2020-09 35th Birthday

35th Birthday celebrations!

Well after a tumultuous year of pandemic recess and loss of hall, we came together to celebrate 35 years of doing what we love. Thanks to so many who made it along to join us at our 35th Birthday black and white night. A wonderful atmosphere and many visitors too. Congratulations to Trevor C and Della I for reaching 10 years with a life membership. Congratulations to Allan T, Karen and Murray, Margaret C and Bev D on reaching 20 years and receiving Gold membership. Thanks to Murray (SASDS president) for presenting our 35 year plaque and Rob E, club president, for the gift to Graham and Dawn.

Great to have visiting callers Scotty, Les T and Ian join us too. The clubs are the heart of our activity and we sincerely thank all of you who have supported us over the years. Looking forward to many many more.

2020-09 We’re Back!!

Great to back!! Our first Mainstream night back after the long recess. Great to see so many of our loyal dancers return with enthusiasm.

Whilst the Plus club has been dancing now for 3 weeks, this was the first dance in 6 months for many Mainstream dancers and a group who were part way through learning.

Thanks so much to everyone for your loyalty and patience as we also try out new venues for the MS group. This one at Fulham. What a great atmosphere and so..o…o good to see you all again!

2020-08 New Hall trials

Following the loss of our Monday Mainstream Hall, we have a plan to trial some different venues.

One is not available Mondays but is available Wednesdays so please read the table above to see where we are dancing, when and at what level. We do appreciate your patience as we work through this.

Note: No decision on swapping nights has been made, this trial has to occur first.

2020-07 Another club dinner during the recess

After such a wonderful club dinner 2 weeks’ ago, we held another! Last Monday (20 July) we once again enjoyed each other’s company at the Lockleys Hotel. Some who couldn’t make it last time came to this one. Door prize draw and some more fun videos – a wonderful catch up night. When asked if they would like another – it was a resounding yes. Stay tuned.

2020-07 Club Dinner whilst in recess

During the CV19 club recess, we were missing each other so much that we decided to get together for a dinner. The restrictions at this time meant the Lockleys hotel could seat all of us so we booked in for dinner. It was so..o..o..o nice to meet up with everyone again after 4 months and it was a warm, wonderful atmosphere. We even had videos playing of our club nights and a door prize draw. Thanks to all who came along – a wonderful crowd of nearly 60 people loving each other’s company!
