Oi! Can't you read? The small text at the bottom says the certificate
may not be used for advertisement purposes!
Your post is using it to advertise the fact that you have it!

They misprinted some of the information, such as your surname and some
numbers. You should demand a refund.

The right-hand figure on the medal looks like he's wearing a space helmet.
Did anyone from your class not get a medal?
Regards,

Wow, you guys are harsh.
As someone who wouldn't dare get up on a dancefloor, let alone stay on my feet
long enough to be in the judging, you have a twinge of my envy, my respect and
my congratulations.
Keep making time to do something you enjoy.

Hehe, yeah.
Note that it also does *not* entitle me to teach people how to dance,
like what I was doing at Wellingborough last Friday. I love the fact
that they have to actually print that on the certificate!
(Then again, there are unscupulous people who might try it on. And as
great as it is that I got a certificate, all it actually says is that I
can do a handful of the most basic Rock & Roll steps. It's the bottom
exam; certainly not nearly enough to teach with. It would be like
somebody demonstrating that they can add and subtract, and then going on
to teach GCSE Maths...)

Well, since the certificate itself is *free*, I'm guessing that's not
gonna work. :-P

Yeah, it's not the best engraving ever, is it?

Yeah - all the people who didn't enter for the exam. :-P
On a more serious note, generally the tutor won't let you enter for an
exam unless you have some realistic hope of passing. And if you enter
for one and you're not up to standard, they'll make sure you get to
where you need to be before exam time.
This is my very first dance exam ever, and I'm really thrilled to get my
medal. But bear in mind that I'm currently in the top Rock & Roll class
in the school. (Not, I emphasize, because of anything to do with my
dancing. It's merely a logicistics thing.) Everyone else was doing much
higher-level exams than me. And most of them got better results than me.
Then again, given that I'm the worst dancer in the class, I suppose it's
to be expected...

Yeah, I was thinking that... Half a dozen replies, and not a kind word
to be said for all my hard work.

Thanks.
FWIW, I'm usually the guy hiding at the back of the room so that nobody
can see how bad my dancing is. Knowing what the dance steps are doesn't
magically _make_ you confident in your ability to dance. I think the
turning point was at Roade; I don't know what came over me that night,
but my personallity was radically transformed.
Anyway, the Bronze exam is the very bottom of the tree. I still have a
huge stack of medals to earn to match my little sister's horde of swag.
Still, my entire life I've never won anything, never been good at
anything, never achieved anything. And now I have a nice shiny medal.
My preshhhhhiousssssss!
> Keep making time to do something you enjoy.
Time is something I'm generally not short of. Perhaps you noticed? :-/
For the first time in my life, I actually have somewhere to go and
something to do, on a regular basis. And I'm meeting people that you
could losely describe as "friends". OK, that's maybe stretching it a
bit... but the exercise is probably good. And hell, spending a few hours
per week smiling has got to be a good thing, right?
