The Second and last Jack Wills Formal Friday of the year!!!

I woke on Friday 26th March and I could tell from that light coming into my room that it was not good weather... Popping my head outside the window, confirmed my suspicions. It was a white-out. God was truly against us once again.

I headed to work with contingency plans in my head of how this day would pan out. I was thinking the Moris may come to our rescue once again. I had a few hours of admin to do before I met up with the reps (well penny) and the Jack Wills boys who had come out (Jonno and Freddie).

We started building a game plan. The weather was terrible, so we called off the Folie Douce. We thought we would focus our efforts at Dicks in the evening and try and just publicize the night ahead at apres at the Moris. So put all the banners up in the club and then I sent Penny to put the Jack Wills flags on the roof.

We heard a screeeeech from the roof.... "Its clearing". We all ran outside to see that clouds were clearing and it had become a glorious day. We were back in business... la Folie was back on.

I headed home, got changed and then headed up in the bubble. The view from my cabin was goooooood



When we arrived at the top, Jonno and I put up some flags at the entrance of the bar. It was quiet at the time but it was early. I knew the place would fill up in time.



The Folie Douce was trying its hardest and even tried to lure people in with flares and smoke.



Formal people started turning up...



And Emily finally did some work...



The place then started to fill up and so we gave out some Jack Wills seasonnaire beanies to the crowd. Jonno led the charge.



Its a little bit like Where's Walley but I count 26 JW beanies in this one shot



Some old friends turned up



and so did the regulars



The rosé flowed (as usual) and so did the JW beanies



But at 5:00pm the music turns off and we head down the mountain. We headed to the Moris for a bit of Mike & Ritchie. As usual they played a blinder and as usual "We had a lot of fun"...





After apres we all went our seperate ways and then met up later in Dicks to continue the Formal Friday in style. Jack Wills had supplied some DJs for the evening and so J. Hannaford and Flyte Mode rocked the house down with a mixture of Dub, Electro and Tech House all night long.



Later that night we announced the winner of our video competition and it was Lucinda that walked away with the 650€ in cash. Well done!!!



A fun night was had by all and many people walked away with pairs of JW pants or beanies. This is their last giveaway for the season but watch out for the giveaways we'll be doing next year.

Thanks... Until next time.
