There climax to the 2007 contest season was on Saturday 31st March
at The Brentwood International Centre in Essex and once again the
Southern Knights showed what a strong organisation we are coming away
with 2 Championships plus a 2nd and 5th place - an excellent all round
achievement.
The Rugrats performed their Jazz Club show superbly and were
rewarded with their 3rd British Championship win in a row - a
magnificent year for these 16 young members and their staff.
The Junior Guard was the one that had made the most improvement in
the year and a strong 5th Place for these 15 members was well deserved
for their Mountain themed show.
The 8 members of the A Guard had been pushing for a top spot all
year but it would depend if they could pull a special performance of
their Hotel California show out of the bag - and boy did they do
that take 1st Place in the A Class - British Champions.
The Open Guard had been at the top of their class all season but
they knew they would have their work cut out holding onto it.
The morning Prelims performance put the 18 members in 2nd Place but
only by .3 of a point! Their evening Finals show was a superb
performance but not quite enough to jump back up and so Runners Up for
the second year in a row.
And so the 2007 WGUK season to an end and all 4 shows where
productions to be proud of. Congratulations to all members and
staff and thanks to all the supporters. We now look forward to what
the 2008 season will bring as welcome new members into the
organisation which will take our membership over 60 for the first time
in many years.
