Dear all, may i take this opportunity to invite you to my leaving party on November 23 in Perth. It is my final day up in Scotland before i leave permanently for England (Staffordshire). I have thoroughly enjoyed my time demoing for Ceroc and in Particular Lorna, i have many great memories of dancing up here and would wish you to all come along so that i can say my final goodbyes and thank you's to so so many people.

My time up here has been just the best, you have all been so welcoming and kind, i have had such great fun and a lot of pleasure from dancing with the ladies and have made many wonderful friends also, you are the one's i shall sorely miss when i depart.

May i take this opportunity to thank a few very special people up here. Please bear with me! I have to say these thank you's!

To Lorna, my teacher and wonderful friend, whom i have demonstrated with for about two years now, it has been my absolute pleasure demoing for you and helping you to teach various workshops, but most of all i shall miss our friendship, bond and rapport that we have built in our partnership on stage and off it. It is you Lorna that has helped me most to progress to the dancer i am now and it is you whom i look up to most in the dance scene in Scotland. I admire and trust you and i shall miss you a great deal.

To Elaine, Lisa and Mairi, thank you for the opportunities to demonstrate for you also and many thanks to Elaine for being my first teacher and doing so much to help me along, Lisa for some great laughs and workshops we taught together and the firm friendship we now have, Mairi for being the first person i demo'd for! Many thanks for introducing me in Perth, i owe you one!

Linz, for competing with me in the Open this year at Britrock...and for the other opportunities that you have opened up for me, thank you mate. I really appreciate it :hug:

To Franck and Sheena, for all of the good times past, Sheena for competing with me in various events, Franck for the opportunity to demo for your company. Many thanks to you both for the early years, your kindness and generosity over those times and the fun we had.

To the following ladies that i know very well at dancing - Shona, Gail, Paula, Izzy, Denise, Emma, Linz, MelB, Cheeks, Aleks, Yvonne, Karen and Luca good luck in all that you do. You have all been so kind to me. I shall never forget it.

To Melanie and James, good luck in your future marriage and i am honoured to be your best man, can't wait mate! :cheers:

Thank you to you all, all of you for making my time up here so special.

May i take this opportunity again to invite you all on the 23 November, i would love to see you all there.

Thank you for everything.

Wishing all of you success and happiness.

Steve...x

Hi Steve

Thanks for your warm and genuine friendship over the years. :cheers: I'll miss you! Hope to catch up with you in York/Harrogate/Doncaster/Derby when I'm visiting.

Are you still demoing in Aberdeen 22nd October? The guys here would love to see your smooth style here one more time and the ladies will be Qing for dances.

All the best with all you new adventures.

Meh God, what's all this then.........don't think I can take another 3 weeks of this without bawlin' (soft Sod). Anyway haven't been to Perth in ages and seems like a great excuse to go again so count me in.

Sure all the ladies will miss you but you know you can always come back to visit maybe you will even manage another weekender in Perth and I will be able to take your smoooooth class then. Sorry I'll miss you at Dance Fever but as I say maybe you can do it again sometime !

Good luck with the move down south hope all goes well remember you don't really suit that flash car anyway:whistle:

(Talk to you soon about the boring work stuff later)

Enjoy

Charlie, many thanks for your post! That "flash car" has been offloaded for a new pmobile! I think you should see it before i go and have your say!!! I'll bring it around when i come to chat about work stuff!!

Seriously now, many thanks Charlie, our friendship has always been a good one and i shall miss your quips (i.e Bonar Hall :whistle: ) and you're a good pal.

Anyway, I don't think they'll get rid of me that easily, hopefully i will be back up for the next dance fever (if Linz will have me) and we can get all smooth then mate :whistle:

Take good care and i'll see you soon!

Hi all, many thanks for all of your kind comments.

I am missing you all a lot and finding one or two things hard, but alas, i'll get there.

Ceroc Scotland and in particular Lorna has been wonderful to me and i shall never forget it. Thank you all very much for the presents and cards and cake :drool: i will treasure them forever and really do appreciate it, i was overwhelmed. I am sorry it has taken me two days to reply but i've been moving loads of stuff around, nightmare!

It was emotional on the night and it still is, i could hardly get my words out but i just wanted to say how much i owe to Lorna for her dedication in teaching me, her friendship and for her kindness, i shall miss you lots matey.

To all of you who i adore dancing with and the friendships. I miss you all so much.

You have all been so welcoming and kind to me, i shall never forget it...thank you.

I have just found my nearest venues down here and have been invited to a dinner dance party on Saturday at Keith and Janey's venue, so at least i can still get a dance or two!

Having said all that though, hopefully i will see you all soon whether it be Blackpool or maybe Blaze.

Love to you all, thank you again for everything....take care of yourselves,

Steven...x
