Harem Scarem - photos and review

Hope everyone had a great time at Shirl's Halloween Hafla at the Rogerstone and Bassaleg Social Club near Newport.

Wendy Hughes a.k.a. Zerhile of the wonderful wings enjoyed it immensely:

"Shirley's Harem Scarem II The Legacy, was a fabulous nite. Everyone had gone to so much trouble with their costumes and choice of music and dance routines.

"Everyone was fab - it's difficult to choose one above the other, but Stephanie was fantastic, Shirley absolutely wonderful, Safeena brilliant and all the group dances were superb.

"I don't know how we can top that off next year. I went home completely 'danced out', as DJ Andy excelled himself with the choice of music for the freestyle.

"The venue was good and looked amazing. Congratulations to Shirley and her team, she puts such a lot of effort and energy into anything she does. Well done!"

Meanwhile Shirley wants to add her response: "Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thankyou to all who contributed and attended Harem Scarem 2, Halloween Hafla.

"The event was a great success, the dancers were fantastic, the audience fun and enthusiastic and we raised £191 for charity.

"I'd also like to thank those of you who have posted in photographs - I don't have any so it has been really nice to see yours.

"Due to the demand for tickets and performance slots at this years event, next years promises to be bigger and better. I have booked Burleigh Hall, it has superb lighting and sound and a large stage for performances.

"If you think you would like to take part in Harem Scarem next year, please email your address and telephone number to me at justpooka @ yahoo.co.uk - I am currently compiling a mailing list so I can send you all information and booking forms promptly and simultaneously next year."
