Photos & Comments from New Year's Eve Ball 2011

5 hours of music - MJ, Rock& Roll, Swing, WCS, Blues, Tango. A wonderful buffet (over 5 hours of cooking). Fireworks at midnight, dancing penguins, Katherine Jenkins on the giant screen closing the night, and some wonderful satellite images of the earth at night as we packed up. All at half the price of some of our competitors. 'nuff said...

Just a quick message John to say a big thank you for New Year's eve, The food was great, the music was excellent and both helped create the wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for all your hard work - Diane C

It was great to come to Bookham to celebrate! Loved the venue, really good floor and the numbers were spot on, it's always hard New Year as people do trend to stick with friends/partners but we had a lovely time and the people we did meet and dance with were great. Music was good as always, and I especially thought the live link up to london was a fantastic touch which worked brilliantly. A great idea watching the fireworks!! Definitely be visiting again... A big well done to Karen for the food too it was delicious. Thank you - Louise & Richard, Littlehampton

Many thanks for the two superb events for Xmas and new Year. John and I had a great time. The music was great, more upbeat to keep us dancing so thanks for that. I particularly liked the 'round the world music' you did, wonderful idea.I think everyone appreciates all the hard work that you and your team put into these events. They are certainly our first choice - Anne & John P

Yet again, superb evening, great music and we, as always, were made very welcome by your 'regulars' - Sylvia & Alan L - Deal, Kent

Musical taste is so personal, you're never going to please everyone, - I don't envy a DJ's job :) but for what it's worth, my first love is WCS, and I guess my 2nd is Tango, so for me, it was the perfect blend, great set & fantastic NYE night, thank-you John - Phil d B, Leatherhead

A huge vote of  thanks to you, Karen and helpers for helping to make this Xmas and New Year balls so fantastic.  It is obvious how much preparation is involved in putting on these special events and everyone I have spoken to really appreciates what you do for us dancers.

Looking forward to another fun evening on 14 Jan, meanwhile best wishes to you and Karen for a great 2012, may it be a special one for you both.  Long live Jag Jive! Sue G 

Thanks John (and Karen), for a great night with a great choice of music  - a memorable New Years Eve! - Jim S

John although I wasn't there I know it would have been the best night anywhere on the dance scene. Sadly I followed my friends to a different venue and it wasn't a patch on the previous two years with Jag Jive -  Graham F, Maidstone


Your evenings are one of the many reasons why I want to move back to Surrey! - Emjet H, Barkingside
