Well I've had a seven hour drive back to Manchester to think over last night and discuss with Helen, my dance partner. Having read the previous posting I find a lot to agree with then, especialy Bill and Fran's .... and don't really thinks its helpful to harp on ... except for one point (maybe referred to previously). .... a lot of southenrs made great efforts to get to Glasgow (well over 50 I believe) and I feel they were given a distored view of what a fun place it is. I think that it would be 'nice(?)' to recover the image which has now been tarnished.

One example to put it in perspective ... one of the senior Blitz instructors was teaching a workshop in Darlington during Sat. He drove all the way to Glasgow with his partner ... got there at 9 ... managed to fight in about half a dozen dances ... then left by 12 to drive all the way back to Manchester .... for whom I feel especially dissapointed.

Right Two points I need to get off my chest ... and these are not Devils Advocate points ... these are two points that achieved something pretty rare for a ceroc event ... they actualy made me ANGRY.

1) What the hell happened to common sense and floorspace ettiquette??? :reallymad If there isn't enough room on the dancefloor .... YOU DON'T GET ON IT!! I cant remember the last time I have had so many idiots throwing themselves and/or their partner into me and my partner. Ask the Tramp ... he was having to execute self defence moves to stop one particular twerp blasting into his partner

2) Similar ... but my main contention .... what possessed those morons to do airsteps??? I saw at least three guys doing them when there wasn't room to do an armjive. They know who they are ... I could name names but I won't. I've got a fair idea what should be done to them BUT ... its not my venue ..... though I know from other comments that a lycnhing party was in the offing at one point. For those that have a view ... see the poll.

Please, does someone agree with me? ... these guys are a danger to themselves, their partners and every dancer on the dancefloor.:reallymad
