Strictly Worcestershire

On Thursday 22 May, eight couples from top Worcestershire businesses will be taking to the stage at the Chateau Impney, Droitwich to dance for the coveted title of Strictly Worcestershire winners, 2014! The evening promises to be full of glitz and glamour and will be in aid of the Worcestershire Breast Unit Campaign and Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer. It is sure to be THE ‘must be seen at’ event for businesses in the Worcester area.

Worcester Racecourse Business Executive, Laura Gurney (pictured below, right) has put her best foot forward and signed up for the dancing challenge alongside best friend of 7 years, Emma –Louise Vale (pictured, left) of Vales Dance and Theatre Academy. Laura commented: ‘Everybody knows somebody affected by breast cancer and having had some performance experience before joining the Racecourse, as soon as I heard about the event, I wanted to get involved.’

Organiser and Producer of Strictly Worcester, Gerard Smith of leading Worcestershire estate agents, Andrew Grant LLP will be ensuring live event updates are regularly available on social media. This promises to be a spectacular event in May. Further details can be found on www.strictlyworcestershire.co.uk and across social media (@Strictlyworcs on Twitter & 'Strictly Worcestershire' on Facebook).
