Congratulations go to the London Branch [Ladies] dem team for both winning the ladies section at the Newcastle Festival on 12th February and winning a second cup for the overall highest score across all competition sections; one of the two dances danced obtained an amazing score of 97 out of 100.

We were also very pleased to be joined this year by the RSCDS South East Branches, for both the mixed section and the display under the direction of Angela Young, repeating the display that we performed at The Royal Albert Hall last September with some slight adaptions. The mixed team were thrilled to be awarded 3rd place out of the 9 teams; quite a feat considering that the team were only brought together a few days before the festival.
