    2008 LeRoc 2000 Champs

    2008 'LeRoc Champs' - Sat 26th July - Weston Super Mare

    They also have a couple of new categories .......

    LeRoc "Back to Basics"
    and
    Youth Freestyle Category - 14 to 21 years

    Still no Golden one (over 60's or even over 55's) - there senior section is like the Ceroc Old Gits which is over 45 far too many good dances in that age group for the real old gits to stand a chance

    Would love to go to this. Could anyone put me and Stokie up for 2 nights? We are very good house guests and even tidy up after ourselves.

    It is great to see they have a youth category, as a lot of "under 18's" suffer from some champs lower age limit - possibly due to bar restrictions.

    It could be that 14 is due to this as well, however I would love to see it as simply "under 18's" for all those who miss out so often.

    I do not know of any age restrictions in the Aussie champs, I even remember a school team winning in 1999 the team event.

    As to the old gits (senior section).... unfortunately I still do not qualify

    Although if you wanted an "even older" one, maybe it could be called "The old fossils"

    Blueshoes and I are planning to go also, could anyone help with another two rooms . Like Twirly Bird we are also very good house guests and will clean up also. Or recommend a good B&B that is cheap but clean and cheerful.

    Thank you
    if you love the life you live then you'll get a lot more done

    Apparently, the only problem with not taking the LeRoc package deals is that if you are staying somewhere else, you'd have to sort the parking yourself. And the price (or so I am told) in the town is extortionate - something like £25 per day . With their package at least it's on site...

    Parking in Weston is £9 per day - at least according to the council's website.

    The NCP in Weston is £10 per day, but seems to close at 8:00pm according to their website.

    There's a very large outdoor pay and display car park only 2 minutes walk away. The NCP is a bit of a walk (and not very nice). The Sovereign centre charges #20 per day (basically #1 per hour & is right next to the venue (closes at 1am friday & saturday)

    The multi-story car park next to the venue was £20 for the day a couple of years ago.

    I think it was £10 for 10 hours then shoots up to 20 if at the tenth hour you go out the car park and get a new ticket you can keep it to £12 for the day or something like that ...

    Sheesh, wish I'd known that then. Mr. Par came to the rescue as we didn't have enough cash by then and the machines didn't take credit card.
