More on the TV Day for Top Lodge

The Top Lodge Trio and all their faithful "dance partners" were kept busy all day on Saturday 16th Jan.
Kath showed the crew a few Spice Moves
And Lesley showed Angus's new move along with others

And Karen showed some of Kes's moves too.

Not much room in the training hall with Director, Cameraman, Soundman and "Celebrity". All will be revealed one day :-)

The Trio on TV

The Top Lodge Trio have had a very busy weekend. In the midst of their training schedule for the Crufts Semi Finals being held on 30th January 2010, they have been fiilming with "twOfour broadcast" who are the largest factual features and entertainment programming outside London. "twOfour" has won a place on the Broadcast Awards 2010 shortlist in the Best Independent Production Company category.

The trio entertained the film crew and producer/director with their latest routines.

They filmed an entire day which included Erin, the youngest member of the Top Lodge Team being "taught" some simple moves for a short routine by the presenter.

More news on this to follow - including photos. But for now we have to stay quiet :-)

Lesley's Sunny Christmas

While the rest of the team shivered in England, Lesley was out in Spain for Christmas this year, but still had canine company with her niece's three Rhodesian Ridgbacks. A much warmer and sunnier Christmas day than back home in England!


Hamish and Angus still enjoyed the snow at home with their dad, Roger.
