“You must come next year” mine said to me, they have loved it for so many years, for CCF reasons I have not been able to go… but this year I am so so pleased I managed it… I /WE LOVED IT!

From the franticness of arrival to the high on our journey home we loved it all! Cookie’s we all just had this feeling, the feathers, the butterflies… it was going to be a weekend to remember!

The Grand Prix, you all gave it your everything and then some! I have never seen so many U10’s and U12’s in a line up and to have mine to achieve recalls, dance right up to semi’s and the smash their way to a FINAL was incredible!
