Hi, Just a quick not to say a HUGE thank you to everyone - two and four legged - who helped at Lauren's party yesterday. She had a fantastic time as did all of her friends and it made her 7th birthday a very special one.

Ashley did a great job as compare and the young lady leading Megan should have been on double time with the speed she had to move most of the time! Anyway Lauren and Elena and Scott will see you next week for their lesson.

Thank you again to your fantastic team: Fiona: Lauren's mum
