Yeah. I don't get to keep the shield - they're sending that away to have 
my name engraved on it. But I get to keep the plastic cup.

Oh, what, her with the long curly blonde hair?

Yeah, she's lovely. Doesn't talk much, but a very nice girl all the same.

Actually, they're *all* really nice people. With the possible exception 
of Sheryl, who's a bit bitchy sometimes...

By the number of plaques already on it yours might be the last name to go  
on it. The cup does look nice though; striated?

Almost tempted (if it wouldn't be so creepy) to join the dance class :-)

I imagine they start taking old names off or something... I don't 
actually know. It goes back at least 20 years though (although it 
doesn't appear to have an entry for *every* year).

The cup, as noted, is silvered plastic. Hence "amazing what you can do 
with a bit of plastic".

Hell, we *never* have enough men! It's amazing the number of married 
women who come along without their husbands because they just aren't 
interested in dancing. You would /imagine/ a Rock & Roll class having 
lots of cute young girls in it as well... in general, you would be 
disappointed. Although just lately we've been getting a lot more of 
them, as the picture shows.

I'm guessing the commute from Stourport to Milton Keynes would be a 
killer though. :-P

How did you know? o_O

Thanks.

I still can't believe that Debbie said that I "inspire" her. Then again, 
I guess she's not gonna say "and this year, we couldn't think of anybody 
worthy, so we thought sod it, Andrew can have it"...

I enjoyed dancing at school many moons ago; I doubt I'm fit enough now  
though.

200 mile round trip... still almost tempting :-)

I wasn't fit enough when I started either. ;-)

Heh, well, 8PM every Wednesday evening is the beginner's Rock & Roll 
class. That's also the class that most of the girls in the picture are 
in. ;-)

I hate to let you in on a secret, but they're *all* a bit bitchy sometimes. ;-)

IIRC it was for the most improved person, tell me how good you were 
before and do the math.
