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

Lydham Dance 24 March
Following having 30 dancers last time we hope that we'll again
have a good crowd this Friday at Lydham for our normal evening dance
starting at 8pm.
The next dance after that will be on Good
Friday - 14 April. This will be with the band, and last year we had a
great attendance. The weather wasn't brilliant but obviously people are
on holiday and like the opportunity to get out and socialise.
A
reminder that the music workshop is running again this year on Sunday
June 11th. We are lucky to have obtained the services of Paul
Hutchinson to again lead the workshop - his instruction from 4 years ago
is still the peak for me - with Maggie Hosking calling the dances.
I've seen the dance list and there will be a wide variety of tempos to
challenge the band, and a few different dances to entertain the
dancers. Maggie doesn't do difficult - the whole point is to allow as
much music as possible to be played on the day.
