I’m sure we can rectify that situation! Will check the stash and see what’s left 😉

I’m upset that I just realised I didn’t get a black and/or orange AJs badge at DERT 😢

***CATEGORY ANNOUNCEMENT*** Is your partner a Rapper dancer? Then this is the award for you! Best HAB or WAG is our little way of saying well done to all you long suffering partners out there. Here’s last year’s winner, Katie Baldwinson, with her solid gold trophy 🏆
*CATEGORY ANNOUNCEMENT* We have a new recurrent trophy to award this year! Best Interpretation of Stepping will be awarded to the team we feel has the fanciest footwork. We’re VERY excited to debut the trophy. It. Is. BRILLIANT! Huge thanks to Trina for her handiwork!
*CATEGORY ANNOUNCEMENT* It’s an AJ favourite, the Buzz Tractor! For the team who leave the AJs buzzing. Who will ride off into the sunset this year? Have the Kingsmen had it engraved? Will Black Swan be robbed once again? There’s only one place to find out....#dert2018

We've been busy preparing for @dert2018 - dancing, stepping, cleaning swords etc. But applying more diamanté to kit, that has to be the most important element of prep. #moresparkles #weliketosparkle

*CATEGORY ANNOUNCEMENT* We’ve had some fab bribes over the years, including our beloved Wesson Wench (Black Swan) & the bum-shaped cake from Mabel Gubbins (by Jenny Cox). So, time to get your thinking caps on, folks...who will win Best Bribe 2018?! #bestbribe #everyonelovesabadge
