BCA WESTERN CLASSIC NEWPORT 2012 RESULTS!

What a fabulous weekend!  We did it everyone! We survived through dropout students, broken legs, a 6 month olds boredom, travel sickness, the M50 being closed and bedrooms from hell!!!

Well done to all students who participated!

SENIOR NON-TUMBLE DUET - Harriet & Beth - 2nd Place out of 4

YOUTH SMALL DANCE HIPHOP - Monday students - 1st Place out of 4

JUNIOR SMALL DANCE HIPHOP - Tuesday students - 2nd Place out of 2

SENIOR SMALL DANCE HIPHOP - Tuesday students - 4th Place out of 5

Even the catagories that we didn't place in, we still got positive scorecards with good results and lots of feedback to work on!

Thank you to all the cheer mums and dads who were there to help and support!

Shall we compete at DIsney Land Paris in 2013?

Parents and Students.

This morning I have been researching cheerleading competitions with other affiliations other than the BCA and came across Future Cheer.

They run a cheerleading competition called "Take us 2 the Stars" at Disney Land Paris!!

The competitions run in March and the one off price package include 2 nights stay B&B at a Disney Hotel, 3 days park entry, all entry fees for as many sections as we want, trophies, spectator tickets., free transfers from hotel to competition site & back.

The price this year was:-
1 adult & 1 child - £497
1 adult & 2 children - £683
2 adults - £589
2 adults & 1 child - £706
3 adults - £800
(children over 12 at time of travel qualify as an adult)

Flights/euro star not included.

I am seeing if you are interested in us doing this as our Sole competition next year?  If so we can start a savers club now to avoid a hefty cost all at once.

I think it would be a fantastic experience for all!

NEW HOODIES & JOGGING BOTTOMS

I AM CURRENTLY TAKING ORDERS THAT WILL BE HERE IN TIME FOR THE COMPETITIONS.  IF YOU WANT TO ORDER ANYTHING ALL ORDERS NEED TO BE PLACED BY SUNDAY 19TH FEBRUARY AT THE LATEST & MONEY NEEDS TO BE BOUGHT IN BY TUESDAY NEXT WEEK. (21ST FEB)

I have decided to opt against the diamante jogging suits after speaking to a number of suppliers.  The main reason for this is, they are not happy to rectify any items that lose diamonds that come off, when they are costing so much, I expect this as a minimum.

Therefore we are sticking with our old faithful print but have modernised it!

We have now changed to a Cheer & Street Academy so the design of the hoodies have changed.  We are now have zip ups.  Also our tee's will now be white and we have jogging bottoms!!

Hi Everyone

Here is an itinerary for the weekend!

Those going on the coach, we are being collected at 10:30am from the Church carpark next to Chellaston Academy on Swarkestone Road, Chellaston.  The trip should take 3-3.5 hours (allowing for a stop off).

Unfortunately all spectator tickets for the saturday have sold out.  If you haven't got one, then I am suggesting that on arrival to Wales, we report straight to the hotel & check in, then the coach will drop us all off in Newport.  You may want to go shopping, go for food etc.

You will then need to find your own way back to the hotel (taxi in large groups is probably safest option)

On the Sunday morning everyone needs to be on the coach by 9am. If you are not there by 9:05am, the coach will leave without you and you will need to make your own way to the arena.

Running order on Sunday 26th February 2012.

ARRIVAL FOR 9:30AM TO THE ARENA.  READY TO SET UP BASE. IT IS HALF TERM THIS WEEK, PLEASE ENTERTAIN YOUR CHILDREN BY GETTING THEM TO MAKE LARGE GOOD LUCK POSTERS.

10:51am - Senior Non-Tumble Duet - Beth & Harriet
11:34am - Youth Dance Hip Hop - Monday night class
11:58am - Junior Dance Hip Hop - Tuesday night class
12:22pm - Senior Dance Hip Hop - Elite
2pm - Youth Dance Pom - Monday night class
2:12pm - Junior Dance Pom - Tuesday night class

Many Thanks
