NWDA was formed in 1997 by Elaine Flood. We started up with just four troupes, over the following five years we ran a very successful association with many troupes coming through our doors. Unfortunately we folded in 2002 due to health problems of our founder Elaine. But you can't keep a good dog (rabbit) down and in Sept 2007 we decided to raise the phoenix from the ashes and so NWDA was reformed with the support of all are old regular troupes. Our top table consists of Elaine Flood founder member, Alan Winstanley chairman, Jan (forgetful) MC on the mike, Yvonne Mason secretary and judge, Lynn Spencer scrutineer, Treasurer Ethel Winstanley Our lovely team of bespectacled judges (they went to specsavers) Pam, Carleen, Ann, Diane, Tracy, Debbie, Sian and Teresa ( please tell me I've missed anyone). Last but not least Roger the rabbit who was recently taken from us and returned in a very sad condition, he is recovering well and should be back on the centre when he is feeling up to it.
