    Smile What do I do to "get in the know" for future events??!?!

    Hiya All,

    Hailing in from Sunny Bristol. Hope you can throw me some Advice on the below:

    Any Good Web sites - listing National Events - 12 months in advance etc???

    Absolutely gutted I didn't make the Hammersmith event - a Coach day trip out with the barmy west army... with dancing involved....... gutted... gutted....! Sounds like you all had an awesome time!


    What do I do to "get in the know" for future events??!?!

    By the time I get wind of events - its normally too late and I have other things on, I can't really get out off!

    Eg.
    Walthemstow - few days before hand
    Hammersmith - 2 weeks before hand


    I'm just one of the happy go lucky guys, who turns up to local dances.... the Web sites I go to seem to be current events... or events happening in a weeks time etc!


    Hope you can help
    Martin


    PS:
    My local Bristol Web forum I go to mentions "uk-jive.co.uk" - I had a look, could be wrong, but it seems to miss out Ealing etc,k and so is not the be all and end all of events listings.

    Well you could start with looking at www.ceroc.com, or possibly the sites listed at: http://www.afterfive.co.uk/EventListings-links.html

    If you're looking for events in the S, S/E then Lynda's list is highly recommended

    Thanks spindr
    I used to make a list of all the main dance events throughout the year, but it took too long to compile and maintain - the monthly one takes up enough of my time


    although most are weekenders or holidays check out
    (these links are also found on http://www.afterfive.co.uk/EventListings-links.html )

    John Sweeney's

    or John & Linda's (Swinging Bees) "Special Events"
