Canberra

[Seton Fanatic]

Which annual Canberra event did the Canberra round move from its usual public holiday spot? I know the answer only because my sister was a national champion at this, and I had to sit through this event which is more boring than watching grass grow.

Ball room dancing?

Just a stab in the dark there SF. You've mentioned it in another post and to describe it as 'boring' I hope I'm in with a win.

You would be right. I think my sister was a 10-time National Junior Ballroom Dancing Champion. She was head and shoulders above the others. She quit due to no one wanting to partner her in her specialised field, Latin American Dancing, and that bugbear, lack of money. Today, the people that she flogged to smithereens are the ones dominating the dancing scene. Sad, really.

Geez SF, kudos to you if you stayed awake during the competitions! With all that success by your sister, did the SF ever strut his funky stuff all over the dance floor? Or was your mind over come with high octance gasoline?

There must of been some powerful people in the Dance scene who must of held a grudge against the V8s for kicking them off their long weekend.

I cannot dance (or sing, for that matter) to save my life. My sister's ballroom dancing success came at one the more difficult periods of my life. My father had an accident, which had long-term consequences, finances were tight, and due to all these circumstances, plus another sister being born, the sttention paid to me between 10 and 15 was limited. But we all got over that, once I emotionally broke down at 15. I must admit to some jealousy at my sister's success, due to my thinking that she was the favoured child (I'm the eldest in my family), but I feel pride at her achievements now, that I'm more mature and considered.

There is no artistic bone in my body, Ozfords. The high octane certainly got to me and the overwhelming preference for the loneliness of Cross-Country running, excelling in sporting trivia, and being a fairly competent writer, as I know you are, as well, Ozfords, rather than the tediousness of dancing.
