The Directors of the ISDC Dance Festival, Audrey Singleton & Jill Whitter, would like to say a very big Thank You to Jan Kendall, all the management & all the wonderful staff in every department at The Spa, Bridlington & also to William Hall at the East Riding of Yorkshire Council (E.Y. Events) for helping to make the ISDC Dance Festival a resounding success. The professionalism, courtesy & attention to detail simply cannot be bettered. We have been looked after so well by everyone at the Spa over the last 25 years and although we are very sad to be leaving, we feel sure that the memories & the music will always linger on around that magnificent ballroom.

A very special surprise for Audrey Singleton -Director of the ISDC Dance Festival, which was superbly (& secretly) organised by Avril Watkins - the beautiful and very thoughtful gifts will be treasured forever. Thank you so much to Neil, Lesley, Avril & Graham & everyone who took the time to partake, write such touching messages, provide wonderful photographs, all presented in a splendid album. Along with a stunning engraved crystal glass bowl & wine glasses & a beautiful canvas portrait of Audrey and her husband Stuart (former Director of ISDC). Audrey was completely overwhelmed by it all & thanks everyone with all her heart.

Following a very succssful & emotional final 2018 ISDC Dance Festival at The Spa, Bridlington, Audrey & I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge & heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along to support us.

We hope we delivered an event that will leave you with many happy memories.

As always, we are so fortunate to have had our our truly wonderful ‘team’ helping us along every step of the way and our sincere gratitude goes out to -

Many thanks to the Adjudicators, (NVC Roy Sharpe), Elaine Sharpe, Alwyn Leathley, Muriel Aldren, Arthur Parr & Graham Thomson.

Thank you to our Scrutineers & Script consultants, Martin & Sarah Bird, & to Neil Marshall for the CD music.
