Following the cancellation of our Saturday night dance on 4th January, it has been rearranged for Saturday 15th March, with Kathryn and David Wright calling and Folkus Pocus playing. Please see the 'Dances' page for further details.
Last Monday it was great to see so many people return to club and have such an enjoyable night called by Audrey Gordon. Next week Kathryn and David Wright will be calling. Please come along and enjoy their thoughtfully prepared dance programme.
The annual membership fee of £5 is now due and the weekly subscription remains at £3.
We are pleased to announce that until Easter 2025 we will have heating on in the hall for our club nights. It has been pleasantly warm in Bader hall this year so far.
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 if you are new to dancing.
Remember that the week after next will be half term so there will not be any dancing but some of us will be going along to the Lighthouse Sea Shanty Singing (Pirate costume not required). When I get further details I will put them here.
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.
