A good start

We made a good start at our first meeting. 27 members, drawn from 4 dance clubs and various music sessions. The floor was just about big enough to fit 9 couples when some of the musicians stood up to dance.
Elaine called the first dance. Circassian circle, to the tune Oyster girl.
Then Mo and Jenny called Playford dances from 1650. Sellenger's Round and Grimstock, with their own tunes.
Peter called Whale Bones, to the tune Bear Dance.
Joan called a modern reworking of an eighteenth century dance with it's own tune; Twas O'er the Hills and Far Away.
Pam called a Scottish dance, Domino 5; to the tune the Moon an Seven Stars.
Marilyn left her bandleader's seat to call Clopton Bridge. We played Worcestershire Hornpipe.
Ann taught us a Cornish dance to the tune Falmouth Polka
We finished by playing South Wind and dancing Circle Waltz with Ron calling.

We decided to meet again on the third Thursday of the month.

A good evening giving some of us plenty to think about.
