And we're going - our seats are at the middle of the far end of the picture above, on the ground floor.

Oh, AND we are competing too - and so is SD. We will do Senior (over 35; they only have one catagory) - which had about 168 couples last year  But that was small compared to the year before with 225 - possibly due to the boycott. |

One of our instructors asked us about 6 weeks ago if we wanted to go but I don't think we can financially swing it. Maybe next year.

You have to fight through a lot of crap before you find your way up out of the toilet. Sometimes I think I have a good hold on the rim then I slip back in. Each time I don't sink quite as deep though. - Rugby

you must always take opporutnitys when they arise....I hear the floor is great but the venue is sub standard, very hot and old....but you cant help nostalgia

Great idea. Just push it forward one - we're competing next year, I could use a(nother ) friendly face  |
