REPORTS
October 2025
Almost two dozen dancers arrived at Samlesbury Memorial Hall for the start of a new season of dance workshops that will take us through the winter. Ian Jones had, by and large, left alone his instruments to lead the dancing with music being provided by a new combination of musicians; Denise, Becky and Sally were playing for dancing together for their first time, a new combination of musicians that we hope we will hear many times in the future. Ian lead us through some challenging but thoroughly enjoyable dances with his emphasis on style and interpretation of the music adding very much to our learning experience. Intriguingly today there were at times more men dancing than ladies. Does it matter? No, but it just shows how our world is changing! As in previous years, the tea break gave us the opportunity to deal with the administration of our Annual General Meeting and, as ever, since all the reports and comments had been circulated before the meeting, it was quickly over allowing a swift resumption of dancing. Thank you to Ian and the musicians for another excellent afternoon.
