Last weekend, Victorians Wayne and Marlene Dopper and Peter and Chris Rhodes from the Chevrons along with Grant and Maryanne Richards from Melbourne headed north to Sydney's Olympic Park for the annual FATD South Pacific Rock'n'Roll and Swing Championships. The well organized graded competition was run on Saturday alongside the FATD Ballroom Dancesport Championships. Events included Rock n Roll, Rockabilly, Lindy Hop/Jitterbug and Harlem, with many competitors entering multiple categories.

The Chevrons Triples of Marlene, Chris and Peter took Gold, Peter and Chris - Gold in the Masters I C Grade and Silver in the Masters II Open while Wayne and Marlene achieved Silver in the Masters III Open and Bronze in the Masters Combined C Grade Freestyle (Lifts).

Grant and Maryanne entered a whopping 11 events and were suitably rewarded with several Gold, Silver and Bronze places. Lucky they drove so excess baggage wasn't a problem on their return!

Well done to the Vics!

A big thank you to Jan O'Shea and her Team for putting on a brilliant competition and organizing the after party at Paddys Brewery - giving the competitiors, organizers and judges a chance to party on after a long hard day of dancing!
