    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    Ooh an interesting list

    A few questions:

    Does the Valentine's weekender have a theme (eg as usual I am hoping for a Blues theme ) ?

    Is the Blaze venue still being renovated?

    Are there no Beach Ballroom events for 2010? Or have those dates not been finalised..?


    I'm sure I'm not alone having to deal with a set financial limits I'd rather ignore, and so if I can spend more on the dancing, than on the travel then I'm all for it. The more Scottish events (for me anyway) the better.

    I am plotting a few days / weeks away for 2010

    I will fill in my answers as soon as I have decided.

    Cheers WT

    Nope, this my (advertising) thread for week-ends I'm considering teaching / dancing at.

    Yes, it will but the theme is still being decided and finalized. There will be (at least) a Blues Room and I can confirm that as well as myself teaching, Sheena DJ-ing, Marc & Rachel will be teaching / DJ-ing and a few more surprises!!!

    Sadly yes, and no short-term hope that we'll be able to get back to running Blaze events.

    Beach Ballroom will definitely be happening but dates / teachers are not yet finalized. I'll add them to the poll and original post when I have the info.
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    Brilliant - thanks for this, Franck! Now I can get all my work holidays sorted for next year.

    And now I can see where they all go, too - 10 or so weekenders and a week's dance holiday don't fit very well into 25 days' leave ...

    I've added LUX to the Poll and 1st post brilliant week-end, especially in August which is traditionally a quiet time for dancing!

    • 27th-29th August - Utopia LUX week-ender, Wokingham.

    Hi Franck,

    Thanks for posting the list.

    Do you have a feel for how final these dates are? I know that various weekends moved date during 2009 - is this likely to happen again?

    It is very hard to guarantee dates, especially so far ahead, but once booking opens the dates should be final.

    I'm a bit wary of booking too far ahead, paying for flights etc until I know the dates are definitely not going to change.

    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    OK - going on current dates I'm definitely in for the Valentines weekender.

    "Yes, it will but the theme is still being decided and finalized. There will be (at least) a Blues Room and I can confirm that as well as myself teaching, Sheena DJ-ing, Marc & Rachel will be teaching / DJ-ing and a few more surprises!!!"

    This might just have something to do with it

    The Scottish Champs are already in my diary

    and I might even attempt to get down to Breeze - about time too

    I might add a few more later as dates come in.

    Cheers for this Franck

    As far as teaching is concerned will some have a particular teaching focus.

    For example this year the Ceroc Southport weekenders have had headline external teachers.

    Will they continue to similarly differ from Camber, or will the offering at all the major Ceroc weekenders be pretty much the same.

    I am not sure when in the year Blaze was but it was one I had hoped to get to. Is there a replacement in the Spring or Autumn in the offing?

    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    Is there any decision yet on headliners/other dance focus at the events? I presume Breeze will be blues but what about the others?

    This year for example I booked and paid for Brean before it was announced that Splash would be AT orientated. I had a brilliant time this past weekend but had I known before, I would probably have chosen the latter. They are so close together, I couldn't get away for both so it would be good to know in advance. Thanks

    Following on Lory's brilliant proof-reading, I have corrected the original post and poll to reflect the accurate dates

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    I miss Blaze.

    I have fairly simple requirements for what I want for a weekender.
    Will there be a blues room?
    Who are the DJs?
    Will there be familiar faces for chatting and dancing with?
    Will there be cake?
    Is it easy/cheap enough to get to from NI?

    So will start looking at locations and flights for 2010... I need my weekender fix!!

    Re: Major Week-enders & Events for 2010

    I would like to go to most of them but my decision is made for me purely by the dates, I am not going to be allowed to take leave during the busiest time of the month so quite a few of these are a no-go for me
