As you may remember from the last newsletter half of the programme was devised by Carol. She has a completely different source of dances from ours, coming from Canada, and these included some quite unfamiliar moves. These caused a great deal of hilarity, particularly among our one person audience, namely Dorothy! We only had an audience of one because we had just enough people for two sets so we all had to keep dancing! We finished the evening quite exhausted but thoroughly well entertained.

Scotland is famous for its long tradition of distilling single malt whisky, but Scottish brewing dates back to prehistory. The anagrams bring you pints to sample from many of Scotland`s breweries.

George Shepherd of Leicester Branch has just released preliminary details of another DIY dance holiday to Spain. We enjoyed a similar trip to the Costa Brava in 2008. Next year the destination will be the Perla Marina Hotel in Nerja on the Costa del Sol. There will probably be a couple of coach trips – the Alhambra at Grenada is a must. On other days there will be opportunities to walk in the surrounding hills. Evenings after the meal will be devoted to dancing to recorded music. We intend to go again, please see us for more details if you are interested.       Helen and Keith Rose.
