Programme for Spring/Summer 2012 

    We look forward to welcoming everyone to our evenings of dancing. We are a friendly group of mixed ability, all dances are walked through first, so do come along and have a go. Most evenings there is a workshop for beginners at 7.30pm, but please phone to check. 


    March 14th.   Dee Chapman is making a welcome return visit to call. Dee comes from Warwickshire and always gives us a really good evening of dancing. Our club band Kan'co will be providing the music. 
    March 28th.   Club caller Gillian Jackson will guide us through the dances.  We are delighted to welcome Kevin Downham to the club again. Kevin comes from Rugby and he is an amazing accordion player.   

    April 11th.           Tonight club callers Pete and Marj Hendy are working with a group of talented teenaged musicians from the Stroud area called 'The Downfielders'. It is a privilege to have such a young band to play for us and they will inspire us to dance with extra vigour.  

    April 25th.  The stage will be full with musicians from the big band 'Musical Folk'. This band encourages anyone who is interested in playing for folk dancing and John Thorn, the leader, always welcomes new members. Club caller Lionel Parkhouse will be helping us through the dances.
