Our next Saturday dance on Saturday 20th April with Frances Richardson calling to the music of The Falconers. More details on the 'Dances' page
What a splendid night we had helping David Berry celebrate his 90th birthday. There was live music, courtesy Chris and Julie Dewhurst, and Audrey Gordon and Christine Dodd called entertaining dances, including special dances that David had requested. There was cake too! Over 40 people were there and the floor space well used. It was good to see familiar faces that we hadn't seen for a while.
We next meet after the Easter break on the 8th April, dancing to the call of Geoff Morgan. The nights will be even lighter, Bader Hall warmer - it would be good to have lots of dancers.
If you are an inexperienced dancer you don't need to wait to give our club a try. Term time only, Mondays 7.30-9.30 dancing, arrive a little earlier to book in and be ready to start dancing at 7.30pm. Your first visit will be free.
The Annual Membership is £5 and is due if you haven't already paid. The weekly subscription is £3 for members, visitors £4.
Bader Hall is spacious and well-ventilated, and we will continue to take anti-Covid precautions:
-
We advise all attendees to be fully vaccinated
-
Correct money would be appreciated, in notes or large coins. (Please avoid small change!) It is possible to pay for the whole term by BACS, ask Lynn or Sandra for details.
To find Bader Hall: From London Road turn into Borrowcop Lane and almost immediately take the left turn into Kings Hill Road and go up the hill. Pass the Leisure Centre on your right and the all weather pitch on your left and then enter the school grounds by passing through the double gates on the right. Follow this road as it goes right around the tennis court. Having parked above the tennis court, enter the building via the open door on the right and climb the stairs passing the gym on the way or via the new entrance to the Dining Hall.
We do not have facilities to make hot drinks. Water is available in the dining room, but no cups, so bring your own.
---------------------
In English Country dancing, people of all ages dance with a partner
but also in larger groups. Some of the dances are newly composed:
some have been enjoyed from as far back as the 17th century.
Dancing is a good way to remain fit and stave off the effects of old age.(click)

Prescribe dance instead of drugs GPs are advised by health chiefs. Family doctors are being urged to take up "social prescribing" after research found it cut GP visits and trips to A & E units by more than a quarter.
Dances are always explained to remind everyone of the
sequence of movements involved.
The music is normally CD's and led by a caller.
There is no need to come with a partner:
the atmosphere is informal with emphasis on friendliness and enjoyment.
Club nights are normally 7.30pm until 9.30pm at the Bader Hall of King Edward's School,
Kings Hill Road, Lichfield WS14 9DE.
