In the Midlands we have traditionally extended our weekenders by all turning up at a Thursday night venue somewhere to start the weekender early
It's a great way to ease yourself into the weekender frame of mind. I just wanted to let you guys know that Maja will be holding THE pre-Southport get together freestyle this Thursday in Stoke-on-Trent.
The venue is a lovely hotel and I am fairly sure that Maja can get concessions on the rooms! As Stoke is only 1 hour's drive from Southport it would make a perfect place to set up camp for you long haul dancers traveling up from the big smoke. If I know Maja then the place will be pretty full as usual (around 150 dancers) and it will have all of her lovely little touches. Not to mention the friendly atmosphere that her events seem to generate.
It's going to be a great night, with an extended finish.
Fancy arriving at Southport in 'GO!' mode?
Count me in Stokie.
You on commission Stokie?
Maybe try the weekender-starts-on-Thursday thing if I ever make it to Skegness, but not this time.

While the event @ Stoke may well/is likely to be very good:-
It would be nice if you could use the term Blush, Blush @ Southport, or CerocPort.
As an aside while you pretty much knew Southport was going to be good and worth extending, for Blush it is yet to be determined.
Stokie I took the liberty of going on your website as I know you have recommended a few hotels in the Stoke area. The North Staffs Hotel where the Pre Southport get together is being held is a great venue but it just gives those who are coming to it more options.

Just heard from Maja. She has managed to get a great deal for rooms at The North Stafford Hotel this Thursday. £30pp for a double room and this includes breakfast and £40 pp for a single room, again including breakfast. She has also managed to get the thumbs up for an extended freestyle until 11.30pm.
Can't wait to see some of you there.
