It was great to see so many dancers at the Christmas party and we will be dancing again as normal on the second and fourth Fridays until 12 April - after which it gets messy with Easter etc so we'll see.
I have a couple of new tunes and dances for the band to try out on Friday 11th so look forward to dancing then.
For reference we are at Lydham Village Hall, SY9 5HG with dancing starting at 8pm
See you there

End of season party
Our sessions stop for the summer with one last dance on Friday 11 May starting at 8pm with the Alphabet Band providing the music.
If you need a local fix for dancing, Guilsfield continue through the summer on a Monday night 7pm start. Best to check with them if it is there week off or you may find a horticultural society meeting instead :-)
Have a great summer

Dancing Friday 23 March
Just a few more dates before we break for the summer - not exactly what you think when you look out and see snow!
However we'll be dancing on 23rd March, and then hopefully on April 13th and 27th with our last session before the summer with the band on 11th May.
Hope to see you dancing soon

Dancing on 9 and 23 March
Fortunately the Beast from the East should have dissipated by Friday 9th March when we will be dancing at Lydham Village Hall from 8-10pm. If you are new do come along a little bit early and we can find out your name and provide suitable guidance. We are a friendly bunch and encourage swapping partners during the evening so everyone can learn.
9th March we have the Alphabet Band playing for us
On 23rd we have CDs which means the programme is a bit made up on the night to ensure everyone can dance who wants to. Last time we had fun with lots of 3 and 2 couple sets, whereas normally we more usually gravitate to longways. Don't understand what I'm talking about? DOn't worry as full instruction is provided and dances are tailored to ability

It's Christmas Time :-)
Alphabet Dancers will be meeting on Friday 8th December for our Christmas Party. Dancing from 8pm to 10:30 pm with a break in the middle for bring-and-share finger food. The weather is forecast to be a bit snowy, but it looks like it will be about 1cm in total with rain to wash it away, so we will definitely drive down from the hills to organise.
Dates for the winter term are 12 & 26 Jan, 9 & 23 Feb, and 9 & 23 March 2018, each 8-10pm with the band playing at the first event each month. In addition we will be holding a simple dance as part of the Bishops Castle Arts Festival on Sat 24 Feb from 3:30 - 5pm at the Three Tuns.
Keep on dancing and have a festive time

Springtime dancing
We met on Friday 28th April and had a great turnout, with a number of trickier dances enjoyed .
We next meet at Lydham VH from 8pm for our final "normal " Friday on 12th May with the band and cake as the last normal meeting, but don't get withdrawal symptoms just yet. We will focus on easier dances to keep a party atmosphere.
On Saturday 13th May there is a Barn Dance with supper included run by the Walking Festival in the 3 Tuns in Bishops Castle, booking essential. Paul will call and the band are playing. When I last heard there were 2 places left
And on May 31st we're the guest band & caller at Chetton near Bridgnorth. I'm sure lift shares can be arranged on 12th if people are interested
