Sorry about your Mum. Was she spared the abomination of "2020" cricket?

Quite a few Universities have formation teams and they also compete at the British Closed Championships, amongst many other comps.”

Thanks for the clips Bendy. You know, I have never seen the Penge formation team!!....will watch later when home. Sadly ( My opinion) I'm not so interested in formation team dancing, but I can only imagine at the hours spent learning these routines, working to obtain the same shapes, speed, changing of rhythm etc. I have seen teams from China though, that have been very innovative with fantastic dancing too,

She was - and abinination would have been the right word! She used to say she only liked the days of Denis Compton and Bill Edrich - that was the 1940s and 50s!

Peggy Spencers' teams were formation dancers, with routines based on ballroom or Latin dance. Sequence is a different style.
