London Champs ! 2005

[Andy McGregor]

Dontcha just hate a show-off?!!

Some people do, but most of us still love you Mary

Just a reminder to all ......

There are still places left in all categories, with the exception of Team Cabaret & Ladies' Lucky Dip, so those of you who are thinking about entering - please do so as soon as possible. You can either enter on-line at www.cerocchamps.com or (preferrably) by ringing Christine on 079500 43265.

For those of you who love air-steps/aerials, there is a new Aerials category being introduced this year. However, there haven't been many entries so far and it is in danger of being withdrawn. If this happens, it may not be available again in the future. So for those of you who are thinking of entering but are worried about not being ready, or don't feel they are of a good enough standard, or have concerns about the venue/floor, please don't let that stop you from entering! This is a new category and there are no established standards to worry about. Speak to or PM Dave Bradley or myself/DavidB if you have any concerns or queries and we would be more than happy to explain and/or advise.

This is a fantastic opportunity for people who love doing aerials to show off their moves.

I don't believe your joking - You demonstrated a beautiful 'Devleppe' into a 'Ronde de jambe en l'air' and it was all very controlled I must say!

(That's drawing the leg up and extending it to the side(pointed foot), then circling at hip height round to the back, in English! )

errm thanks but i think i did not get full extension but i am still working on it.....
went to watch last night it was so good that i am still trying to work out just how poor i am...

I won't be there this year but maybe it's a good year to go if there are still so many spaces available !

Are there really only 10 Advanced couples so far? And 40 Intermediate spaces out of 80? If it stays the same it might give far more time for freestyle.

Hope everyone has a great time and look forward to seeing the results.

More to the point, if it stays the same, will they run the comp next year?

Just checked the website, and it's 10 advanced places available!!! (Sorry to contradict you Bill)

As Bradders has done so much to address the issues and complaints we have raised it would be a shame for the champs to lose it's appeal. It's no secret that I am not fond of the venue, but I still love the champs as an event. At the risk of being political it would be a shame to lose this competiton because of bad press and some folk actively boycotting it because of the venue.

Good luck to all those competing next week.................but not TOO much luck in certain categories. Oh, and it's not me that has put those tin tacks in your dance shoes ChrisA

Are there really only ...

One thing that has really surprised me is going to Ceroc venues, and finding that there is absolutely no mention of the competition in the announcements. (OK I was at Windsor last night, and unless you're in front of the speakers it is impossible to hear what's said anyway.) Presumably there is no incentive for franchise holders to publicise the competition (leaflets were on the door), but surely they would like the kudos of having their dancers do well at the competition?
With only just over a week to go, I would tend to assume that it is too late to get in, so wouldn't bother entering, unless I was encouraged to do so.

I think there's likely to be a very disordrely queue!

Hmm, great minds and all that...

Only 9 days to go, and I've already got that nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach.

That's not nerves. That pizza last night was a bit dodgy.

[Sheepman]

Oh yes, still no sign of any tickets.
