Week beginning April 26th 2010

Dear Dancers,

Just a quickie!!

first of all my apologies for the Westergate School Hall being unusable last week. I have been reassured that it WILL be clean and ready for us tomorrow...HOWEVER!!! should I arrive there and it isn't ready we will be going around the back of the school in to the aerobics hall as we did in a hurry last week!!

I do hope no one thought we weren't there last week - because we were - just slightly out of sight! Despite our best efforts (mainly Janes!!!) we do know a few people missed the hastily written sign stuck on the school door and drove away...

Please do come along tomorrow and look out for a sign on the hall doors if you cannot see anyone in the hall - we WILL be in the sports centre - one minute away BEHIND the school instead!!

I dunno - what a kerfuffle!!!!!!

Fridays and Saturdays classes are to run as normal this week!

Mondays class is closed as its a BANK HOLIDAY! so we will see you the week after!!

TRIP TO BOURNEMOUTH UPDATE!!!!

As you will all know by now we are off the the lovely WESSEX HOTEL next February 18th - 20th!!! Please do email me for a copy of the booking form if you havent had one - or text me on 07799741288 and I will bring one along to your class instead :)

I am pleased to say that the trip is selling really well - with the first 16 supplement free single places all taken already!!!! I have no one left on my reserved list now for a single place, so the 17th and final supplement free single place is up for grabs on a first come first served basis!!! All other singles booking after this place has gone will unfortunately have to pay an extra £20 for the trip....which is only £10 per night - so not so bad if you look at it that way!

ok thats all for me for now - take it easy people - and Ill see you in a class sometime very soon!

Dear Dancers,

What a lovely sunny day it is today! I am very much looking forward to teaching tonight - and starting the class is daylight is a complete joy!!

Before I get started on the class news I would just like to make an announcement on here that Andy and I are engaged to be married!!!

We got engaged last weekend - and I have a beautiful diamond ring to flash at you when we next see eachother!

We are planning a small family wedding early next year in Arundel - and a HUGE PARTY FOR EVERYONE WE KNOW two weeks later - and if you are a member of my classes - that will include YOU!! Invitations will be handed out nearer the time in my classes!!

Thank you to everyone that has given us a card - they are all beautiful and are gathering nicely on top of all the cabinets in the house (perhaps I should put up my Christmas card string????!!!)

Ok, so now on to class news...

We need to send a huge THANK YOU to Bognor Regis Football Club for putting up with us for the past two weeks, it was a lovely venue to use and we hope to return there sometime in the future for the occasional party night!

We had originally planned to use Bognor Football Club again on May 12th and 26th - but we have been offered the lovely aerobics halls in Six Villages Sports Centre (just behind Westergate school) on those two evenings and have jumped at the opportunity to use it!!

Saturday - The Viking Music and Dance club - Green Lawns Caravan Park - Selsey.

SATURDAY AFTERNOONS IN SELSEY...

I am continuing to teach at the Viking music and dance club in Selsey each and every Saturday afternoon from 1 - 4 p.m. this is a FREE class - you dont need to book - just turn up and join in! Beginner dances and intermediate requests are played between 1 - 2 p.m. From 2 - 4 p.m. its improver/intermediate/advanced all the way!

so why not come and join us one Saturday an soak up the atmosphere of the best saloon bar in West Sussex - we are situated on Green lawns caravan park in Selsey - part of the Bunn Leisure Group....you will find the entrance to Green Lawns on your right just after you cross the mini roundabout heading into Selsey - just past the police station!

Please note that the Viking is licensed premises and you are not allowed to bring your own food and drink into the class. As a sign of your appreciation for this FREE class, please do buy at least one drink from across the bar.

Many thanks!

why not stay in Selsey after the class and go for a meal in town, and later come back and join us for an entire evening of social line dancing to live music? Doors open at 6.30 - and we party on til 1 a.m. (or later!!!!) every single Saturday throughout the season! It only costs £7 on the door....where else can you go on a Saturday night for around 7 hours entertainment? Not the cinema thats for sure!! If you want to bring your non dancing relations/children with you - the club also has a games room and small bar with wide screen t.v.'s to keep them occupied whilst you dance the night away!!

Any queries? Ring me on 07799741288!

ADDITIONAL NEWS!!!

This coming Friday (April 23rd ) I am appearing (is that the right word? haha) at the following venue:

Hold Cross Church Hall
North Bersted
West Sussex

for a fund raising night on behalf of the church restoration programme....why not join us for three hours of linedancing fun?

Tickets are £10 per person to include either a Fish and Chip or Sausage and Chip supper! Or alternatively there is a 'admission only' price of around £5 (to be confirmed) if you do not require food. Please contact me on 07799741288 if you would like to come along. You are allowed to bring your own drinks to this party if you so wish. I will be teaching beginner dances and playing all your requests inbetween - lets see if we can recruit a few more unsuspecting members of the non line dancing public into our delightful hobby shall we?

SUNDAY APRIL 25TH - ALDINGBOURNE ALIVE!!!!!

This Sunday at Aldingbourne Sports and Social club sees an all day event of fun and frolics!! There will be many stalls and displays from different groups that use the Aldingbourne venue - plus loads to see and do all day long....take a listen to Spirit f.m. all week for more details...I have been asked to join in the fun by teaching line dancing to the (again) unsuspecting public from 3.40 p.m.!! Come and find me in the outside arena (probably on a stage!) and I will play a few of your fave dances so we can demonstrate how much fun linedancing can be!!

It looks set to be a great day out - doors open at 10 a.m.....hope to see you there!!

Ok thats all for now folks - look forward to seeing you in a class sometime very soon...

Take Care

April in The Katz Line Dance Club!

Dear Dancers,

First of all

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!!

Just a few little newsy bits for you all to read today...

THE DAFFODIL DANCE - UPDATE!

Between all four classes we managed to raise a grand total of £190.00 for the Marie Curie cancer care fund.....thank you all so much for joining in with good spirirs and by buying Daffodil pins and in some cases cakes as well! Brilliant! I will posting the cheque off to them shortly.....

CLASS CLOSURES/CHANGES OVER EASTER...

There will be NO classes on either Good Friday (April 2nd) or Easter Monday (April 5th. Classes return to normal the following week.

IMPORTANT INFO RE WEDNESDAY NIGHTS - WESTERGATE CLASS!

On April 7th and 14th Westergate school hall is being altered, and we are unable to use their premises. but dont panic, we are lucky enough to have secured the use of the brand new club house of BOGNOR REGIS FOOTBALL CLUB on both weeks!

Times and prices are the same as usual - please do note that the club are licensed premises, and have a bar, so you are required to purchase at least one drink from over the bar and are not allowed to bring in any drinks of your own, including water. The hall is lovely - with a small stage and attractive surroundings - Im sure you wont be disappointed when you see it!

The football club is situated in Nyewood Lane, Bognor Regis...click here for a view of the road http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl the entrance to the Club is opposite Normanton Road.

Additonally there are two further dates in May that we have just been told we are unable to use at Westergate School - they are May 12th and 26th.....luckily the Football club have just agreed to allow us to use their clubhouse again!

Please do check back on here before April 21st for an update on the size of Westergates school hall - although we have been reassured that after the new seating has been installed there will be enough room for us to dance, I will be taking a look at the floor BEFORE we go back to the school on Wednesday 21st April, and if there are any problems, this is where I will report it to you all.

SATURDAY AFTERNOONS IN SELSEY...

I am continuing to teach at the Viking music and dance club in Selsey each and every Saturday afternoon from 1 - 4 p.m. this is a FREE class - you dont need to book - just turn up and join in!
