About Our Latest Event

Well that went really well, what a weekend, we are all exhausted.

Because the room we normally use only holds 70 people we have decided to move rooms, so new room and new layout/stage etc, we used the Plantation suite as our weekends are becoming so popular we had 100 people.  This meant that we had exclusive use of this room for all our meals, dancing, workshops etc and it couldn’t have gone better with the excellent staff as always looking after us and making sure everything ran smoothly in between changing tableware etc.

We had the excellent Crystal Boot Award Winner as in Karl Harry Winson for the whole weekend in charge of the DJ ing on both nights in between our artists and for the workshops both mornings as well.

Friday night we had the ever so talented Derek Darby Magill entertaining us with his great voice and fabulous character singing all the old favourites and lots of new ones too. No one wanted to leave.

Rory Oneill was our artist for the Saturday night and again with his excellent singing and gutar playing kept the floor full all night. Again noone wanted to leave.

Karl did an excellent job both Saturday and Sunday mornings teaching us some great new dances

Dances taught

• Dangerous Games

• Jazz it up

• Role Model

We put decorations balloons etc up on the Friday morning ready for Friday night with pre dinner drinks to get the evening started and for everyone to get to know each other better.

The floor was big enough for everyone to have space to dance and was full of dancers on both nights and the morning workshops were full too.

Friday night we did the Irish Bingo raising money for our charity this year Guide Dogs for the Blind in memory of one of our valued and long serving friend Pat Coombes who we all miss. The dance floor is not the same without her Irish wit and laughter.

Saturday night we had our theme which was the 70’s and everyone made a huge effort, some of the costumes were brilliant.

We also had a raffle adding more money to our charity.

So another successful weekend with great staff at The Marsham Hotel with great artists great choreographer and a group of excellent dancers all ready to do it all again in September.

We have so much interest that we are going to carry on using the Plantation room for future weekends so we can accommodate everyone. We have booked our dates right through to 2028 when we will have been doing these weekends for 20 years something to celebrate.

All in all a wonderful time was had by all and we are now looking forward to our weekend in September at The Marsham Court Hotel.
