Hmmm, only just realised I'd resurrected an old thread without paying proper attention. Not that I'm one of those head explodes types about that in principle, as a topic is topic regardless of date. Am pruning email notifications for this site from my inbox. I had in mind my experiences of Peterborough, where is seemed the greatest concentration of adults was at the dance club, which the coaches and staff and parents of free skaters disapproved of so they never seemed to get invited to join the Christmas show, and Milton Keynes where our then dance coach seemed an irritant again to the otherwise free-skating is dominant/superior free skating coaches so they appear not to have kept him in the loop and then it would seem even if he did know of a participation event he then chose to not tell us, presumably because he himself didn't want anything to do with it. Rough n tough business skating really!
