First off, I would like to apologies to the competitors for the dismal organization backstage. as stage manager it is my responsability to hold my hands up and take the blame. Ordinarily we run a much better and smoother run backstage and I wholeheartedly apologies to any competitors who felt let down in any way.

Now on to more positive things!
I have to say the standard amonst competitors was absolutely awesome, every single competito looked fantastic, and you will see by the names of those competing just how good the standard was.

A big thanks to our 3 guest stars who did a stirling job:-  Hutch, Karen Bricklebank & Stuart Core
I can highly recommend all three of these to anyone looking for a professional guest spot to be performed at a show!

A nice little heart-warmer.
Just found out that the collection we did for the Macmillan fund raised just over £400.

for those who don't know the Macmillan fund provides help for people suffering from cancer.


Big round of applause for all who gave generously!
