Take one Variety Club Sunshine Coach, one careful driver (thanks Bill!), one adept organiser (cheers Steve!), one happy couple (congratulations Mark and Cam!), and about 15 lovely friends, and a slightly wet and windy (we'd have it no other way, which is a bit of luck because it rarely is) seaside resort, and you've got the ingredients for a fantastic weekend!

We did it all. And I can hardly remember any of it. I'll leave it for you lot to use the loved-it feature below to remind us of your favourite anecdotes from the weekend.

Within this random selection of images you'll find the rebranding of the minibus - twice, the journey, the pier where Mark and Cam were refused photographic services on the grounds of bad taste (personally I don't blame that little photographic place - I mean you wouldn't want to lower the tone. Although I'm reliably informed that the week before that very same pier was taken over as part of the Pride weekend...) you'll find some random bar shots that should probably be in another photo story somewhere else but which have ended up here, and no doubt you'll find lots of photos that no-one can remember taking...

You'll need to check REALBlackpool.com for photos from Funny Girls, Federation at Flamingos and the Pleasure Beach pics...
