APRIL
We were invited to the Kington Langley club run by Daphne Miflin that is held on every Monday evening, because she had a surprise for all her dancers, David Last was playing for her, we were made very welcome by Daphne and her group and it is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
March
Along with many from Bath Old Time Dancers we headed North again in March to Grange-over-Sands for the Old Time Dance Society Spring Weekend. We all thoroughly enjoyed the event and again we had great weather. The Cumbria Grand hotel was a very friendly hotel clean and comfortable with lots of lounges for groups to gather for a chat over a drink. Because we were so lucky with the weather we were able to get out and about in the day. Plus three great evenings of Old Time dancing in such a friendly atmosphere, including the Saturday night with Ann and John Rainey as leaders giving us a fabulous demonstration. Elizabeth Harrison was our musician for the weekend and we enjoyed some wonderful tunes to dance to. The journey home was quite eventful as we were held up near Gloucester due to goats on the motorway!
February
In February we travelled to Lincoln for the first Old Time Dance of 2024 organised by Jacqui & Allan Todd and Jean & John Parkinson. We were not sure we would be able to make it as sometimes we have snow in February but the sun shone and we had a good journey up. It was a great afternoon with a lovely friendly crowd. The cream scones are to die for, not to forget an excellent programme of Old Time Dancing.
