Keep your fingers crossed.

Cheers for now. Ken.

Back in the past when we ran comps on Noah's Ark, our top Professional couple was Joan Turner and Aubrey Noble. Joan actually passed away about a year ago. A fantastic teacher and she trained me to become undefeated junior champion.

Our top Old-time couple was Freda and Denis Johnson, When Freda took the floor all eyes were on her. She is still teaching. In later years top spot in Old-time belongs to Danie and Sandie Roux. Top amateurs in the past included Chooks and Edie Cambell, Pat and Aubrey Burgess, Ken Lightley and Emily Jones, Paddy and Iris McNamara, Bill and Daphne Logan, the Morgans, Tommy and Alice Watson, and many others.

In those days they also had a mixed section - Amateur dancing with a Professional. My teacher at that time - Isabelita - suggested that we enter. We actually won, beating the likes of Joan Turner and Ray Stobbs.

Top teachers in the old days were Joan Turner, Billie Dean, Isabelita, Dorothy Warren, Ewen McColl, Doug McKenzie. Competitions in those days were organised by the Rhodesian branches of S.A.D.T.A and R.D.T.A. and the Bulawayo Ballroom Dancers Assn.

On turning adult, I teamed up with Cherie and we won the Novice, then Pre-champ and were finalists in the top Amateur section. Turned Professional and were runners up. We then gave up.

In later years our eldest daughter Sherryl became Junior champion and then our son Rodney became a Junior champion. Later on Sherryl's daughter Taryn became a talented dancer but has now started aerobics and after only 3 months won a silver medal in the national championships.

So much for the past - the good old days and we had some wonderful demonstrations by couples from overseas due, in the main, to our links with S.A.D.T.A. who used to include us in their tours when they brought couples out from over the ocean,
