Lee Easton 'WCS' at Brean Sands

[Minnie M]

UKCW Competition + dedicated WCS room - 22nd to 25th Feb

Is anyone going to this ??

[Minnie M]

Thanks folks, knowing lovely people have already booked has enouraged me to do so, I have just booked with my buddy Shirley

(PM me if you need any more information re prices for this event)

[Caro]

I'm trying to go to this - given that there will be Robert and Deborah and Ronnie and Brandi it would be too much of a shame to miss it - however I am running into logistical difficulties.

Flights to bristol are extorsionate (over 300 quid, I can fly to LA for less than that!), so I'm looking at either:
- flying to Heathrow late on friday night (back on monday)
- flying to Luton during the day on friday , back on monday

Is there anybody out there who would be interested in sharing a car (i.e. I would rent one) or, even better, would have any of those airports on their way and could give me a lift to Brean Sands if schedules fit ? Promise to tell all about the cruise gossips

[Caro]

Right - sorted now
Paul F, Jennifer and I are booked - I can't wait

Yay! Looking forward to it.

I had heard the price of £65 somewhere but I had no idea that it included accommodation!!!

Wow!

My ballroom partner is probably going to beat me to death for having another weekend off but you know what....I dont care

Way to go, Paul

Who cares about ballroom when you can swing

(and Night-Club 2 step the night away )

Are there any online details for this event anywhere? I did pick up a flyer at Lee's class a while back but can't seem to find it now.

Very little from what I can tell. I did a search for "UK Country Brean Sands". One of the resulting websites had details on the competition but little on anything else.

Couldn't find anything either. I booked through the Pontins website (code CW08)...
Attached the only flyer I have found in my emails.

May be someone (Carron, Kev ?) could post more info or get Lee to post more info?

[Minnie M]

I am not sure but I think it is a Pontins promotion (hence the cheap costs)

With regard to the WCS bit, once again only guessing, I think Lee had the input there as he is promoting that part of the event

I found what I think is the original UKCW flyer

Hey Kriss

If you're going to be there then that adds a little more incentive to attend

Hey, I said 'more incentive' - the subtleties of the English language still slipping by your Royal Frenchness I see..........

Believe it or not this is my first ever post on the Forum! The flyer that Caro attached is the one I sent out with my last WCS newsletter. It is the official flyer for the separate Swing Room which Lee Easton is hosting and organising together with the programme for the WCS competitions and workshops. The main country event is in the line dance ballroom which closes at around 2.30am. The Swing Room will be open till much later and to my knowledge most of the London based dedicated Westies (me included) have said they are attending. Partner dance workshops will be in NC2 step and 2 step as well as WCS. The £65 is for 3 nights budget accommodation including the weekend pass but if you spend a bit more you can get a nicer chalet. The DJs will be Lee Easton and Graham Burke. There will also be some amazing cabarets on the Sunday. I sent out the following summary today:

22 - 25 February, 'Swingin in Somerset' welcomes Lee Easton and friends with special guests RONNIE DEBENADETTA and BRANDI TOBIAS as well as ROBERT CORDOBA and DEBORAH SZEKELY. This CWDC event has a separate swing room for the whole weekend with Newcomer, Novice, Pro-am and Invitational Jack and Jills and lots of workshops from only £65 for 3 nights self-catering accommodation and the weekend pass. Booking hotline: 0870 604 5606 this event represents unbeatable value with plenty of opportunity to practise before the main event of the year.

Hope this is enough info to encourage all westies to book and make this event the springboard before Weston.

Please excuse my ignorance - but who are you (your real name) sorry

I started this thread as I wanted to go, but also wanted (selfishly) to encourage other dancers along that I knew. I am pleased to say that I have managed to encourage a few good dancers to book this event plus a few personal friends who are not forumites

This is a Ceroc forum, so need to be careful that it isn't used for advertising

[westcoastangie]

Hey Lynda, did you get out of the wrong side of the bed yesterday? I'm feeling like you've dumped a load of bricks over me... It's westcoastangie here. I appreciate it's a Ceroc Forum but since the thread was asking questions about Lee's Swing room at Brean and nobody seemed to have all the info they wanted, I thought I would supply it. Yes, I am promoting this event to help Lee, in the same way as I promote all WCS events in the UK and the US in order to attract more and more people to my favourite dance. I just want to clarify for anyone who doesn't know me that I have no financial interest in any WCS event but I do spend a lot of my week helping organisers who do and also helping to inform WCS dancers where all the events are. I will definitely be at Brean and I know that quite a lot of people have already booked and I look forward to seeing you there.
