Week beginning April 27th.......NEWS UPDATE!

Dear Dancers,

Mondays class is on as normal this week - usual times in Oak Lodge School - but the following Monday is a Bank Holiday ( 4th May ) and therefore there will be no class that week. Classes resume the week after as normal.

This Wednesday (29th April ) Westergate School are using their hall for the evening which means that we are going to run the class in our alternative venue FOR THIS WEEK ONLY!

Please come along at your usual class time to:-

The Banrham Inn (pub)
28 Barnham Rd
Barnham, Bognor Regis, PO22 0ES

There is a car park to the side of the pub, and also parking along the road too. As we are being allowed to use a licensed venue please do remember that drinks should be purchased over the bar.

Thank you to Chris for allowing us to use the Barnham Inn for this weeks class! We are back in Westergate school the following week as usual.

Fridays class is on as normal.

Saturday at the Viking - Important information!!

As next weekend is a Bank Holiday weekend for Bunn Leisure there are slight changes to the routine at the club as follows:-

10.30 a.m. Doors open for my FREE line dance class - the class will run from 10.45 til 1 p.m.

1 - 4.30 p.m. We have LIVE linedance music for you from the fantastic TEXAS TORNADOES - if you would like to see the band it costs £5.50 for the afternoon, and the good news is that you can re use your ticket to enter the club in the evening to see the second live act of the day....a Rock N Roll band going by the name of 'Roll the Dice'........Andy will be there in the evening to run the disco and we will party on til 1 a.m. the following morning!

Saturday classes return to their normal time of 1 - 4 p.m. the following week. Please remember that there are only a few Bank Holiday weekends during the year - and every Saturday evening at the Viking apart from these few special occasions we have linedancing and specialist linedance acts or country music acts to dance to.

Other news.....


Well the trip is finally sorted out! Booking forms for the holiday to Folkestone have been handed out in classes and have started to come back in already - please bring along your completed forms and deposits this week, as places are filling up incredibly fast! We are very very pleased to announce that our live acts for the weekend away are:--

Friday 13th November - TEXAS TORNADOES!!! and

Both acts are very good linedance acts who know what the linedancers like and are brilliant to dance to, cant wait!

Take care everyone and see you in class soon......

NO CLASS OAK LODGE TONIGHT! 23rd March.....

Dear Dancers,

I am so very sorry to have to cancel the class tonight....there are multiple reasons for taking this decision!!

Firstly I have just returned home after a hectic but enjoyable weekend at the Viking Club in Selsey.......tired, but prepared to drive to see you all....

On arrival at my house I found the garden fence had blown down!!! I have a dog and so this has to be dealt with - which means phone calls started taking up my time.....and then I thought - Jacqui!

But sadly Jacqui has had a loss in her family this weekend and cannot stand in for me tonight...which means only one option...to close the class..:(

I will make it up to you all next week - by bringing you all in some chocolates!!!! Take it easy tonight everyone, have a good week and Ill see you next Monday....fence willing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs

FANTASTIC!!!!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all my lovely dancers for joining in with the fund raising effort - by dressing in red, wearing Red Noses, in some cases Silly wigs and special T shirts, buying cakes and donating raffle prizes and buying lots of tickets!!!

you are all superstars!

I will bring the receipt from the Bank for you all to see in your classes!
