Just a quickie one to let everybody know that the first Franco's Lakeside was a real success.
In fact, it washed out the unpleasant taste the Swish left. I certainly will be looking at booking it at some point in the future.
Good:
The accommodation was nice, the dining room (both food and service) was really good standard.
Bad:
The dance floor isn't really 3 times the Camber's - but it was nice and big (unfortunately with some funny sticky/spinny patches), but it wasn't anywhere as hot and stinky as Camber. Sadly, the blues room wasn't big enough (and in separate building - not good in rain), and there was a funny music selection on Friday night, but after the comments from everybody, it has greatly improved.
Good: However, as always, the main attraction were dancers and dances. And those were FANTASTIC! I had some of the most amazing dances there, and really enjoyed every minute of it.
Bad: nothing bad can be said about the quality of dances.

In short - really enjoyed and really glad we went.
