    What's on in Brighton then (26-29/8) ?

    We are off for some serious chillin' in Brighton and I've looked to see what's on in the dance scene and drawn a blank!!
    Surely there's something going on inthe area to entertain us for the weekend??

    Dosn't look like you're getting too many replies - maybe everyone knew you were coming and headed out of town

    Nevermind, you could always call in at the Jango T-dance in Hammersmith on your way home on Sunday!

    Your best bet for down that way is checking out Lynda's List

    http://www.lyndaslist.com/

    but by the looks of it, there's not alot on down there that weekend.

    The ever useful and trusty Lyndas list (like a hitchhikers guide to the southern dance galaxy) does not help in this instance.

    But all hope is not lost. Try sending a PM to Andy MacGregor. If anyone knows of anything happening in/around Brighton then it will be him. You never know he might even put on an event just so you have something to go to - he is that nice a chap.

    I live in Brighton & Hove and my dance partner and I will be going to Crawley on Friday (REBEL ROC) and Gt Bookham on Sat (JAG JIVE); Andy Macgregor is a good contact and he runs sociable dances. I cant recommend the dance on Friday at the King Alfred Centre (its not Andys, by the way). Try Sarah who runs dances in Eastbourne andi f there is one and you go make yourself known to her (she is jolly nice and will make you very welcome).

    Thank you Chef

    There is very little dancing this weekend in Brighton (certainly not Sat/Sun & Mon - not that I know of) Crawley on Friday is the best bet (Ceroc Surrey/Rebel Roc) I will check out local stuff today and let you know tonight

    I personally have Friday and Sunday sorted for dancing (outside Brighton) have no idea where to go Saturday and Monday - would rather stay local'ish even Woking is not in this Bank Hol Monday Hayward Heath closed too Wot is going on - it's a Bank Holiday weekend !!!!

    Not Brighton though Jockey Gt.Bookham is a fair distance from Brighton and even Eastbourne is over 30 miles away - dancers who visit Brighton want to dance in the Brighton area, such a shame the organisers can't sort this out, we have enough them to do that ! Andy McGregor is trying hard to please the Brighton dancers but he needs some time off himself sometimes

    Thanks SO MUCH for all of your help!!
    Tiggstours and Chef:- I was looking for dance events using my ususal listing http://www.uk-jive.co.uk/ and didn't realise that there was a whole other world on Lyndas list (durrrrr) I've bookmarked it now (my sister lives in Brighton) I always thought it must be a dry spot!!

    Jockey thanks for recommending Crawley and Gt Bookham! I'm away with my son so if he's up to a night out (he usually likes the pier and chips) and the venue owner is cool (he's 16 so I'll give them a ring) we'll swing by! and Minnie if your hot dates don't crack off, or you fancy a walk on the wild side drop me a line and I'll pick up up !! Wey hey
    Any one else up for it???
    Its made my weekend! Alex likes fishing so he'll be happy whatever we do!!


    Coming soon to the South Coast!
    Diana and Al
    Watch this space!!
