The dancers were fantastic. The conditions were far from ideal with non-stop torrential rain but they coped brilliantly. We had many compliments regarding their performance with many saying they were the star act! Please pass on my thanks to them and we very much hope they will be able to come back next year- when we will have the big marquee in place and no rain issues!
