Bonjour
 
Just a quick note before you all rush 
of on holiday somewhere not wet! What is all this stuff about climate 
change...wet Wimbledon's have existed forever!!
 
Firstly thanks to everyone who turned 
up to support our display at the Folkestone Multicultural Festival - it stopped 
raining just in time for us to do our bit and there were enough of us to make it 
look interesting and fun. We got some onlookers up and dancing and we all 
enjoyed it.Perhaps next year we can get a bit longer to strut our stuff. A big 
thanks to Chris Walshaw and Richard Jones who stepped in last minute to play 
their wonderful music for us to dance to.
 
Next...Don't forget to come 
along to Broadstairs Folk Week in august. We are doing a dance workshop on Wednesday 15h Aug from 
3.00-5.00 at Upton School with Meridian providing the music. It is much better 
if we have experienced dancers there to help us show the novices how it's done 
so please try and come along to help make it all go well. On the same evening 
Meridian are hosting the evening Bal, again at the school from 19.30-22.30. So 
time to let your hair down ,meet old and new friends and just have some 
fun.
 
Next... On September 15th 
we are again doing a spot at Deal Maritime 
Festival...On the seafront close to the pier 
between 1230 - 1400 we will be dancing for the public but encouraging them up 
onto their feet to have a go. It was a lovely day last year with the opportunity 
to sit and have a drink whilst watching other performers, so do try and get 
along and help us put on a good show. The following day is Les Batons and to kick start us 
after the summer break we have arranged for a French Group Chemins de Traverse to come and play for us. I 
haven't heard them but am assured they are great... so don't miss out on the 
opportunity to hear some great music.
 
 
I am off on holiday but expect more emails and 
reminders when I get back!!!
 
Have a good summer
