SATURDAY 29 MAY
8.45
– 10.30am Conference
& Workshops (see below)
Tours:-
Most teams will tour by coach to Robin Hood's Bay, Goathland or Staithes
on either Saturday or Sunday (teams coming for one day only will stay in
Whitby). Tour details have
been arranged to match coach capacity with the numbers booked to date
(important: late bookers cannot be guaranteed places) and are enclosed. For
those who have been to earlier Sword Spectaculars, we’ve tried to send
you to different tour destinations but this has not always been
possible. The 10am tours
depart from the Eskdale School main entrance on Eskdale Road, and the
2pm tours from near the Co-op Supermarket, Langbourne Road (near the
Railway Stn). Please arrive before the departure time – your coach cannot
wait. A tour co-ordinator
will be on hand to help you find the right coach, each of which will
have a Tour Leader to organise dance performances during the tours. Individual
ticket holders (i.e. not in a team) may travel on any of the tours,
subject to space being available. PLEASE ARRANGE THIS AT FESTIVAL OFFICE
IN ADVANCE. Town
Performances: At
other times on Saturday/Sunday afternoons, your team will be programmed
to dance in Whitby. Please
collect details of timings from the Festival Office.
Stewards will co-ordinate performances at the main locations. Civic
Reception (1) hosted by the Mayor of Whitby - all UK teams please
send one representative to this event at Pannett Park Museum (off St
Hilda's Terrace, up from Flowergate) from 4.30 - 6-00pm.
Two overseas groups will perform here 4.15-4.45pm. Late
Night Ceilidh: Saturday
night's alright here, from 8pm-1.30am, late bar to 1am. Dance until the wee hours to "Bedlam" - one of the
UK’s top young bands, plus floor spots including the overseas teams
who have to depart before Sunday’s Gala Concert. |
