We have now stopped dancing for the summer.
Dancing
will restart on Tuesday 4th
September 2012 and
will continue on Tuesday evenings (not on Christmas or New Year's Days) until June 2013.
We are
a friendly club and we welcome all
newcomers whether expert or novice
– and you don't have to be a Scot!
We
meet from 8pm to 10pm on Tuesdays in the Village Hall (behind the
Church) in Chilton.
This link will take you to an online map locating our regular Tuesday
venue.
This one will
take you to the Chilton Village web site
Oh,
and having a number of Scots in our
ranks, we don't charge a fortune for our meetings
– £2 for an evening plus an annual membership fee of just £10.
Please
do contact the Secretary (see below)
if you would like further details.
Otherwise, just bring along some soft shoes on a Tuesday evening.
Our
2013 Ball will be held on Saturday 27th April.
We will again be dancing in the Old Mill Hall to Ian Muir and the
Craigellachie Band.
Here is a printable (PDF) copy of our 2012 Ball flyer
