    A Mary Poppins themed performance and it was fantastic.


    Quite amused by the C2D people making a pointed dig at us lot because we always network the results for these do's around so fast and beat the front page as it were. Thats why Achaeco was sat on stage posting while the results were being given out.

    The Fire wasn't fun however - it was bitter outside last night, However the Blitz mentality surfaced and Nigel and Nina lead a stroll out side.

    Great to see Nina again.

    Oh and I thought Ceroc Dj's were not allowed to do external non franchised events? Ne're mind!

    Good night though

    and I got to dance at the Tower Ballroom, Wheyhey! but ain't the dance floor is small. . . . .




    Wrong

    If you remember, Tony stated that we are always the last to add the results to our web site and now and again have taken stick for this.
    In this years comp it was decided to get the results on as they are anounced only to prevent us from getting stick again.
    Tony did not say anything that sounded like he was having a "pointed dig" at anyone.

    And

    Wrong again

    Ceroc and C2D do not have a problem with each other. Why would you think Ceroc's DJ's would not be able to DJ at our event? We promoted Ceroc via Chill and reading the Forum address out and we get Ceroc DJ's!

    Correct

    It was damb cold outside

    Errr, because Ceroc DJs are generally not allowed to work outside Ceroc?

    (OK, technically, Ceroc DJs won't be asked to work for Ceroc if they work for another organisation, but in practice it amounts to the same thing)

    Presumably enforcement is at the franchisee's discretion, and there are "association" organisations, and there are exceptions - but I believe that's the general rule.

    So it's not unreasonable to express surprise at seeing Ceroc DJs in non-Ceroc events.

    Yes but if you take the time and effort to go and see Mike Elleard and ask, its normaly not a problem.

    Is that Mike Ellard's mystery brother?

    Anyway, you're changing the goalposts - you originally asked why the comment was made, I answered it.

    If you want a "Ceroc DJ employment policy" discussion (another one), that's a separate topic.

    I'd never rip your top off Fletch ... not accidentally anyway...

    We got stuck in traffic/snow on the M6, so a bit late for Bromsgrove. I was very flattered that Maddy has been missing me! We'll really crack the high speed Penguins next time. It's my fave move, and I forgot to do it in the comp.

    Would have made a nice finish to the weekend, but my friends were knackered. Noise in our hotel kept them awake all night. Strange, it looked like such a genteel place (Deneside Hotel). I'm sure it couldn't have been the other dancers there... though some did have cause for celebration! (Well done Scotland). Otherwise, a very nice B&B. Only 2 mins walk in the gales to the Tower.

    Nearly midnight when I got home as it was. Bromsgrove, I shall return! So much for my economy drive... Next one April 1?

    Yes, a memorable weekend!

    Low points

    The sheer panic feeling after we got evacuated and I could find the children, I new someone would have them, but you can't help it, same as you can't help a tear when you see them line dancing in the street with Nigle and the 'Beach Boogie gang' Phew!


    The weather, unbelievable, I got a taxi from one side of the road to the other.

    The Hotel, the sheets were clean but the rest was the pits so was the plastic sheeting banging against the window all night.



    Hi Fletch... also thanx for my sexy dance with Tigerpants who looked lovely in his sailor costume....

    Fire alarm wasn't fun for you but we had Joe and knew we'd find ya..

    fun getting the taxi back to the hotel after being blown off our feet running round the corner of the building LOL..


    Well done to everyone who competed.. had a fantastic weekend.. first time in blackpool and absolutely loved it .. can't wait til next year. Great to meet everyone and congrats to Tom and Vicki.. Hope to c everyone soon

    Yeah sure!!! It was lovely to meet you too Caz.

    I meant to say earlier but forgot at the time that I thought that presenting medals to all the finalists was a lovely touch, I for one was dead chuffed, even if it nearly strangled me on Saturday night....it weighs a ton!! I shall treasure it, thanks.
