Who announced they were turning professional after the event.
The big surprise (or not, depending on your opinion) was that Kenny
Mckechnie and Beverley Rees only managed to finish 5th in the Professional
Rising Stars Latin. A very poor result giving their previous standings.
They announced this week that they are splitting amicably.
Blackpool is always *such* an interesting time!
Paul.
