helpful and accommodated all of my requirements (which i did change on a few occasions), nothing seemed to be a problem to you and i appreciated all the help.

And to top it all off the complimentary entrance passes into Tiger Tiger were brilliant, we went straight to the front and had no problems whatsoever in getting in free as you said.
So once again, many thanks, I have and will highly recommend Stag and Hen Manchester for any person wishing to book a hen or Stag party, you're commitment to our booking was excellent.

Hi Mike,
Just wanted to say thank you so much for organising our hen weekend. it was AMAZING the girls said it was the best weekend they have had. The hotel was fantastic and in a great location, really comfortable beds and very big rooms, breakfast was great and really friendly staff. Cocktail making class really made the weekend and certainly got our monies worth in drink! Jess who did our lesson was great fun!
We went to see dream boys and I know you said that you might offer packages with them in the future, I wouldn't bother! 3 of us including myself walked out during the show! it was really seedy and tacky! it went way to far and left nothing to the imagination.
Other then that the rest of the weekend was great value you for money! so massive thanks to you and your team

It was great fun chocolate making- we where late so unfortunately didn't have time for everything but it was our fault- trying to organise 30 people to be somewhere on time was a nightmare.
I have got pic's but they are abit rude as most of us as you can imagine make chocolate shaped hen do style willies etc- but if you want them i can send them through to you.
Once again thanks very much and attached completed questionnaire.

You have now been affectionately renamed 'Magic Mike' as I had to keep saying that the super time we were having was because of youDavina and Hens 23 May 2013
Hi Mike
We had an absolutely amazing, stress free Hen Do. You have now been affectionately renamed 'Magic Mike' as I had to keep saying that the super time we were having was because of you.
The Hotel couldn't have been more perfect. Their service was better than most 5 star hotels I've stayed at for much more money. They ordered us taxis, took photos, helped with directions and even posted back my forgotten jeans at no cost to myself. The breakfast was the best hotel brekky I've ever had anywhere (ex RAF so that's def saying something!) and they looked after our luggage until our train on Sunday too. I really can't thank you enough for booking us in here it was 100% perfect. HJ Beans was OK. The service here wasn't good but the food was fine and location excellent. We didn't get chance to go in Tiger Tiger but everyone loved The Birdcage.
We are all exceptionally pleased with what you organised for us ' Magic Mike' and we would recommend you every time to anyone wishing to organise a hen or stag do.
Thank you once again. A very happy Davina x

I would say the whole experience dealing with Stag and Hen Manchester was brilliant. Always available to help with any questions, very accomodating and understanding and took a huge amount of pressure from me with the organisation. I feel we got the best deal we could have done and everyone had a brilliant time.Louise and Hens 07 Feb 2013
Hi Mike,
The apartments that we stayed in were brilliant – very spacious and we had lots of room to all gather and play games etc. The dance session was good – we didn't need to full 2 hours but I think that was more to do with the fact we were a small group. The comedy store was brilliant and very funny – our theme was rainbow and I have attached a picture of us all for you.

A few words sum it all up - Fantastic, brilliant, awesome!Gillian and her Hens 04 Oct 2012
Everyone was delighted with the Apartment, breakfast was delicious and it was just what I wanted with regards to space, facilities & location to the train station. We had over-ordered drinks & mixers so we left some drink in the apartment so hopefully they went to a good home as we couldn't carry it all home!
My surprise for Friday was just that – a big surprise – I think we were quite tame with Mike – the Butler in question, but I hope he'd agree with that though, lol.
Cocktail making class was a huge hit with everyone too, we have some very funny photos to relive the memories, and we hope to do it again in the future. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
The Birdcage was fab as well – everyone raved about the acts, the music was brilliant & had us up dancing all night (I personally have sore feet and ache everywhere haha ) – we just a great day all round & we are sorry its all over!
You have been very efficient at explaining everything when I needed more detail – I know I asked a lot of questions, so I really do appreciate what you have done, and I will definitely recommend your business to anyone else for Hen / Stag parties. Many, many thanks once again.

Thank you very much for organising what you did. I will most certainly be recommending Stag and Hen Manchester!Melissa and Hens 05 Sep 2012
The apartments were amazing! We got 2 large 2 bed apartments on the 6th floor, they were massive.
Breakfast in the mornings was also very good.
On Friday we went shopping, then had lunch and cocktails at the new TGI Fridays.
At night we went to Tiger Tiger on Friday night. Met Comedy Dave from the Radio 1 show, so was thrilled to see a celeb!
The Spa at Bannatynes was great. Its a lovely place and the treatments were very enjoyable.
We went to Purity on Saturday night. The meal was lovely and the cocktails even better. All very good value for money too.
We then went to The Birdcage. We hadnt booked early enough for seats, so didnt stay long as we couldnt see the stage very well.
Sunday we made our way to London for the Lady Gaga concert…..amazing!
Please see attached some pictures of us in our fancy dress, and also out for tea and cocktails on Sat night at Purity.
Thank you very much for organising what you did. I will most certainly be recommending Stag and Hen Manchester!

Hi Mike
The hotel was out of this world, the cocktail masterclass was amazing. We all really enjoyed that and would do it again. What I can remember of Tiger Tiger it was ace. You do a really really good job.
Thank you
The hen night was amazing!! It was all we had expected and so much more. The apartment was absolutely gorgeous, the staff were so friendly and the rooms were really lovely. Having 2 apartments right next door to each other was ideal!Victoria and Hens 18 May 2012
The pole dancing was also fantastic. The trainer was excellent and it was just the right length of time. We all had plenty of time to try the dancing and take lots of pictures and videos and the bottle of wine for the bride to be was a lovely touch as were the certificates for everyone.
The butler was superb! Again very friendly with a lovely personality. He was so polite and served us drinks and played games with us throughout our time with him.
The white room was so much fun. It was such a lively friendly and fun atmosphere, everybody there was just having so much fun and all of the free drink we got was brilliant.
Everything went so smoothly, everything ran to time and all the staff at each activity were so friendly and helpful.
I will definitely be booking future hen nights with Stag and Hen Manchester, I would come back to Manchester just to use this company alone. The service we received was absolutely first class and we cannot thank you enough for making this such a special night for our bride to be, it was a weekend that none of us will ever forget, absolutely fantastic thank you!
Everyone had a great time including of course the most important person - the bride to be Kimberley!Ruth, Kimberley and Hens 09 May 2012

Thank you to Mike & Sharon for all the help with the organisation, you made it very easy and the itinerary was perfect.
Pole dancing was such good fun and having to perform a dance routine in order to earn our poletastic certificate was hilarious.Arlaine and Hens 19 Apr 2012
Hi Mike
It was amazing. I was going to e-mail you to say a massive thanks.
Appartments were first class, so impressive and such a central location.
Tom the butler in the buff was so much fun and really helped out with ideas. The hen had a wonderful time.
Pole dancing was such good fun and having to perform a dance routine in order to earn our poletastic certificate was hilarious.
Tiger Tiger also went very smoothly , went straight to queue you mentioned in itinerary and all was well.
Last but definately not least Birdcage. We must have had the best reserved seating in the house. All 6 tables reserved for our party. It was a fun filled night of cabaret and dancing. We even had the opportunity to practice our pole dancing skills given they had the facilities.
I am more than happy to fill out the feedback form. I will get that to you asap. My partner is uploading the pics on flikr so I will send you some.
A massive thanks again. what a memorable weekend!
We had an absolutely fantastic time thanku so much!Kathryn and Hens 12 Apr 2012
The apartments were amazing everyone was so impressed! The were out of this world and such good value! The location was second to none, it really made the weekend!!! Liverpool is such a brilliant city with something for everyone and the people totally go out of their way to help!!

Hi Mike,
Just back to work today think ive recovered. thanks for everything we had a great weekend the hen's had an absolute ball. i took loads of photo's so will send you a couple from home tonight. the butler was a huge success the hen loved it as she didnt want a stripper. The hen's all loved tiger tiger we actually ended up there on the sunday night too.
CatCatherine and Hens 30 Mar 2012
Well Ill start by saying that the weekend was an absolute success. All of the girls who attended and more importantly the bride to be had a great time and many fun memories were created which I know my friend the bride will look back at fondly. We loved the apartments, perfect for such a big party like ours, it gave us the living space to have a slumber party on the Friday night and they were perfectly situated. I would recommend these apartments to any other girls who are planning a hen weekend in Manchester. The burlesque session was really fun, we absolutely loved Tiger Tiger and the Birdcage, really great atmosphere, music that everyone would want to dance to and just a really fun 'camp' feel to the place which was just what we wanted. The two restaurants that we had dinner in on the Saturday night (Dough) and then for Sunday lunch (Sams Chophouse) were both super. The food was second to none. So thank you for the Dough recommendation.
….This is the first (and hopefully the last!) hen weekend Ive ever had to arrange and working with you guys has really helped take some of the stress out of this process for me, you've been most helpful and accommodating. I have already recommended you to friends.
Thanks again and all the best,
Amber.Amber and Hens 15 Mar 2012
Stag and Hen Manchester were so helpful and friendly throughout the organisation of the hen weekend that it felt as though they were part of the celebrations! The weekend went really smoothly and everyone had a fantastic time and were very complimentary of the whole experience and Stag and Hen took the hassle out of all the organisation
Thanks PennyPenny, Louise and Hens 08 Mar 2012
Hi Mike
The hotel was good we was able to check in before the cocktail masterclass which helped alot. The cocktail masterclass was brilliant we all had a great time and the staff were good. The meal in tiger tiger was nice but a little rushed and the karoke was fab we all had a great time and the staff were very helpful.
I will forward you the feedback form. Many thanks for all your help it was a great time had by all and everything went smoothly.
Hi Mike,
I was actually going to email you myself to say a big thank you. We had an absolutely brilliant weekend. It literally couldn't have gone any better. We got upgraded at The Place to the Deluxe apartments which was brilliant for the cheeky butler! He was a really nice guy and did a great job of entertaining us. I was dubious about the trampolining at first but even that was such a giggle. We were crying with laughter at each other, and they mixed it up and got us on all the gymnastics apparatus. The casino night was also superb, the meal was great and the casino was lovely. Most of us came out up as well which was a bonus!
The service provided by Stag and Hen Manchester was very professional, efficient, friendly and helpful. They were very patient and accommodating when organising the initial details, and were always available when I raised any queries. The weekend was a great success, very good value for money and I would definitely recommend the company to others.

Many many thanks!
ShelleyShelley and Hens 02 Mar 2012
Had a great time though and will definitely be returning to Manchester and would recommend your company and the activities that we used to others. Many thanks.Laura and Hens 15 Mar 2012
We really really enjoyed our weekend away and were especially impressed with the people that did our photoshoot, they were fantastic, helpful and put us at ease immediately. Was a fantastic, chilled out way to spend the day.
Many of my 'hens' were very apprehensive about having a 'photoshoot' as they 'hate having their photo taken' but all really enjoyed it and most bought additional photos from the photographer
Similarly we also had a great time at Groovy Wonderland
Apologies for the late reply I have been so busy.
The weekend was brilliant and went by without any problems at all so thank you very much.
The hotel was excellent and the activites were well organised and fun. I am about to go away for a couple of weeks so really pressed for time but when I get back i will definately fill in the feedback and will ask the girls about the photos no problem
Once again thank you so much for all your help with the weekend and i will definately be recommending you to anyone who wants to organise anything similar
Had an absolutely amazing time thanks. All the girls LOVED IT!!!Alexandra and Hens 17 Feb 2012
Cant fault anything, the hotel was really nice, everything we needed and the breakfast the next morning was great too the choice was huge, cereal, full english, fresh fruit! The masterclass was great, my utter favourite of them all, we all had around 4 cocktails each and the food they brought us after was plenty too.
Tiger tiger was great too, the food was lovely.
Bridcage was amazing and the seats we had were great too.
I will definately be contacting you again to book another girly weekend & want to say thankyou for all you wuick replies and help.
Kind Regards
We had a great time! The apartments were perfect- exactly what I had wanted! There was plenty of room, they were clean , modern and perfect for the occasion! The cupcakes went down well too thank you!!….
The kareoke booth was brilliant we had lots of fun! I will be sending some pictures this week and will complete your survey form!Ruth and Hens 15 Feb 2012
Hi Mike,
We had a lovely time at the dance class and the teacher was first class she made the experience fun. Please can you pass on our thanks! I will ask the other hens if they dont mind my sending on a photo, if they are happy for me to do this I will send you an e-mail with a couple of pictures attached.
Thanks Again!
Kind Regards
DeniseDenise and Hens 12 Mar 2012
The weekend was perfect thanks for all your help it was a complete surprise for the Hen and it was exactly what she wanted. Couldn't fault a thingCarrie and Hens 29 Nov 2011
Morning Mike,
We had the best weekend ever!! Thank you so Much. The highlight was definitely the cocktail master class it was brilliant. Tiger Tiger was good. When we got to the hotel we thought we were at the wrong place haha, was absolutely amazing!!!
I will get some photos together and send them across to you.
Thank you for all your help
I would definitely recommend anybody planning a hen party to get in touch with the Stag and Hen Manchester. Brilliant service and all 21 of us had the best weekend ever!! Thank you very muchSian and Hens 25 Nov 2011
Thank you Mike and Sharon for taking all of the worry and stress out of organising my Hen Weekend.
We all had a fantastic time. The Tubing activity at the Chill Factore kicked off the day with much fun.
The hotel was better than we could have imagined and all the Hens were in awe; the Hotel even dressed my room up with balloons and banners for my arrival which was a great surprise.
The meal at the Comedy Store was so much more than we expected and we were treated like VIPs the whole time that we were there. The comedy was also great fun with a good mix of comedians who could handle the heckling from my Hens (Whoops)! Highly recommended!
The free passes into Revolution were a great bonus to help to kick start the evening.
Everything ran like clockwork and I would highly recommend Stag and Hen Manchester to my friends to take the stress away from the organising.
TeresaTeresa and Hens 16 Nov 2011
Thanks for everything. The apartments were great. Sam was lovely and made sure my hens were topped up with drinks and having a good time. It was all brilliant.Siobhan and Hens 28 Oct 2011
The location, cleanliness and overall size and layout of the apartments was fantastic. I would highly recommend them to others and would definitely stay there again. It was great to be able to get ready in a group rather than all having to go off in twos to separate hotel rooms. Oh and the lady that cleaned the big apartment that I was staying in was really friendly. So I mention for her is definitely worthwhile. Didn't get her name though unfortunately.
Thanks again for all your help. Let me have the feedback form and I'll also send you some pics!
Stag and Hen Manchester were great at organising my Bollywood Dancing lesson for my hen party. With all our questions answered in their FAQ and itinery that they send once you book, not one thing went wrong on the actual day of the event. It couldn't have gone smoother. Me and my hens enjoyed it and had such a laugh, to the point where all my hens want to show what we learnt on my wedding day. Thnank you so much for making my last few days as a singleton fun and stress free.Dips and Hens 20 Oct 2011
Hi Sharon and Mike, just wanted to say what a fantastic weekend we had this weekend!! Stil recovering now! The cocktail masterclass was AMAZING and they got us all very drunk!! We played lots of games, made lots of cocktails and giggled until it hurt! The hotel was fab!! The service was excellent, rooms great – loved it! Night out was sooooo much fun too. We danced and laughed and drank all night long!! Can't thank you enough!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ xXxXxKatherine and Hens 20 Oct 2011
Thank you for your help with the alterations we had to make for the evening. We thought the apartments were amazing and really suited what we wanted. They were in a great location too. The paying in instalments made it easy for getting all the money together.
If we ever need a large group booking again, we'll be in touch!!!Philippa and Hens 15 Sep 2011
Hi Mike,
Yes everything went smoothly and we had a brilliant especially the hen thankyou so much for organising everything so well.
I will get the questionnaire filled in for you and a few pics sent I will have to vet them first though!
BeccaBecca and Hens 16 Sep 2011
I am alive!!!!! The weekend was amazing. The whole party loved the hotel and was very impressed. The girls loved the spa and returned very chilled. The photo shoot is an asset to your services. We had some people who were really not sure about it, but everyone came out feeling great. The photographer was amazing- very professional but made you feel confident. Ashley the make up artist was great and even topped my make up up before I left! A great chilled out day- and we was done by 3pm. The photo's have come and all the girls are chuffed (thank god for airbrushing!!!!).
I will leave feedback for you and will also ask the other girls to do the same.
Photo's- hmmmm, are you sure????!!!! Some of them are pretty messy lol. Nikki is collating all the photo's from the weekend, so if you email her I'm sure she will supply you with some gems.
I would like to say thank you to you and Sharon for such a great service. The weekend ran so smoothly- no issues at all
I will be recommending you to all my friends- some of them are even asking if you arrange girly weekends and not just hen?
Kelly xKelly, Nikki and Hens 18 Aug 2011
Excellent hotel for our requirements, couldn't have asked for anything better. Thanks for your help! LynnLynn and Her 25 Hens 26 Aug 2011
…. We were then passed to Scott who was absolutely fantastic! He let us eat when we wanted & really wanted us to win when we played! Food was great as was the waiting on staff. Our winnings paid off half the bar tab!!
Birdcage – brilliant as expected – everyone had a fab time – we were the last ones standing.
We really had a great time and everything with Stag&HenManchester was dealt with brilliantlyPenny and Hens 18 Aug 2011
The Burlesque session that was booked was a lot of fun and went down well with all of the hen party "young and old", so much so that the Hen decided that she wanted us to repeat our performance as the final dance at the wedding. Excellent!Leanne and Hens 27 Jul 2011
I felt the service I received was fantastic and I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to other parties. It was a great weekend had by all and I will definitely be using you again in the future.Sarah and Hens 27 Jul 2011
What a weekend!! We all had a great time, thank you sooooo much. Everything went smoothly, except for turning up to Burlesque late because we got lost but Faye was very understanding a patient with us. The hotel was perfect, ideal for what we wanted, the rooms were well equipped and very tidy, perfect, better than The Jurys inn which I stayed at in February.
The dancing was brilliant, we had such a laugh, embarrassing at first but we soon got into the swing of things.
We didnt really benefit from the Q jumping because there wasnt any queues which of course is a bonus but it was worthwile having them just in case.
Thanks for the very detailed intinerary, I dont think you could have possibly give me anymore information so a massive thanks for that, felt very well informed and organised (that makes a change for me).
Thanks again for all you and your company did, you've been great and provided me with a very memorable hen night.
Just wanted to let you both know that the weekend was brilliant. It couldn't have gone any better.Nicky, Emma and Hens 13 Jul 2011
Hi Both,
Just wanted to let you both know that the weekend was brilliant. It couldn't have gone any better.
Firstly, the hotel was stunning, which of course started the break off with a big thumbs up. The segway, was hillarious!! The staff there were lovely and couldn't of asked for better company on the day…..I would really appreciate it if you could pass my thanks and comments on to them. They certainly made the day!!! Me and Emma then went on to do the Zorbing (ball down the hill experience), well, why not. Although this did make us a little late for our return journey…but even the minibus driver was a lovely man!!!
Then there was the birdcage…again, excellent. We all had such a great night!
Once I've managed to sort through the photos, I will of course e-mail them over too you. I would like to say a huge thank you to you both for organising my hen weekend. It far exceeded my expectations. I would certainly recommend you to anyone who wants to organise their hen/stag weekend!!!
Thanks again
Kind Regards
Nicky xx
Just returned from Emma's hen night in Manchster just wanted to say we had a fantastic time and thankyou for all the effort you put in to making it a great success. I shall definitely be recommending you to my friends once again thank you. The Midland Hotel was superb, the comedy show brilliant and the chocolate making delicious what more can I say.Emma, Bridesmaid Lesley and Hens 12 Jul 2011
The hen do went really well thanks, very organised and everything went to plan. The dance instructor was lovely and didn't mind that non of us were very good and the cocktail making was really fun! Once I get my camera sorted out I'll send some pictures. Thanks for all your help it was great!Holly and her Hens 29 Jun 2011
We all really enjoyed our stay in Manchester, the service you provided was excellent, the hotel was lovely and in a good location, staff were really friendly. The pole dancing and burlesque was a big hit and the tutor was really fun and gave everyone confidence to take part. Good weekend had by all thank you xJennifer and Hens From Henllan Wales 15 Jun 2011
Our hen party was fantastic! We were all very impressed by the hotel we did not expect to stay somewhere as nice as that. The cocktail master class was great, good value for money and lots of fun. It was a great way to start our weekend. The meal at the sky lounge was our highlight, the view from the room was amazing and having the place to ourselves made us feel like celebrities! Even though we were a small group it was really nice to have the place to ourselves we created our own atmosphere. Luckily we had an iphone with us with our own music on and so as the room has an apple mac in the corner we were allowed to put on our own music. We went to tiger tiger although we did not stay long, but the experience made us laugh! So all in all we had a great weekend and would recommend your company to others!
Thank you Mike we had a fantastic hen weekend. The hotel was lovely the cocktail master class was lots of fun and the meal in the sky lounge was great. The views from the lounge were incredible and the food was great. We feel like we got great value for money thank you.
NicolaNicola and Hens From Widnes, Cheshire 15 Jun 2011
I had a great experience using Stag & Hen Manchester, the service was excellent and my questions were always answered quickly.
I was given additional information about restaurants and other facilities.
I did book some things separately and wasn't pressured into booking anything upfront.
I will definitely recommend Stag & Hen Manchester to anyone planning a future event.
Many thanks for making my sisters hen weekend a great success!
The hen do went very well thank you. The hotel was fantastic though and hit the nail on the head. Just for information everybody really enjoyed Albert's Shed so thanks for the recommendation.Tracy and Hens 09 Jun 2011
Mike was in contact for the whole hen planning process. He was extremely well informed and made the planning of such an important weekend really easy and hassle free. By the time the weekend actually came about I had no concerns that everything would run smoothly as I knew that Mike had sorted everything for us. No question was too small even down to costing taxi's for around the city. The hotel that he arranged for us was ideal and the dog racing was superb. We were even met at the end and taken into town. I would with no doubt recommend this service to other Hen and Stag parties as it changed a weekend that was starting to become stressful into a relaxed and memorable send off for our bride. Thanks again Mike, much appreciated!Abi and Hens from Kendal 08 Jun 2011
We all had a fab time and everything went smoothly. Thanks for all your help!Michelle, Jo and Friends from Belfast 08 Jun 2011
Everything was great thanks - I gave everything top marks- thanks for all your help. JessicaJessica From Rotherham 31 May 2011
Had an amazing day and night. it all ran smoothly. absolutely no probems except we parked in the wrong ncp! d'oh! perfect weekend! vodka rev was particularly brilliant! we were really welcome, it was all set up and ready for us! I would certainly recommend the cocktail class to everyone! the night time was fab, and the spa was just right for relaxing us after long journey! the portion sizes at hard rock were mega!
Thanks again guys! Ten out of ten to you! Photos to follow through the week!!
Samantha From Chesterfield 25 May 2011
Yeah we had a fabulous weekend thanks. A few sore heads on the sat morning!! The cupcake thing was great fun and the view from the champagne lunch was great, the sun came out just in time. As soon as I have photos I'll let you have some.Nikki from Hertfordshire 28 Feb 2011
Thank you for recommending it as part of our package, we are already thinking what excuse we need to go back and do it all again!!Sam from Lytham St Annes 26 Feb 2011
We had a fantastic day on Saturday thanks. The Spa was amazing and everyone there was professional, friendly and did everything they could to make the day perfect. We all enjoyed every minute of the experience from the facilities through to the treatments!
"Stag & Hen Manchester planned the greatest Manchester Hen party for one of my best friends! It was a day of cocktail making, karaoke and dancing — all expertly arranged, by true pros. We had a few later changes, which were handled with ease — and the updated PDF schedules which came through with every amendment were the sign of great organisation. Brilliant prices too, lots of little extras, and my friend called it one of the best days of her life. I'll be back – highly recommended!"Karl, Sheffield 21 Feb 2011
Hi Mike,
We just wanted to add a big thank you to both yourself and Sharon for organising the hen do. The bride had no idea what we had planned for her and was thoroughly pleased from start to finish.
The hotel accommodation was excellent, the staff were friendly, informative and very attentive. We chose to eat in the hotel and this was excellent. The rooms were lovely (and in particular the twin room which was wonderful!) with all the facilities that we required and breakfast was lovely too.
Can I just also praise the staff at the Mojo bar and recommend that you use them frequently Upon arrival we were quickly shown to the private room upstairs where the 'resources' needed for the evening were already set up. The cocktail Master for the evening was Sam and his manner, professionalism and fun personality really made us feel relaxed, confident in what we were having a go at and allowed us to let our hair down. We received a cocktail on arrival, a shot after an introductory game and then the cocktail making began. We each made two cocktails and for those that didn't make their own cocktail they tried one that Sam made for us. The evening was split up with another game and shot and then we had the mojito challenge (which I won!!!!) where we got to make another cocktail. The winner got a fantastic cocktail making starter kit to take away.
The value for money for this part of the evening alone was exceptional. As we were leaving Sam put our name on the guest list giving us the option to return later in the night. We did indeed return later in the night and were allowed in straight away and again, Sam was very attentive to us all.
The rest of the evening ran smoothly, although our names were not on the guest list at Pure but this was a fault at their end and the lady on the door had no trouble letting us in once she had seen the paperwork you provided.
In summary, the evening was everything we could have hoped for and more! We would recommend your services to other people and also MOJO's cocktail class.
Many thanks for all your hard work. I hope this testimony is of some use!!! I will email you some photos once we have collected them all together.Heather and Her Hens 19 Feb 2011
Cocktail Masterclass Package
The WOW balls were great we had a fantastic time, although no one stood on their feet for long…………..I ache where I didn't realise I had muscles!!!! We had lunch in the Quay House at 12.00 and then met the Water Sports Centre at 1.15 as you advised by 1.30 I was stepping out on to the water in My Wow Ball… Very surreal. Lots of photos were taken all the girls had fun even the ones who were a bit nervous!! I laughed so much my sides ached. By 3.10 we were absolutely shattered and definitely ready for hot chocs back in the Quay House (we had reserved an area in this pub so spectators could watch from the window away from the cold! and also we had all our clothes etc there too.) I will of course get photos over to you asap and your very welcome to use these. I will add that your company dealt with my requests for info, and my booking extremely well, and there were no hitches and I didn't get bombarded with advertising emails after I had enquired which was also very nice.
Thank you for planning this particular part of my Hen Party you made it very easy and I couldn't have had a better time !!!!! Photos will follow shortlyVicki and Her Hens 11 Feb 2011
The weekend was brilliant thank you, it was just a shame a few of the girls were ill!
Nicci said you popped in to see how it was going. Snow tubing was a giggle, would recommend it to anyone! Infact we are thinking of going again for Christmas so Nicci can join in this time.
The only dilema we had (nothing to do with you) was we had booked into Zizzi's for a meal and to cut a long story short when we got there they had cancelled our booking and they had no gas! Bit of a panic as like you say the centre was packed due to the boxing but we managed to sweet talk the manager in Wagamama's to squeeze us in so we could be out by 10 and he did.
The Birdcage was fab. None of us had been before so didn't know what to expect but it went down well with the whole group.
All in all a brilliant weekend and we couldn't have done it with out your help.
I'd recommend Stag and Hen Manchester to anyone.
Photo wise I'll see what I can sort and perhaps add them to your Facebook page. I didn't take that many so i'll see what I can get off the others!
Thank you again,
BethBeth from Cheshire 09 Feb 2011
I would like to thank you for arranging my hen party, It was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. i am still really tired and think everyone else is suffering (the sign of a good night)
Every part of the hen weekend exceeded my expectations from the hotel through to the free entry to Tiger Tiger.
Altogether there was 13 of us and It wouldn't have ran that smoothly without you organising it.
I found that both Mike and Sharon were very professional people and made the process easy to understand and catered to our requirements. Both the proposal and itinerary were clear and precise. I would recommend Stag and Hen Manchester to anyone wishing for a top class company to arrange their weekend.Melanie from Redditch 13 Feb 2011
Fantastic service and delivery of details which made the hassle of organising a hen do so much easier. Great time had by all in our party and would strongly recommend 'Stag and Hen Manchester' to anyone wanting to book a party.Louise from Rugeley 12 Feb 2011
We had a fantastic time thank you, we thought everything was wonderfully organised and no stress on us or me as the organiser!!
The spa was very relaxing and we were very impressed with the hotel it was beautiful. We also had a great night out in manchester.
Thank you for organising this for us i would definitely recommend your company and thank you for constantly keeping me updated with the planning of the event and changes to itinery etc, also thank you for replying to my e mails rapidly i was surprised when you replied to my e mail at 12.30am! you seem to work non stop!
I would like to book another trip very similiar to this one with all the girls from work near christmas time so you will be hearing from me again.
Thank you
We had a fab time i don't know where to to start to say how excellent the whole weekend was excellent from start finish.Sam from Prestatyn 10 Feb 2011
The girls loved the personal touch with the envelopes and little notes, the VIP in bird cage was brilliant we all felt so special I will be more than happy to write a testimonial for you and your company as you were so nice to us and went out of your way to help .It was brilliant can't thank you enough.
My hens and I had a great time! Hard rock was great & staff was really nice. It was also great that everything was prepaid.
The birdcage was fun and I loved the gift I got on arrival. We brought one round of drinks then we discovered cocktail on tap drink which was round £30 and did bout 15 cocktails. I think the best part of the night was the birdcage.
Rachael From Milton Keynes 12 Feb 2011
What an absolutely fantastic Hen Do. Top marks for the cocktail masterclass at the Hard Rock, it was so much fun and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Staff at the Hard Rock were great and got us all behind the bar. Fantastic. Thanks so much.
We had such a fab time, the cocktail class was a stroke of genius. We all absolutely loved it. And we were there about 3 hours so defo got our moneys worth!!Emma from Rawtenstall 10 Feb 2011
The service and the contact from Mike and Sharon was absolutely excellent. All of the information was sent in a very timely manner and contained everything that you wanted to know – I honestly couldn't have asked for better support. My calls were answered or returned very quickly, nothing was ever too much trouble and you totally reflected my needs as a customer in your response and dialogue – absolutely first class! Happy to be a testimonal case as I am so very impressed!
Overall the day was absolutely superb and most enjoyable and stress free to manage – all down to MS&H. I'm in the good books with my sister-in-law-to-be and this was my main aim – thank you, thank you, thank youClare from Tamworth 11 Feb 2011
Hello - I would like to say thankyou so much to you all for organising a fantastic weekend! It ran like clock work...literally!Lucy from Altrincham 15 Feb 2011
We checked straight into the hotel at 10am, which made such a difference. The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable and in a great location…a real wow factor when we arrived (even Aston Villa were staying here). The only thing missing was a bottle of bubbly to start the day (that's me being cheeky! But a thought for future events).
Then bang on time the taxi arrived to the Chill factor. We thought, 11am was early to be picked up, but actually it gave us chance for coffee & early lunch….which may not have had chance for otherwise. I then had to put on a bright pink fluorescent vest! No one missed me on the slopes! It was hilarious. The Chill factor experience has something for everyone and of all abilities – great to be big kids for an hour! They were really relaxed with us, so we were able to chop & change which event we did….nearly everyone had a go at the lugging in the end.
It was then time for a quick hot chocolate to warm up before the taxi (again on time) drove us back to Manchester. With a quick hot shower, we strolled down to Revolution…..now wearing a posh frock, pink fluorescent vest & tiara!
A lovely surprise of a glass on bubbly and a cheeky shot of Raspberry vodka….not expected at all Then we went down to our private bar for some giggles. The barman was super; he made such a difference and deserves a special thankyou. No broken bottles or glasses….amazingly! But I turned out to be a dab hand at cocktail making…..a surprising talent! Some interesting flavours, sticky fingers (mainly deliberate) and some fabulous drinks made. Revolution did not hold back on the quality or quantity of alcohol. Then a lovely touch was some food (needed!) and a choice of cocktail each. We had 3 hours of fun there….it flew by.
We then rolled back to the hotel to put on our glad rags (some to have a power nap!) and then out for dinner. Albert's shed is a lovely location and added some class to the day. They were really welcoming and accommodating there. The place was a little noisy, but we added to that! The majority had tasty, good sized portioned food but a couple didn't (barely warm & a little bland, poor wine) but the rest of us were very happy.
We then had a lovely lazy morning and enjoyed the hearty breakfast & hotel facilities before checking out. We then headed off to the Hilton. It had a real WOW factor for the girls. The food was lovely and plenty of it too, a delightful glass of bubbly but they accommodated us all very well (including those with dietary requirements). They were happy for us to natter away, look at views and we had a couple of hours of real good gossip & catching up, gifts of pampering kits & photo frames filled with photos of me & friends….it was great. I'm going to take the two Mums there after the wedding.
I'm still smiling now at how well it went and the fun that we had….and will be for a long time. We had comfort knowing that we could phone any of you to help solve a problem…even better that we didn't need to. It will be a weekend to remember for all of us for the rest of our lives.
If we get some good photos, Katie & I will pass them on to you……there are some very funny ones!
Love and best wishes
Lucy x
Thanks for a lovely weekend the hotel was wonderful, the cocktail masterclass broke the ice and the nightlife passes made our night out at the Printworks great fun and hassle free! I would definitely recommend you to my friends.Katie from Wigan 12 Feb 2011
I had a fantastic weekend. Your customer service is fantastic and I always felt like I was in good hands and that support was there if needed.Janelle from Hull 10 Feb 2011
GL14 was fabulous; we practically had the full spa to ourselves. The woman who welcomed us really looked after us and made us feel very special. Many of my friends commented on how their treatments were one of the best they have ever had. The lunch was perfect and we were very pleased they allowed us to have our pink bubbly and even kept it chilled for us! The hotel was good, not luxury but perfect for our needs as we only needed to get ready and sleep in it! The breakfast the next day was lovely and freshly cooked for each and every one of us.
Apart from that we have a fantastic weekend. Manchester was fantastic and I am very pleased we chose it for our fun.
Thank you for all your help and support. By all means you may take any pictures from my face book from the Hen do for your needs.
It was a brilliant weekend thank you and the raft building was amazing I don't think me and the girls have had such a laugh like that In a long time and tom our instructor was awesome well he had to be to put up with us even though Suzy almost chucked him in and Fay with the pole dancing that was funny to she has a wicked sense of humour but overall it was amazing thank youSam from Guernsey 11 Feb 2011
I had a fantastic night!!Amy from Bolton 11 Feb 2011
The whole experience from start to finish was second to none, Mike and Sharon are very helpful do everything they can to make your weekend enjoyable, we had the best time in Manchester and this was all down to the service they provided, i would definately use you again.
Sara from Cardiff 10 Feb 2011

It was, from the start, a dangerous experiment. Charles I of England was a Protestant, the fifteen-year-old French princess a Catholic. The marriage was arranged for political purposes, and it seemed a mismatch of personalities. But against the odds, the reserved king and his naively vivacious bride fell passionately in love, and for ten years England enjoyed an era of peace and prosperity. When Charles became involved in war with Puritan Scotland, popular hatred of Henrietta's Catholicism roused Parliament to fury. As the opposition party embraced new values of liberty and republicanism--the blueprint for the American War of Independence and the French Revolution--Charles's fears for his wife's safety drove him into a civil war that would cost him his crown and his head. Rejecting centuries of hostile historical tradition, prize-winning biographer Katie Whitaker uses a host of original sources--including many unpublished manuscripts and letters--to create an intimate portrait of a remarkable marriage.

Live Disk Security?
I stuck in a live linux CD - Slacko - ordered some new checks online (1 box = 150 checks probly last till 2022) and they coughed up a confirmation with all my numbers etc and said print it. Print it? I just copied it then stored it in root then openend sda1 and copied it to My Docs, removed the CD (w/o saving), rebooted to W/XP, looked in My Docs and there it is. Numbers and all. Well where is the insulation supposedly provided by a live linux CD?
When any Linux distro is installed on a PC that also has Windows, people typically partition the hard drive to separate files of the two worlds. I say typically, not always, and it isn't necessary to do. They can co-exist on one partition.
You say you used a live disk on an XP machine, so that's just a temporary state from the boot disk. Any files saved only have one place to go, as you found out.
I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish. All Linux distros have comprehensive forums and support sites; you won't find much Linux expertise here.

Jury Deliberates For Eighth Day In Edwards Trial
Originally published on Wed May 30, 2012 5:47 pm
The jury in the John Edwards trial deliberated for an eighth day on Wednesday. The panel has asked for little guidance as it debates the fate of the two-time former presidential candidate. Edwards is accused of soliciting almost a million dollars from a pair of wealthy donors to cover up his pregnant mistress. Jeff Tiberii of North Carolina Public Radio talks to host Melissa Block from the Federal Courthouse in Greensboro.

State System
Federal Functional Classification vs. State Functional Classification
Federal functional classification guidelines are used in functionally classifying Virginia roadways.
However, Virginia currently also uses other classifications.
State administrative-funding classifications are used to refer to the state primary, secondary and urban systems.
The state functional classification parallels the federal system, except the state system does not include non-existing roadways.
The percentage thresholds used by the Federal Highway Administration are slightly modified and federal major collectors are classified as minor arterials in the state system.
Virginia has applications that use the federal system in mixture with the state administrative systems.
One example is distributing maintenance funds for urban and urbanized area localities that undertake maintenance responsibility in their jurisdiction.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: universities
This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Building even a basic sandcastle requires more science than you may think, from the basics of geology to chemistry. Here, two experts—one the Guinness World Record-holder for the tallest sandcastle, and the other a professional sculptor—break it down for the casual constructor.
Base Building: "For small to mid-sized castles, I find any bucket with a few holes poked in the bottom allows for the best 'flip and fill' bases," says Ed Jarrett, Guinness World Record holder for the tallest sandcastle and a professional sculptor based in Hartford, CT. "If you would like something a little larger, roofing tar paper that is cut to the preferred size and then duct-taped together works great. You fill it with small amounts of alternating sand and water and use your fingers to pack and mix the sand as you go. Once filled, let the mixture sit for a while to allow water to drain. Then remove paper and start sculpting and/or decorating."
Sculpting Tools: Creating sandcastles is all about using inexpensive tools that you can find around your house or at a store. "A palette art knife (found in most craft stores) with a bent handle is great for carving," says Meredith Corson, professional sculptor and co-owner of Sanding Ovations, based in Treasure Island, FL. "We always use little measuring spoons to scoop out curves and holes." Jarrett advises using some tools you probably already have in your picnic basket: "Plastic spoons and forks work for some minor digging out of windows and doors, as well as adding texture."
The secret to a standout sandcastle is in the details. "Pay attention to detail; it can make a huge difference in how your castle looks," Corson says. "Be creative by adding stairs or windows." Jarrett recommends naming the castle or creating a story about who might have lived there.
Best Sand for Building: Sand that is filled with silt and sediments is the best kind. To test your sand, make a snowball or a "sandball," as Corson calls it: Pack sand and water together as if you were making a snowball. "If the sand stays together, that's good sand," she explains. Even better: "Take the 'sandball' and throw it up in [the] air and catch it—if it doesn't crack, it's good sand."
Water, Water, and More Water: You can never have too much water when it comes to sandcastle making: Each grain of sand needs to be saturated in water in order for the sand to stick together. "When packing the sand, you want to have enough water to thoroughly mix the sand so it looks like wet cement or toothpaste," Jarrett advises.
Decorating: Look to your own natural surroundings for decorating inspiration. "I really like using all-natural items," Jarrett says. "Tree bark is a favorite for doors, window shutters, and suspended walkways from one turret to another, as well as the drawbridge. A small twig with a small shell on top makes for a great flag," he says. "Walk on the beach and collect shells, feathers, and seaweed," Corson suggests.
Parent Involvement: Bouncing ideas around is a good way to keep kids motivated. "Positive encouragement of creativity is a great way for parents to become involved," Jarrett says. "Parents should be there to support and encourage creative repairs should something fall apart during construction."

The Development and Growth of the Cruise Industry
Butterworth-Heinemann, 1999 - Business & Economics - 303 pages
'I believe this book will be a benefit to all those who are involved in, or are interested in, the cruise industry'
David Dingle, Commercial and Corporate Director P&O Cruises
* The first overall study of the industry
* Looks at the practical aspects but is underpinned by theory
* Focuses on sociological aspects to explain the current growth
Cruises are traditionally thought of as luxury holidays for the pampered few but 'The Development and Growth of the Cruise Industry' exposes the myth and gives readers an understanding of their importance in the travel market. The book covers the various types of cruises (fly cruising, cruise & stay, special interest cruises for example), the types of ships (design to green issues) and the motivation of passengers (quality versus price). It takes a forward looking approach assessing trends, past 2000 with the probable polarisation of the market, its growth prospects and potential limiting factors.
Cruising in context; A history of cruising; Market aspects; Cruising areas; Design philosophies; The economics of cruising; Anatomy of a cruise; The ecology of cruising; Niche cruising; The future.
This book is ideal for 2nd and 3rd year Tourism Undergraduates, HNC, BTEC and HND Travel and Tourism Students. As one of the first academic books on the subject it will also give tourism practitioners a real understanding of the issues and practicalities involved.

Andrew Bird
Appropriately enough, Noble Beast, the latest recording by Chicago's Andrew Bird (on tour with Loney, Dear), boasts some notably avian moments: "Fitz and the Dizzyspells" is among the tracks that feature whistling, and "Masterswarm" includes simulated birdsong that may or may not have been created by a theremin. But Bird doesn't treat these elements as aural novelties. Rather, they're incorporated in a sound design that's often busy but never feels overcrowded. The melodies lope along breezily, requesting attention instead of demanding it, and Bird seldom raises his voice. He warbles far more often than he belts, rightfully confident in the allure of subtlety, and his lyrics display a verbosity and intellectual curiosity befitting song titles such as "Tenuousness" and "Nomenclature." Not that his material is entirely benign. Although he declares in "Oh, No" that "we are harmless sociopaths," his tunes are more than capable of leaving a mark — and of taking flight.

And I'm in love with the set design, especially on Broadway - the cogs and mechanics of it all as the scenes change are so important to the story of the show, and there's something you really lose in that in the touring productions, for obvious reasons. I've seen the show 3 times now (once in NY and the two times it's come to Boston since) and I burst into tears during Defying Gravity every.single.time. Such an amazing and powerful song in such a fantastic show. I'm glad you liked it, can't wait for more! And cool to see I have first subscriber honors
