Hi Chris & Vonda…
As you’re probably aware by now, we have a new distributor located in Launceston - details as follows:
Sue Fenton
Just Dancewear
293 Wellington Street
Launceston Tas 7250
03 6343 6634
0409 154 954
justdancewear@bigpond.com
Sue would be delighted to help the Retro Rockers with their shoe requirements…
Sue only has a small selection of gorgeous shoes at the moment, but this will obviously build up over a period of time…
Also - if any of the Retro Rockers are going to the Swing Patrol Ball in a couple of weeks, Sue will have a display there…
In fact, we’re sending Sue down some extra shoes for the Ball…
We’d also be grateful if you could "give a mention" to Just Dancewear on your website - & in your newsletters…
regards
Mary & Ray

Where to stay when in Hobart…
