| JadedRed Model  Location United Kingdom Essex | Hey ya'all Would anyone be interested in having a laidback groupshoot/day out/social gathering in Southend anytime soon? Iwas thinking of arranging something if there is enough interest, somemodels and photographers and i reckon i can drag some stylists along.We could start at Old Leigh for some naturally, fashiony, beachy shotsthen walk along the beach to Southend, grab some lunch, maybe do someswimwear if there are any models or photographers interested and thenfinish later in the day with something fun and bright among the brightlights and beeping noises of Southend until we gradually all sneak awayin to the pub one by one. If anyone has a preference forparticular days we can try to see what is best although we probablywant to get it out of the way before the school holidays start, i haveno idea when that is but i would guess next month. Oh and you would be required to pay for your own candy floss, cockles and slot machines. Whoknows maybe we could get some cool pictures, maybe we wont, maybe i'llbankrupt myself in the arcades and end up sleeping on the streets, ooohthe excitement of not knowing. |

Whilst I normally hate group shoots and avoid them, this would just be a fun day out for me so why not. If I'm in the mood for it I might even take some blurry crappy snaps on my toy cam.  |

| blipdesign Photographer  Location United Kingdom London Nr Wimbledon | This could work out ideally for me depending on dates because I can stay with friends. Couple of date suggestions: How about the weekend of 24th/25th July? Gives time to gather victims and get ducks in a row? The childhood memory of that lovely goopy mud makes me think I could finally investigate my 'messy' mono clay shoot - anyone up for an hour of mud slinging? Mmm, I'm worried I'm going to have to revisit a childhood torment of spending all my pocket money trying to pick up a gawdamn teddy by the head with an arthritic crane. The claw, THE CLAW! |

| squodge Photographer | I'd be up for a beach meet-up/shoot, I'm more likely to indulge in candy floss than taking pictures... but ladies in vintage pin-up style beach poses might persuade me convincingly! ~ squodge ~ |

The claw, THE CLAW! Am i the only person who tried that once and then realised you cant win and gave up? At the moment the 27th June is seeming one of the better options, i'm worried if we leave it later than the first week of July we are going to get the school holiday traffic. |

Shucks... if it's 27th June, rather than July, then I won't be able to attend as I'll be up north. |

| seanb Photographer  Location United Kingdom Essex Leigh on Sea | Quote from JadedRed Am i the only person who tried that once and then realised you cant win and gave up? I don't know if it's true, but I was once told those things are set to limit the number of times they pay out. They do that by varying the strength with which the claw grips; so, say, one in four times it might grip strongly enough to pick the toy up. Playing them once or twice therefore might make it easier for the next person, but if you keep playing you'll almost certainly get the teddy bear eventually, and only at three or four times the price of actually buying one... |

| simonpaul Photographer  Location United Kingdom Essex Chafford Hundred | I'm up for that - and free on 27/06. As for the claw - my son used to play on one in Florida that seemed stupidly easy - it "paid out" almost 100% of the time - little cuddly toys. It must have been broken - but her literally got sick of the cuddly toys... |

| JadedRed Model  Location United Kingdom Essex | Okay according to the council websites the end of the summer term is 22nd July so if its better we could try and make it the 11th July. Basically i'll go with whatever is most popular 27th June or 11th July. |
