On a lovely sunny evening nearly 40 dancers came from other dance groups in Sheffield, Chesterfield, Leicester, Derby and Newark to join us for our Annual dance at Lowdham Village Hall. The hall is such a good venue for our dances, it has an excellent floor, and with the fire doors open onto the field behind letting in the glorious sunshine on such a lovely evening, we were all very comfortable. There was plenty of fun, friendship and our shared love of Scottish dancing which kept us all dancing away until we sang Auld Lang Syne before going our separate ways home.
The live music from the Chris Dewhurst Band, aka Chris and his wife Julie on accordians, and son Nick on drums, gave us all such a wonderful lift and kept us light on our feet! There were some fabulous tunes, the strathspeys were particularly beautiful, and the tempo was perfect as ever.
The miracle of a Bring and Share supper works every time, its amazing – such a lovely variety of finger food to keep us sustained through to the end of the evening, and a chance to chat together at the interval.
Many thanks to everyone who helped to make the evening so special, and to our MCs Elizabeth and David.
