Last year we ran the Competition in aid of the Red Cross for which we generated £ 6000. This was the money we earned on the day plus some significant donations from the guys selling the shoes, Boogiesteps, and also from some of the competitors that donated their prizes back. Great Guys

Because it was a charity event we kept the prizes fairly modest although we had some late donations from Boogiesteps and Chance 2 Dance (Nb For winners reading this, your free tickets to the Blackpool event will be in the post shortly) Anyway in short people competing were doing it for the glory rather than the prizes.

What I would like to get is some feedback on:

1. Do you think we should run the next one as a Charity Event?

2. Should we have larger prizes? (kinda conflicts with the above)

3. Lastly if yes to 1) I am looking for suggestions for worthy Charities to approach.

What I would like to do is, once we have some suggestions, put it to a vote, and based on the result of that approach the Charity with the highest vote.

I would not want to influence your answer to 1) but I canÕt help think from my message that it is fairly obvious what my view is.

As always your feedback would be appreciated.
