We are off for some serious chillin' in Brighton and I've looked to see what's on in the dance scene and drawn a blank!!
Surely there's something going on inthe area to entertain us for the weekend?? :devil:

Nevermind, you could always call in at the Jango T-dance in Hammersmith on your way home on Sunday! :grin:

Your best bet for down that way is checking out Lynda's List

http://www.lyndaslist.com/

but by the looks of it, there's not alot on down there that weekend.

The ever useful and trusty Lyndas list (like a hitchhikers guide to the southern dance galaxy) does not help in this instance.

But all hope is not lost. Try sending a PM to Andy MacGregor. If anyone knows of anything happening in/around Brighton then it will be him. You never know he might even put on an event just so you have something to go to - he is that nice a chap.

I live in Brighton & Hove and my dance partner and I will be going to Crawley on Friday (REBEL ROC) and Gt Bookham on Sat (JAG JIVE); Andy Macgregor is a good contact and he runs sociable dances. I cant recommend the dance on Friday at the King Alfred Centre (its not Andys, by the way). Try Sarah who runs dances in Eastbourne andi f there is one and you go make yourself known to her (she is jolly nice and will make you very welcome). :cheers:

Thank you Chef :hug:

There is very little dancing this weekend in Brighton (certainly not Sat/Sun & Mon - not that I know of) Crawley on Friday is the best bet (Ceroc Surrey/Rebel Roc) I will check out local stuff today and let you know tonight

I personally have Friday and Sunday sorted for dancing (outside Brighton) have no idea where to go Saturday and Monday - would rather stay local'ish :tears: even Woking is not in this Bank Hol Monday :tears: Hayward Heath closed too :sad: :sad: :sad: Wot is going on - it's a Bank Holiday weekend !!!!


I live in Brighton & Hove ........ Gt Bookham on Sat (JAG JIVE); ........../snip/.... Try Sarah who runs dances in Eastbourne andi f there is one and you

Not Brighton though Jockey :sad: Gt.Bookham is a fair distance from Brighton and even Eastbourne is over 30 miles away - dancers who visit Brighton want to dance in the Brighton area, such a shame the organisers can't sort this out, we have enough them to do that ! Andy McGregor is trying hard to please the Brighton dancers :clap: but he needs some time off himself sometimes :hug:

Thanks SO MUCH for all of your help!!
Tiggstours and Chef:- I was looking for dance events using my ususal listing http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/ and didn't realise that there was a whole other world on Lyndas list (durrrrr) I've bookmarked it now (my sister lives in Brighton) I always thought it must be a dry spot!!

Jockey thanks for recommending Crawley and Gt Bookham! I'm away with my son so if he's up to a night out (he usually likes the pier and chips) and the venue owner is cool (he's 16 so I'll give them a ring) we'll swing by! and Minnie if your hot dates don't crack off, or you fancy a walk on the wild side drop me a line and I'll pick up up !! Wey hey :devil:
Any one else up for it???
Its made my weekend! Alex likes fishing so he'll be happy whatever we do!!
:D

Coming soon to the South Coast!
Diana and Al
Watch this space!!
