Weekend in Upper Hutt 7/8 Sept 2007

Guess what we did in Wellington at the Gordon Elliott workshop. We left at lunch time on Friday after class. Stopped in Dannevirke for coffee and arrived at motel just in time for dinner. I think the most of the motel was filled with line dancers from Hawkes Bay. We all had dinner in my unit and Emily came up from Wellington city. We went off to the social after dinner and danced for 3 hours. Not much sleep that night, but we were ready for dancing and learning. We learnt 9 dances and danced from 10am to 4pm. Whew! We were tired out (putting it nicely) We then had dinner at hall went back to motel for an hour then back to dancing at 6pm until 10.30pm. We literally danced our socks off. Only problem was we had trouble getting the socks off when we got home. We crashed that night but were up bright and early to head to Greytown for breakfast. Colleen, Pam, Annette and Margaret, oh & Ray the driver were great company and we all got to know each other a little better including who can snore the loudest etc etc. A fun weekend was had by all. Learnt some fabulous dances, met some interesting people and the hospitalily was great.
