Dear Dancers,
Well so far we have raised a grand total of £220.00 for comic relief in three Katz dance clubs! Thats three down and one to go! Tomorrow night in West Wickham in Kent we will be doing our final push for Comic Relief - so dont forget to bring along your cash and donations for the charity raffle!! Please try to wear something red, and dont forget those Red Noses!!!
Last Wednesday we kicked off our charity week in Westergate and had a huge turnout for the event - Raising £104.79 during the course of the evening!! Money was made from selling Red Nose Cakes (made by my own fair hands with a little help from Tescos!!!), dancers paid £1 to dance an A-Z of dances throughout the night - this was great fun - but BOY!!! did our legs ache at the end of it! Many thanks to everyone for joining in the spirit of this event by wearing something red and donning those red noses!
Photos from this event are on our photos page on http://www.linedancingevents.com/
On Friday afternoon - we had what I can only describe as an 'unusual' class.....on arrival at the hall I found I was locked out......Linda and I scratched our heads, and decided to run the beginners class from the car park! Luckily I had a cd on me with most of the music we needed and so with the occasional bemused passerby (erm, passing by) we linedanced in our red clothes (and thongs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) wearing red noses in the middle of the car park to my car radio!!
Thanks to Jane for allowing us to 'set up' the raffle in the back of her 4X4 which had a lovely big empty boot! haha We raised a total of £35 during the course of the afternoon - luckily the caretaker came along and let us in so that we had the improvers class actually in the building!! (although I must admit - I was a little sad to leave the car park!)
Photos from Friday are also on our main site http://www.linedancingevents.com/ just click on photos!!
Saturdays afternoon class took place at the Viking Club in Selsey - the dancers were in good spirits and four of them took control of the raffle and cake selling wearing red wigs and specially made Red Nose Day T shirts - photos from Saturday should be on the linedancingevents website shortly!
We raised a further £80 for Comic Relief during the afternoon......and thanks to the contributions from local stores and buisnesses in Selsey - the Viking made a further £220 for Comic Relief with a HUGE raffle during the evening session....many thanks to Sally, Sue, Lorna and Matt for doing such a great job!
Tomorrow night sees Oak Lodge School doing their bit for this great cause, and I will report back with a final figure on Tuesday....many thanks to everyone for all their efforts so far - and a big special thank to Linda for all her hard work on Wednesday and Friday....xxx
Other news!
Just a quick reminder that there are NO FREE LESSONS this coming Saturday (21st March) at the Viking due to the Mad March Weekender taking place...see Andys viking website for details of that event if you are interested in coming along....otherwise I will see you following Saturday at 1 p.m as usual!!
