2026
Folk North West – Welcome to the new season
Next Sunday, 11 October 2026, sees the resumption of dancing at Samlesbury with our first meeting of the new season. Hilary Herbert will be leading the dancing with Denise, Norman and Sally providing the music. It should be an enjoyable and entertaining afternoon, remember we now start at 2 o’clock and the admission fee is £5.00 per session.
Following the example of the last couple of years, we will squeeze the Annual General Meeting into the afternoon; my plan is to have it during our tea break and to make sure it takes up as little time as possible – it’s very unfair to the caller and musicians to allow it to drag on! There is an attachment to this email that contains the agenda (with some explanatory notes), my Secretary’s report, Chris’ Treasurer’s report and the minutes of the 2025 AGM. As in previous years, paper versions of these will NOT be available on Sunday so please take a few minutes to read through them. If you have any queries or questions or disagreements, please let me know, preferably in advance - Sunday is about dancing, not having meetings!
A copy of the new season’s programme is above and I look forward to welcoming you back to Folk North West, next Sunday 11 October 2026 from 2.00pm at Samlesbury Memorial Hall. See you there!
Bill Barcroft
Secretary, Folk North West
