Chairman’s Letter,
RSCDS Croydon and District Branch September 2023
Summer weather has been a bit hit and miss but hopefully everyone has enjoyed themselves. I know some have been to Summer Tuesdays at Pont St and many have been to our social dancing sessions on some Friday evenings with Mary. Thank you Mary for taking these on. Now September approaches we can think about regular dancing again. Our classes start on 15th September, in time to get our minds into dance mode for our first social dance of the season on 23rd. With a new book just published we will be working through the new dances in class, although quite few are popular dances not previously published by RSCDS. A couple more are dances I’ve done with our classes over the years, though whether anyone remembers or recognises them will be interesting. I look forward to hearing your views on these.
This autumn we see two important Branch events. Coming up first is our Eastbourne weekend, sadly we had to change to changes the dates to 17th to 19th November due to the uavailability of the hotel for our usual weekend. Anita returns as our teacher and we have Strathallan for our Saturday night dance. Then in December it is our birthday and we will be 70! We will be celebrating with a band dance on 9th December, Strathallan again our band. I hope to see you at both events.
Alison
