Lendalfoot on the Ayrshire coast became a popular destination in the latter years of the Spaghetti & Quiche Houseparty Tour. The centre was snuggly tucked between the sea and the main A77 truck road - meaning that Wide Games were likely to end up with someone either very wet or mown down by the Glasgow-Belfast Express Coach (I don't think we did actually lose anyone to the latter but our admin' was very poor - so who knows).
A 'highlight' of the 1991 Houseparty was the problem solving event on the beach (left). Another bonus at Lendalfoot was being in the vicinity of where the notorious cannibal family of Sawney Bean used to live - which was a great basis for the Friday night ghost story. Finally those who remember David Campbell's famous 'Captain Clean-up's Clean Down Operation' speech will be pleased to know that Dave was able to walk again around 1998.

some memories from Lendalfoot houseparty... I'm not sure if these three incidents were in the same year but they have the same theme of unnessary violence running through them, which is nice.
the first is watching Colin Campbell and Ronald Knak knocking lumps out of each other during a wide game...more torn t-shirts than a bon jovi video. Secondly, a bit of a scramash in the playground while playing football. Peter Dawson is set upon by about ten guys in a friendly manner but Hunter whacks the ball into the group and it smacks Pete's face...who in turn turns round and starts giving me a doing (tries to!!) because he thought I hooked him. Lastly, Dawson is involved again. Big pile up on Colin McLeod for no particular reason. As the crowd disperses Peter is spotted (it's all on video) giving a flying kick to Colin's nose - a beautiful job.
