11^th Birthday Social    

Well our official 11^th Birthday is February 2^nd 2007 but as the hall was booked on that date we booked Saturday 20^th January.

We had a superb night with groups from Christine (Stompers) Roy Thompson’s group and Carol Bradley’s crowd, and of course our own crowd who supported us well.

We had a massive amount of requests and apart from the first two dances every dance played had been requested, with virtually full floors on every dance. The only demo was Nev & Julie’s “Hey Muchacha” with Carol & Tina giving a great show right through the dance. I should be ashamed of myself for not joining in as we learnt it in Doncaster between Christmas & New Year but to be honest I had drunk so much by then I didn’t have a clue LOL

The Quiz was won by Carol’s group (I think) after a tie break Question as 3 tables all got 57 out of 61

Tie break question – how long to the nearest foot was the train on Jordans wedding dress ??

Answer was 27ft and the nearest guess was 25 ft.

The Charity raffle raised £41 which we made up to £50 and the money was donated to

WHITEOAK RESPITE CENTRE

This is a respite centre for Adults with learning disabilities and other mental / Physical problems. The centre (and 99% of all others) receive no money from ANY of the mental health Charities as they all target children’s centres. Unfortunately the disability does not go away when you turn 18. A receipt for the money is below.

A very big Thank-you to all that turned up and supported us and made it a fantastic night, we have been asked by many people if we will do more dances like this. We did speak to the manager last Tuesday at class and this may be a possibility, we will let you all know.
