2009 - CHILDREN IN NEED APPEAL
A recent charity event we have had involvement with has been with BBC Hereford & Worcester's 'Summer of Salsa' event in aid of Children in Need which culminated in a successful Guiness World Record attempt at Worcester Warriors Rugby Club on Sunday 19th July. This was very well attended and over 400 people took part in the Guiness record attempt for the worlds largest salsa class in a line
We would just like to say thank you to everyone who attended on the day, to those who were able to make financial donations and to those of you who danced in the downpour and set a new Guiness World Record. Special thanks also go to those of you who prefer to remain quietly in the background but without whose support we could not have participated in this event, it is very much appreciated
We taught the Children in Need salsa dance routine at several al fresco workshops on Saturday 4th July in Victoria Square, Droitwich Spa, and would like to thank all those of you who took part
