February 2015 - Part 2 - Ballroom Dancing Success

The Ballroom Dancing competition allowed Skipwith boys to shine. Sam Ryder-Smith, Harry Berkley, Liam Peachey and Jonathan Meadows all were first or runner up in a number of events. The big prize, The Challenge Trophy was won by a quintet including Peachey, Ryder-Smith and Berkley. There was opportunty for those not so fast on their feet to be quick-witted and the combination of Jordan Gibson and James Hargreaves on the microphone brought the evening to an immaculate close. Comments from Mrs Knight below:

‘Not only did the boys dance to a very high standard but they did themselves and Shiplake proud. I cannot congratulate them enough for both their behaviour and dancing, which was by far the best we've seen in years. The evening was capped by a brilliant speech by Jordan Gibson and James Hargreaves. A great time had by all!’
