Great,
I get to have a dance in my home town, Crawley!
Hopefully it will do better than previous attempts at establishing jive in
Crawley. The two other time (LeRoc and Freestyle Frenzy) didn't last very long
due to low numbers turning up. I don't think it helped though that the venues
that they used were school halls, so they didn't have a bar.
The civic hall does have a bar, but I have heard it is an expensive venue to
use.
So good luck to it, hope to get along sometime (work permitting). But perhaps
someone who does go Friday night could tell us what it was like.
Cheers
Pete

Hi folks
This week brings a new venue to the scene with Katy's opening night on Friday in
the Civic Hall
Crawley (Big Dave's patch). Apparently she held a busking session in the County
Mall on Saturday
(which I would have advertised had I known). But we wish her all the best,
Crawley has a huge
catchment area and is sure to do well!
Besides Crawley there's loads to choose from including the Blue Dahlia which
comes highly recommended
from DavidW and others keen on 1940's dress and swing music.
For those that have forgotten the Orpington Ceroc will be at Bromley tonight
(Wednesday)!
Dave Stanton will take over the list for the next couple of weeks while I get
some sun. I'm sure
you enjoy his friendly banter, but try to resist his urges to convert you to
east coast swing!
This week's recommendations are:
Friday 19th October
**Blue Dahlia, The Polish White Eagle Club, Hamilton house, Balham high street
-- 1940's dress, much celebrated swing venue
-- Davidw and friends will be there
http://www.swingtime.co.uk/Reviews/clubs/Bluedahl.html
*LeRoc, Fairland Flg Centre, off Aldershot Rd. Guildford
-- small friendly venue
*Rebel Roc, Civic Hall, The Boulevard, Crawley, Susssex
-- new venue for Katy's increasing successful Rebel Roc
Saturday 20th October
**Rivoli Ballroom. 350 Brockley Rd, Crofton Park, London SE4
- Great old fashioned ballroom venue which attracts experienced dancers from
Jive, Swing and Lindy
**Dance 2000, The David Lloyd Centre, Brighton Village Marina, Brighton
-- Great modern venue, with 2 dance floors
** Evolution Dance, The Steyning Centre, Brighton
-- popular oufit, but venue unknown venue to me
