 Subject: Thank you

From: Dave Baycroft

A huge thanks to everyone who came to dance with us in Carlisle this weekend - I'm not so good at the goodbyes but it was our last Just Dance Carlisle with our co-hosts & good friends Dave Morgan & Debbie Morgan (Carlisle holds a special place in my heart ever since I was so proud & honoured to DJ their wedding night) & we want to thank them so much & everyone who has danced with us there since 2012 for so many happy memories, like so many other amazing places we've had to say goodbye too over the last few years - We love the event but like many others, it is just part of our slowing-down/semi-retirement plan with the aim of keeping on dancing less but longer - Stopping many regular/annual events, cutting the travelling & putting a good resting space in between what we can keep going with the help of our amazing friends xxx
Anyway we want to thank Dave & Debbie & all the Carlisle dancers for 14 awesome years - Best wishes to all & of course I'm sure we'll see all of you somewhere sometime on our semi-retirement circuit hopefully for a long time to come ........... Or on the radio which helps big time fills the gaps for me, my happy place instead of classes/events - If I can't be live, I can be live on the radio from my Toon DJ Den 🙂
