We spent the Season's End Party of the year 2005 in a pleasant atmosphere. Some of us arrived at Friday, others only Saturday morning. Till night there was about 50-60 persons ready to party. The weather wasn't so good, it was quite chilly. But this wasn't enough for us to lose our good mood! A little music and some glasses of drink kept us warm. A loads of people helped to cook a lamb goulash. We had dinner, we had a few drinks, we danced, so we felt good! We also distributed a questionnaire about Sziki. Our goal was to collect the guests' opinions. Soon you can find it on our website. Hopefully you will fill it too!

We are counting on You on the Season's Opening Party on April 29, 2006!

 

2005.08.20 - Shooting Stars Night

On Saturday, mainly spontaneously, we had a party. It all started, as usual by now, with the karaoke. At first, the little ones had shown their ability and performing talent. We heard solo performances (from Emese and Timi), as well as duets from Csilla and Lilla. After these, a real master of the ?karaoke genre had liven up the atmosphere with his stunning performance of  rock-n-roll hits of the 70-s and 80-s.

Gabesz had come with, I 've got to admit, brilliant idea of making a camp-fire. Soon afterwards, the woods were burning, and the fire was surrounded by people of all nationalities. The German Lothar played the guitar, Rob from the Netherlands plucked the strings of  his benjo accompanied by the sounds of a  harmonica made by the Hungarian Sanyi (?) We listened to the music, we sang along while staring at the dark, crystal-clear night sky counting the shooting starts. We haven't forget that this was the night with the second largest meteorit falling of the year!

So, we competed against each other for the title of "The One Who Counted More Shooting Stars" !

 

2005.08.07 - Saturday

The karaoke-party continues with the same success among our camping guests!
For this reason we announced an other competition for the professionals and amateurs as well!
The Dutch Carolina was the winner among the grown-ups. She stepped in a few minutes before her turn to choose her song. Even under these circumstances she charmed the audience!
The second was Margó with an autenthical Hungarian gipsy song. For the third place Lothar and Rob had ferocious fight. The juries had a difficult task having two professionals musicians among the competitors.
Among the children Marloes had become third with her imitation of Britney Spears. The second was the trio of Csilla, Lilla, Timi. The 7 years old Emese became first having an excellent performance!
As usual the karaoke ended with long- lasting dance party!
To be continued on 20th of August...

July 31, 2005 - Sunday

At 1 p.m. in the terrific heat the ceremonial prize-giving started. We kept it near the beach, in the children's sand-player which was protected of the sun. The first ones stepping on the podium were the children. After that we awarded the grown-ups as well as individuals and members of a team.  WE tried to make as short as possible, but the number of the participants didn't allow it.  We, the organizers, just like the viewers  jumped into the lake. We awarded the leaders of the games, as well as the captains of the teams.

The challenge cup was given to the non-Szeged-residents once again. The seconds were the group of Szeged. The third place was occupied by the Foreigners team!

Congratulations to all!

See you next year in  the same place and in the same time!

July 30, 2005 - Saturday

We awoke once again to an incredibly hot day. The heatwave raged. So, we organized the adult swimming championship in the morning. Among the males the winner was a man from the Netherlands, while in female category a non- Szeged -resident Hungarian woman won. Before this the grown-ups had  the possibility to show their ability in the high-jump and in long-jump. The participants had jump to/over incredible distance/highs! Congratulations for their achievements and for their persistence!

This was followed by the proof of the stamina: the push ups.

In the afternoon the beer - drinking competition got started. The main idea of it is: who is able to drink a bottle of beer with a nipple. The winner was Ricky from Florida.

The body-painting competition was the next event. We have to admit, the juries task was extremely difficult!  One work was more beautiful and more artistic than the another. We had seen Dance of Fire, Zebra, Garden of Flowers, Pumukli and even the Day and the Night stepped by. The winner was the reproduction of  van Gogh's painting intitulated Sunflowers.  Congratulation!

At the end of the day we had a disco as a closing of the Sportsweek

July 29, 2005 - Friday

Friday is for children in the Sportsweek!

We organized competitions for children in two phases. From 10 a.m. the 100 m running got started. Even one or two years old children did compete. Although they stood in their parents arms, who had run the distance this way. The next one was the long-jump. The winner in "children under the age of 10 years" category was Attila with an almost 3 m jump! From the category "above the age of 10" the winner was Pepyn from the Netherlands. This was followed by the push-ups and the high-jump. Both the little and the older children were doing the task very good!

After a little break the swimming competition took place near the buoy, in the shallow water. Everybody enjoyed it in the enormous heat of 36° C!

We continued after 5 p.m. The first was the Mini Sziki Sumo. The fights were strong. Only difference to real Sumo: Nobody could lift his or her opponent at his/her belt out of the ring, because obviously there was none!

At apple eating which is far from being easy everyone did his/her best to eat the hanging apples without touching them. The most persistent was little Maya, who didn't wanted to give up eating her apple, even though the winner was already announced!

A new event was followed by this: the ice-spitting! The main idea of it is: who is able to spit further an ice cube. There were a few funny scene, when some ice cubes weren't willing to leave the participants mouth!

Today's most popular game was the throwing of the balloons filled with water. The pairs had to throw towards each other while walking backwards to opposite directions. Of course, with the remaining balloons a war get started!

The day ended with an arm wrestling competition both for adults and children.

At night we will continue with the karaoke, hoping that its success would be similar to the last one! We may discover some Megastars!

July 28, 2005 - Thursday

Last night's Karaoke ended in a tremendous party, that lasted till 4 a.m. We had seen professional shows from participants of all nations. We had heard Rolling Stones hits, as well as songs from Charley and Irígy Hónaljmirigy. There were individual numbers as well as duos.

The competition took place in the tent. It was really hot in there, because at least three dozen people were in! We had torn water on each other, and danced till dawn.

This day started hard.

The weather was extremely hot. We had to postpone the sports -events till the afternoon.

They got started at 3 p.m.

The first competition was the heavy ball throwing. As usual everyone wanted to subscribe minutes before the event. Important is that the teams were represented!

In the ladies category the winner was Müller Bea with an 8,1 m throw! Among the man Laci was proven to be the best with his 12,5 m score!

We continued with some programs for the little ones.  There was hullahopp ring- spinning, running in bags and the still very popular bread and jam eating. Just like last year for those who were interested in Engi Laci had presented the benefits of the Brain Control on the beach.

 After 7 p.m. some movies were projected with English and Dutch subtitles.

July 27, 2005 - Wednesday

Even in the early morning the weather was hot. This made a bit difficult the 5000 m runners task. The age of the participants varied between 11 and 68 years. At half way we were expecting the competitors with refreshments. They were truly needed.

The blue ribbon of the 1st place was given to Joris Lucas, who represented the foreigner's team. Engi Tamás from Szeged arrived only with a slightly 2 seconds afterwards. The third place is occupied by Guti Ferenc. Herczeg Niki, a 14 years old girl, had run in the grown-ups category. She finished the race with an outstanding time! The scheduled events had been postponed until afternoon because of the extremely hot weather. The table-tennis, the turul, and the chess tournaments were continued .At 3 p.m. the Trabant-pushing got started. Navigators were needed. A Hungarian fellow and the well-known Jack from Holland accepted the challenge. As an additional weight he took with himself a couple of beers. The fastest was Jaapi. We kept on with the tug-of-war of the adults. The three teams competed against each other in two categories: women and men. In both category the non-in-Szeged-resident team had won. After a little break the field-running got started. Szeged's team did not show much enthusiasm so Orsi, the organizer, stepped into to earn some points!

The day ended with a Karaoke-competition.

July 26, 2005 - Tuesday

When we woke up, the sun was shining brightly. At midday the temperature rose up to 30 degree. Under the willow-trees in the cold shadow the petanque (Bachie Ball) was started.

The table tennis competition and the chess tournament continued today.

Under the guidance of Soma the billiard games were started.

The children had already finished the turul games. Tomorrow will come the adults chance to prove their ability.

The enthusiastic guests helped to build a field for feet tennis. We brought in turns the cooling refreshments in the form of beer. This helped the working process. There is not much work left. Keep the faith, guys!

For our guests, who were hungry for some movements, the badminton championship was announced. Both the children and the grown-ups subscribed to various sports.

There was a 12 years old boy who requested to be moved into the adults- category. His reason was that he is almost a professional in badminton.

Good luck to everyone!

Those Hungarians who live outside Szeged are led once again by Herczeg Fecó and Bathári Pisti. They go into the battle with the name: Pudding Beaters

The leaders of the foreigner Guests are Berry Lucas and Lothar Mosbach. Their name is Golden Pineapple.

After the technical/administrative parts were presented Orsi, Marika, Gyöngyi along with Lilla and Csilla sang a song intitulated "A little movement is needed by everyone...". Lilla kept a little warm-up.

As last year we organised the "Dutch Welcome Party" this year too, it was even more succesful than we had waited.

Every family prepared with a short performance. We could see singing, the husbands caricatured the Rippel acrobats, the wives played the events of  the night before as a short scene.

Two kind guests showed a production which surpassed Uri Geller: they could hold an iron, a ladle and a  pan on their chest, without any cheating.

The synchronous swimmers induced the spectators to a night swimming with their performance.

During the performances delicious meals and drinks waited the guests.

After the dinner there was a great party with dancing till dawn, which we will hopefully continue during the Sport Week as well.

 

 

29.05.2005.  Children's Day in Sziki

This year the Children's Day was fantastic: nevertheless a wonderful weather waited the little and the bigger ones, but they could try themselves in many events. The warm weather had only one disatvantage, the children hardly wanted to leave the water to take part in games they had already applied for earlier. This was the situation with the snooker as well. Fortunately sooner or later everybody became a passionate player. In the morning there were handicraft occupations,  the girls were spinning and making strings. Later we could jitter during the relay race. Jumping on one leg and the bicycle drag race were very funny. One of the favourites was throwing balloons filled with water which was finished with a big battle in which everybody took part. Playing captain-ball was also very popular, although the sand of the ground was very hot so the kids had to jump fastly. Considering the hot weather we postponed some planned programs, for example the playing with puppets and the "who knows what" game. The high light of the day was the "trabant" (an old type of car) painting. The kids enjoyed this the most, everybody could show its artistic sence. Since then the painted trabi is the ornament of the camp. The Children's Day was finished with the announcement of results. Every participant left with some present, from which the ice cream caused the biggest pleasure. We hope the Children's Day of the Sport Week will be similar.

 

 05.05.2005.

It's a shame that I haven't written of the Sziki Opening Party yet, but I've just begun to recover myself from the cultural shock (as well).
Although who didn't take part at the Party, deserves to have itching ears what could have happened there.
 
- we had an extremely good weather, we could use the natourist beach properly, the entering was free of charge
 - we greeted everybody with a welcome-drink, till some time I was able to take part at the reception
- naturally the caravan owners were working, cleaning, repairing etc. all day
- Misi waited the guests with new delicacies in the new open-air kitchen
- we set up a big temporary tent of 90 m2 to the place of the future wooden house. There is a playing room for children, a training room, studio, TV, Internet usage, newspapers, books, tables and seats for bad weather in the tent
- we set up cameras in the outside parking, we transhipped the bouncer to the other side of the lake, behind the reed, and renewed the toilets as well
- we have already begun to blow up the water games (a big disc with trampoline, shark-ship), and Attila is just putting together a small water slide for the children
- this year more caravan can be rented on the spot
- our new buffet attendant's name is Anett, and the new receptionist is Judit. Szabó Gergely (Gery) became the beach-guard and gardener.
- After the usual Happy New Year wishes, everybody began to enjoy the early summer, so I hope everybody had a great time.
 
We look forward to see everybody this year, too!
