Phil Meacham

Your Host

Phil Promo Pic 2020.png

Phil has been immersed in the glamorous world of dance since the tender age of 4, with family memories of him joyfully grasping the dropped front of an old-fashioned Radiogram while wiggling his diaper-clad bottom. It's safe to say he's always been a natural performer, in addition to excelling as a professional dancer.

From those early days, his career has blossomed, encompassing roles as a radio presenter for the BBC and various television appearances, ranging from children's programs to the satirical gem "A Comic Strip Presents..." on Channel 4. This diverse background has uniquely qualified him to be a dynamic dance event host, these days also doing work as an after-dinner speaker.

His experience in dance hosting spans from intimate gatherings to the grand National Championships, with each event offering its own distinct flavour. The truth is, you can never predict exactly what will unfold when Phil takes the reins, but one thing's for sure: it will always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience!

Brooks

Scrutineer

Renowned as the "fastest inputter in the business," Libby's reputation precedes her as one of the most promising scrutineers emerging in the UK scene.

 

With her trusty laptop in tow, she's a familiar face at major events, where her adaptability and flexibility shine. Notably, she's a fixture at prestigious gatherings like the Blackpool Grand Finals, where her skills are in high demand.

 

Given her track record and expertise, there's no doubt that Libby is the perfect candidate to handle the intricate task of number crunching at "The Rayleigh," bringing precision and efficiency to every aspect of the job.

WHAT IS IT LIKE AT "THE RAYLEIGH"?

They say a picture paints a thousand words!
