    Well done to my daughters Rosie and Chloe both getting 3rd and Chloe getting the best costume.Rosie was a little tearful before going on but shes only 9 and like the judge said its lonely out there on your own.Well done to my friend Leanne getting 2nd in her solo and 2nd in our duet..Loved watching your solo brought tears to my eyes so much emotion in that song and in your routine which to me showed what the art of baton twirling is all about. I love working with you in our routines together :-)

    Thank you judges for your lovely comments and support .

    As always thank you to Albert and Yvonne for a perfect day :-)

    See you all in April as i will be judging.

    Reali looking forward to the comp at Oldham on Sunday. Its my new teams first competition and we are reali excited about seeing everyone again and being back..

    Good luck to my team...All our babies have only been twirling a few months and were reali proud of them..A big well done to Alex in our Senior Baton who had never picked up a baton til 6 months ago and has made it into our team.. I reali dont think she understands how well she has done and how she has amazed us all..Just shows with commitment dedication and obviously natural talent anything can be achieved.

    Good luck to my leaders Emily and Chloe and mascot Shannon. Its a massive honour to have one of these places so be proud and keep strong.

    Looking forward to seeing everyones routines so good luck everyone and see you Sunday

  91. Firstly, I would just like to say "What a lovely message from Vic & Fran". Everyone will miss you so so much esp all the Dancers/Organisers/Mums & Dads at Crystal Lights.

    Secondly, "Well Done" to ALL troupes dancers who danced yesterday at the All England Championships. The atmosphere was fantastic and everyone supported each other, which is great to see. The standard from each section is getting better at every competition. Keep up the FAB work girls & boys.

    See you all in October

  92. WOW YESTERDAY WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY FOR US AS WE NOT GOOD AT ENDING THINGS. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE FOR THE HONOUR YOU SHOWED BY STANDING TO WISH US FAREWELL AND I COULDN'T SEE THAT HAPPENING AT THE TIME SO I'M FILLING UP NOW AS I TYPE. ALB IF YOU ASK SOMEONE YOUNGER THAN WE ARE THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW TO GO INTO ACCESIBLE MODE TO BE ABLE TO ENLARGE OR MAGNIFY EVERYTHING AND THATS HOW PEOPLE LIKE ME MANAGE ON THESE COMPFUSERS. TO ANYONE ELSE WITH EYE PROBLEMS I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEE AN OPTICIAN STRAIGHT AWAY IF YOU HAVN'T ALREADY DONE SO. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INFORM EVERYONE THAT IF YOUR EYES ARE STILL BAD BUT YOUR NOT LEGALLY BLIND TO CONSIDER A GUIDE DOG. YES IT MEANS LEAVING THE FIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER TO TAKE THE DOG OUT FOR HIS 'BUSSIES' AND IT'S A FULL TIME COMMITMENT BUT, TO ME IT IS WORTH IT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GO OUT WITHOUT SOMEONE HELPING TO GUIDE ME. WELL YOU MAY ASK HOW DO YOU TRAIN MAJORETTES? GOOD QUESTION! THE ANSWER IS I'M PARTIALLY SIGHTED NOT COMPLETLY BLIND AND ALTHOUGH I CAN FALL OVER SOMETHING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I CAN SEE QUITE A WAY IN THE DISTANCE. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO RELY A LOT ON OTHERS ESPECIALLY MY WIFE TO POINT OUT WHAT I DON'T SEE. SO, WHY RETIRE? WELL MY HEALTH APART FROM EYESIGHT IS NOT GOOD AND HASN'T BEEN FOR MANY YEARS WITH OSTEOPOROSIS AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA BEING JUST TWO OF THE PROBS AND OLD AGE DOESN'T IMPROVE THEM. SO WHY HAVE I CARRIED ON FOR SO LONG? WELL IT AINT FOR THE MONEY COS WE NEVER GOT NONE AND WE RECKON IT COST US AROUND £3,00.00 A YEAR TO BE INVOLVED IN TRAINING AND THAT PROB APPLIES TO LOADS OF OTHER TRAINERS AND TROUP PRINCIPLES. WE CARRIED ON FOR SO LONG BECAUSE 1/ WE'RE TOLD WE'RE GOOD AT IT AND THE RESULTS HAVE SHOWN IT AND 2/ PEOPLE KEEP ASKING FOR HELP. THE TRADITION OF 'HANGING UP YOUR HAT' OR MORE CORRECTLY LEAVING YOU HAT ON THE COMPETION ARENA WAS JUST A WAY OF ANNOUNCING A BAND MEMBERS RETIREMENT WAY BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN WE TRAINED A 44 MEMBER BRASS MARCHING BAND. WE HAVE KNOWN MANY WHO HAVE DONE THIS FOR THEIR OWN REASONS BUT ALSO MANY WHO HAVE COME BACK AS THE FAMILY GREW. THE SIGNIFICANT THING IS THAT ALTHOUGH THEY RETIRED FROM COMPETING THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT OF THEMSELVES AS BAND OR MAJORETTE MEMBERS AND WE KNOW OF ADULTS WHO CAN STILL SHOW THEIR OLD UNIFORM AND PHOTO'S FROM THE EIGHTIES CAN YOU BELEIVE. I KNOW THIS IS GOING ON BUT WE TRYING TO PUT 30 YRS WORTH ON HERE AND IT'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SHOW THE HALF OF IT. WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD THIS THOUGHT. BOYS START RUGBY OR FOOTBALL AND FIND THAT THEY HAVE SPONSORSHIP OF FREE STRIPS AND TRAVEL EXPENCES SO WHY IS THESE GIRLS WHO ARE BRILL AT THEIR SPORT FIND IT SO HARD TO RAISE ANY MONEY AT ALL AND BASICALLY RELY ON THE BANK OF MUM AND DAD TO JUST EXIST. I DON'T KNOW AND NEVER HAVE OF ANY TROUPE WHERE THE PEOPLE THAT DO ALL THE ORGANISING AND OR TRAINING GET ANY MONEYTRY GAIN WHATSOEVER AND EVEN IF WE ALL HAD SPONSORSHIP I DON'T THINK THERE WOULD BE MANY WHO WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE FOR ANYONE EXCEPT THE TROUPE.FINNALLY, DO WE HAVE ANY REGRETS? WELL YES MANY BUT THE MAIN ONE IS THAT WE DIDN'T START IT EARLIER AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO ENCOURAGE YOUNGSTERS TO CONSIDER LEARNING TO BE A TRAINER OR JUDGE. BOTH THESE SKILLS ARE NOT SUITED TO EVERYONE BUT I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL MANY TIMES AND DOING THIS AND SOME ARE STILL DOING IT NOW. THAT IS OUR LEGACY AND ONCE AGAIN IF YOUR STILL AWAKE WE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS, ACTIONS AND BEST WISHES FROM SO MANY PEOPLEBOTH ADULTS AND DANCERS. Vic AND Fran TRAINERS STILL. WELL ONLY WHEN WE'RE RELIVING THE PAST AND WALLOWING IN MEETING EX 'THREATS THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH OVER THE YRS. PLEASE ALWAYS HAVE RESPECT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ALB AND HIS STAFF AND THE JUDGES FOR THE DIFFICULTY OF THEIR TASK AND THEIR COMMENTS WHICH ARE SO POSSITIVE AND ENCOURAGING AS WELL AS POINTING OUT THE MISTAKES. HAVE RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE MAJORETTES YOUR TROUPE LEADERS AND OR TRAINERS WHO SOMETIMES SEE THEIRSELVES AS CHEAP BABYSITTERS BUT GIVE FREELY OF THEIR TIME AND OFTEN AT TO THE DETRIMENT OF THEIR OWN FAMILLY AND PERSONAL LIFE, ER! WHATS THAT? WELL ENDING NOW AS WE'RE OFF TO FIND OUT ABOUT NEW THINGS LIKE SUNDAY DINNERS AND HOLIDAYS THAT DON'T INVOLVE RUSHING AROUND ALL DAY WIPING NOSES AND TYING LACES. OUR RESPECT TO ALL MAJORETTES AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS FINE SPORT. Vic AND Fran xxx
