I enjoy the old time dancing style and as a member of The Old Time Dance Society I gradually became more and more involved in the organisation.

In 2003 I took on the role of Membership Secretary as a non Committee member and I was elected onto the Committee in 2004.  I continued to look after the membership and also helped out with the Society’s newsletter.
