Cool tune - you can see why it's right up her street.

Well...what a weekend that was..... am so pleased with how it went when you conside everything that could have gone wrong. I have slept for most of this week....feel absolutely exhausted!
Have listened to the feedback...happy to do so.

The floor....being dealt with. As Lee said, the next one available to hire which would have been lovely was so much more expensive which would have had a bearing on the cost of the tickets, but I will work on this for the next time. Apologies for this one.

Lunch on Saturday....took it on board and dealt with it by the Sunday evening so the baguettes were wrapped and ready to grab but this didn't get mentioned. So hopefully have put this right for the next time

Free teas and coffee's.....do you not have to pay at Southport, Weston, Camber etc?
Embrace your local event organisers and Thank them for giving free tea's and coffee's at your local workshops cos they are spoiling you...

Gender balancing....
Bit of a problem. WCS is still in it's infancy and there aren't equal numbers yet of people doing it. Tricky one. Some people who booked late saying they would dance as leads in order to counter balance the problem, then danced as follows. A couple of leads who booked also had to pull out for various reasons so left it even shorter. Sunday night was perhaps the worst as people had left to make long journey's home, so people who turned up just for Sunday night (Ladies) were disappointed.
Again, all I can do is apologise and say it will be stricter next time. Ladies, grab a man to book with....we know how slow they are in booking so "tempt" them into doing so!

For me the "bestist" part was seeing all the socialising that was going on and the whole relaxed atmosphere that there seemed to be. Even Tatiana got behind the bar and pulled a few pints...we had to remind her the job wasn't finished till the money was taken!
I am incredibly gratefull for all the support I was shown during the weekend and am getting ready for the next one in June with Parker and Jessica.

Who's up for it??

to you all

I know... as I said it was merely a suggestion

I should probably apologise for this as I may have been guilty of this . The workshops being so technical (as opposed to patterns based) made me really want to work on my own technique as a follow. But IMO the gender imbalance wasn't that big an issue during the workshops - I think it's ok to have a few extra ladies as everybody rotate.
The gender imbalance was a bit more of an issue during the freestyles, I think.

Have the dates for Parker and Jessica being changed to the last weekend of june ? (instead of july ?)

If so that's a real pity as it is the same weekend as Myles and Tessa are in London...

as for me, I'm twice gutted as I'll be away in Africa for work...
