SUPPORT R'n'R DANCING - BECOME A CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT SPONSOR

[RobE]

Bill & Ted would tell you that this year's Championships are already shaping up to be "most excellent, Dude".

Rock’n’Roll businesses and organisations certainly are responding to the opportunity to sponsor event categories at the 2008 State Rock’n’Roll Dance Championships.

These visionary sponsors are already Signed In & Paid Up!

Alley Catz

Geelong Juke Box Rockers

Gorgeous Retro Gear

Greg & Wendy Gilbert

Hooked on Rock

Lakeside Rockers

Little Maria

Pink Poodle

Top Cat Dancers

For $125 per event, as well as the satisfaction of supporting the comps we love, sponsors get:

- Get their name engraved on the trophies of that event category

- They are invited to present those trophies on the night.

- The sponsorship is emphasised while that event is taking place and is acknowledged throughout the Championships and in the pre and post event information, including on the VRRDA web site, www.VRRDA.org.au.

- The opportunity to circulate and display marketing information.

- Two complimentary tickets to the Championships and have to opportunity to book a table for the night at the discounted supporters’ rate.

How? Easy, just E Mail that you are interested to VRRDA@aanet.com.au.

Congrats to Frankie Stevens for joining the list of Championship event sponsors.

Also a couple of corrections:

Can you believe I left Shadoogie off the list? No only are our own "Shads" providing the music for the social dancing on the Saturday night but they will be participating in a competition "first" - they will play the songs for the State Champion and Junior State Champion competitions. www.shadoogie.com.au

And the Gilberts are of course S'cool House Rock & Swing www.scoolhouse.com

Hey RobE - does the VRRDA intend to make a DVD of the event, particularly of the dance competitions? I would be happy to buy a copy of the DVD, and I am sure there would be similar interest from others as well.

The swing people does it (ie make DVDs for sale) and I think it's a good idea. Hopefully, the profits from the sales contribute to the VRRDA finances as well.

Filming the Championships was discussed by the Committee but not pursued.

A DVD of the event would be a great thing to have but with the current state of resources it does not have as high a priority as some other matters.

BUT, if there is a movie making dance fan who would like to shoot the Championships we would be happy to talk.
