club reports 2024
Our June dance was a celebration of the life of Robin Eddolls a Bath Old Time Dancer who passed away earlier this year. Robin was a Modern Sequence dancer at heart but he loved Gavottes and with his wife Pauline had supported Bath Old Time Dancers and our dancing holidays for many years. Pauline and Robin were also members of The Old Time Dance Society and came on many events until his health problems stopped him. We arranged, as a surprise for Pauline, for David Last to play for us as Robin was also a staunch supporter of David Last. Pauline and her daughter provided some extra lovely cakes and we all remembered Robin as we enjoyed the afternoon. |
Our monthly dances continue to be well supported and in March we had 36 attending, with lots of the dancers travelling some distance to attend. As it was nearly Easter we had hot cross buns and chocolate sponge decorated with Easter eggs in the interval and all the dancers were given an Easter egg. The programme included some good old, Old Time Dances to ensure we don’t forget them. Our April dance the first of our Tea Dances with live music by David Last and a “proper afternoon tea”, this year, fell one week before our Golden Wedding. As it was sold out we decided to celebrate with the dancers. As we are so well supported throughout the year we are able to provide live music twice a year and as usual David Last played spectacularly belting out some music that was wonderful to dance to. Our daughter made a celebration cake to go with the afternoon buffet tea and it was great to start our Golden Wedding celebrations with friends. After a family celebration lunch on Thursday we are travelling to London the following weekend for our Anniversary. |
