Itinerary

Ladies please note, the ballroom has a superb dance floor, with great acoustics. However, hotel air conditioning is very effective, and if external doors are opened for cool fresh air, although this makes for a wonderfully comfortable temperature on the dance floor, for ladies, when not actively participating in the dancing, a “wrap” may be appropriate.

Drinks with your meal. Dancers, as you know, Carole and I prefer the holiday runs like clockwork and in particular we all sit down together for dinner so that the meal can be served freshly cooked, hot and delicious.

Given this will be a very relaxed break, we imagine more dancers than usual will avail themselves of a pre dinner drink or want to order wine for their table. We would therefore ask you to consider that the bar may be quite busy before dinner and to ensure you sit down with everyone else, ‘on time’… please arrive very early to order your drinks.

New Years Eve Dance Holiday – Dance Breaks

Fancy Dress Ball 8.30pm – 10.30 pm (ish)

Light Finger Buffet during the evening.

Dress Code: Fancy Dress (your choice of Fancy Dress – let your imagination run wild!)

It is mandatory to take part in the Fancy Dress theme, and we regret there will be no access to the ballroom unless you have made every effort to be involved in the dress code. Please take part, to create the atmosphere for the occasion.

We do accept some people find “fancy dress” a little daunting, but these events are wonderful occasions and are “spoilt” when dancers do not make the effort to support the theme,

… and you wouldn’t want to feel under-dressed!?

Morning Breakfast
A leisurely breakfast between 8.45am – 10.00am and time to say goodbye to your dancing friends

Finally, Carole and I believe we have put together a packed itinerary holiday for you to enjoy… but may we remind you…
It’s your holiday…!

Pace yourselves, do only as little or as much as you want to do… relax, enjoy and go away with fond memories of a delightful holiday.

Have a lovely Christmas and Carole and I look forward to welcoming you to this very special holiday…

And a sincere thank you for your support of all we do….

Paul & Carole
