THE KATZ SUMMER NEWSLETTER! AUGUST 2011
Hello peeps! Well we are at that time of year again, when some of us are off on our hollibobs for a week or two, and the long summer evenings are here for us to enjoy.......!Please read through this letter to see what will be happening at YOUR club during the month of August....
MONDAY NIGHTS – OAK LODGE – WEST WICKHAM, KENT...
Classes remain open for the first three weeks of August, and for the first year since opening we are being allowed to use Oak Lodge and do not have to use any alternative venue! Yipee!
Classes are OPEN on the following dates:
July 25th, August 1st, August 8th (OUR SUMMER PIMMS PARTY NIGHT!), and August 15th.......
We will NOT be open on the last two Mondays of August, those dates are: August 22nd and 29th.
Class will resume on September 5th.......at normal times.....
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS – SIX VILLAGES SPORTS CENTRE – WESTERGATE, SUSSEX
Classes are OPEN on the following dates:

7 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginners class....
8 p.m. to 9.45 p.m. improvers/intermediate/advanced class
The reason for the slightly later start is that the Sports Centre are starting a class on Wednesday evenings in the hall just before our session begins....we need to allow time for setting up and have agreed with the management to begin our classes 30 minutes later than usual. This will not affect the level of your dances, and you will be welcome, of course, to stay until 8.15 for our usual ‘overlap’ of classes for your social dance time!!
FRIDAY AFTERNOONS – THE NEWELL CENTRE, CHICHESTER. WEST SUSSEX.
Classes are OPEN on the following dates:
July 29th, August 5th, August 12th (OUR SUMMER PARTY DAY!!! WITH PIMMS!)....

CLUB NEWS FOR ALL DANCERS IN ALL CLASSES!!!
SUMMER BEANO NEWS!!!
ROYAL BEACH HOTEL – SOUTHSEA (JUST OPPOSITE THE PIER)
TUESDAY 16TH AUGUST TO FRIDAY 19TH AUGUST £179 (INCLUDING COACH)
Well the time is almost upon us – it won’t be long before we head off to Sunny Southsea and the very lovely Royal Beach Hotel for our three long days and nights of line dance fun!! The coach will pick up our West Wickham dancers from our usual ‘pick up point’ of Manor Way on the junction of Kelsey Way (behind Kelsey park, Beckenham) at 10.15 a.m.
We will arrive at our second collection point outside Westergate School, Westergate, West Sussex at approx 12.30 p.m. (that’s just after noon!) to collect our Sussex dancers......we aim to arrive at the hotel at around 1.30 p.m. Rooms are available from 2 p.m. but may be ready earlier.
Andy and I popped in to the Royal Beach last weekend to see how much bigger they had made the dance floor and were both very impressed with how ENORMOUS the dance floor is now!! We could easily have taken twice as many people on this trip had we known the extent of the enlargement of the dance floor as the hotel has plenty of rooms to accommodate almost the whole club!!!
So, with that in mind, we are more than happy to accept any new bookings (as many as you like!) on this trip and would be happy to talk to anyone who would like to ‘self drive’ to the hotel for a last minute arrangement.....give me a call on 07799741288 or drop me an email....
Also, we have started to collect names of people that are going to pop in to see us on any of the three evenings that we are there.......if you are already booked on the whole trip – this bit does not apply to you, so don’t worry, you have NO extra to pay........
Tuesday evening – 16th August – 8 til late! Only £5 each – you can pay on arrival – but would like an idea of numbers beforehand so that we can set aside a table for you...tonight is our first night at the hotel and Andy and I will be spinning the discs (what discs???) by playing all of your requests all night long without interruption!! We will also hold our raffle that night, and will have one of our legendary quizzes to take part in during the course of the evening (don’t worry, Andy is not doing the quiz this time and there will be NO questions about piers!! Haha)
Wednesday evening – 17th August – 8 til late! Only £5 each, again, you can pay on arrival but please do let us have an idea of numbers......tonight is our themed night and we will be donning our grass skirts and getting out those flowers for our HAWAIIAN PARTY NIGHT! .........there will be prizes for the best costumes and if I can find my poles an inpromtu limbo competition for anyone brave enough to lean backwards!!
Thursday evening – 18th August – 8 til late! Only £5 each, and yes, you can pay on the door – but please do text me to let me know how many of you are coming down....tonights theme is BLACK AND SPARKLY and is the also the very first time that YOU are the entertainment!!! Because, tonight Mathew, YOU will be singing along, up on stage, whilst your friends dance their favourite line dances!!.....we will put out a list of Songs/dances you can choose from – and give you a sheet with the lyrics on – pass you a microphone and off you go!!!
You can choose to do this as a solo performance or as a group – we really don’t mind!! At the end of the night there will be a prize for the best ‘performance of the night’ so get your thinking caps on and please do let me know if there is a song you would just LOVE to sing along to that we use in our classes to dance to!! I predict a night of fun and laughter with our SONG AND DANCE night.......but, as always, joining in is optional.....alternatively you could be the backing dancers if you like – bring along your tambourines, shakers and anything else you would like to play to make your ‘performance’ as ‘professional’ as you like!! Hehe!!
Oh and!!! I MAY SING TOO!!! HAHAHA!!! (that’ll teach you a lesson!! Never let me sing again!! Haha)
SUMMER PARTIES
Monday 8th August, Wednesday 10th August and Friday 12th August in your respective classes......the dress code is ‘SUMMERY AND FLOWERY!’
....please feel free to bring along drinks for your own tables, and a plate of something to share with the class.....I will put lists out in your classes for you to write down what you would like to bring (so we don’t get too many sausage rolls!’...
I will provide the Pimms as always, and run the classes by way of requests for all of your fave dances!!
There will be a summery raffle in all classes, and the return of the PIGGY POT - WINNER TAKES ALL!!
So do please bring along £1 for the piggy – and £1 for a strip of raffle tickets.....this is NOT a charity raffle so I do not require any donations for the raffle thank you...please keep your donations for our next charity raffle.......
Ok, well I think that’s all the news for now peeps!! Sorry to keep you reading for so long, I do hope you haven’t nodded off!?
WAKE UP! I’M DONE!
Take care everyone, and I’ll see you in a class sometime very soon....
