“Didn’t We Have a Love … erly Time the Day we Went to Strictly?” Apologies first of all, to anyone not familiar with the 1979 hit single by Fiddler’s Dram recounting their trip to Bangor – hence the title. However, I’m sure we’re all familiar with the phenomenon that is “Strictly Come Dancing”. Here, our own “Dancing Queen”, Claire, shares with us her recent fabulous day out at the “Strictly Live Tour” date at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on the afternoon of February 6th. Claire was accompanied by her mum and both were delighted to have been invited to travel in style and see the stars, courtesy of leading local coach travel and excursions specialists, Shaws of Maxey. From the moment their driver, “Jolly” Jason, welcomed them aboard, issued clear instructions and helpful advice, eased his coach effortlessly through heavy traffic to return them safely and in extreme comfort, the treat was a wonderful success. Highlights abounded, including a show-stopping dance from judges, Darcey Bussell and Shirley Ballass, (not as if Aljaz, Pasha and co. really need showing how it should be done). Joe Sugg proved a worthy winner on the day, whilst Ore Oduba compered beyond compare … and Craig just had to offer his suggestion on how the day went for Claire and her mum … FAB – U – LOUS!!! Claire is very grateful for having been given the opportunity of experiencing one of Shaws’ many day trips offered this year. They are many and varied and offer extremely good value for money. Why not treat yourself this summer?
