Oak Lodge on Tuesday this week! (May 31st)

Dear Dancers,

Just a short note to remind all West Wickham dancers that Oak Lodge is on Tuesday night this week - 31st May (class times as normal)....hope you can make it!!

A BIG THANK YOU - is due to everyone that came along to our fundraiser last night at the Newell Centre in Chichester - you raised a grand total of just under £400 from ticket sales and the raffle....My thanks go to Steve and Jayne Riley for all their help and to The Newell Centre for allowing us FREE use of their venue to raise money for the Japanese Red Cross to use towards their continued efforts to help the most stricken people following the devastating earthquake and tsunami they suffered earlier this year....the monies will be sent off to the fund tomorrow morning!

Many thanks once again - you are very generous lovely people :)

On a personal note I would like to thank Jim and Mary for my gorgeous Chilli Cha Cha bear who I happily danceed with on stage for most of the night hahaha!! Someone said to me during the evening 'so it's not just men that don't grow up then?' and they were spot on!! hahaha!! I love toys! :)
