Term started on Wednesday September 9 with dancing from 7.45 to 10 pm, at our new venue of St Luke’s Church Hall. A link to the next programme will appear on this page a few days beforehand, for those who like to look at the cribs and/or videos. Dances are always walked through on a Wednesday, apart from one No Instruction dance, which is for more experienced dancers only, who do not need a recap or walk through.

The programme for October 21 will be posted here when it is available. Ian Slater is playing from 7:15.

From October 21, Betty will run a shorter taster/beginners’ session from 7:15 till 7:45 and from 7:45 until the tea break (around 8:45), when beginners can join the main class and dance with our regular dancers. That first half hour with just the beginners will give time for you to continue to learn more figures and some simple dances. From 7:45 to 8:45 we will dance dances that are a little more complicated but are achievable when you are in a set with more experienced dancers.

For a few weeks, the programmes for previous class nights will still appear here. They will be moved to Autumn 2026 on the ‘Programmes’ page in due course.

Ian Slater is playing for us on March 17.

The Autumn term ends with our party night on December 16, when we will welcome Robert Whitehead and Alan Brown again to provide live music. They will also be playing for us at our party night on May 12 2027 at the end of the spring term.
