February 2011
Mog has now danced Out with us for the first time at the Wassail at Combeinteignhead in February. The Wassail was, as usual, a great evening of dancing, wassailing, eating, drinking and music sessions- thanks again to Carole and Derek for their hospitality. We also welcome new dancer Chris who is learning our dances for the coming season.
January 2011
New member Sam (son of Rob) danced at his first
out last Saturday in Newton Abbot. His speed and agility show the rest
of us up, but at least he brings the Team average age down a lot!!
November 2010. ++New Members++
We are always very pleased to welcome new male dancers
and male or broad minded female musicians to join the team. Just come
along on a Monday evening at 8pm to the Bishopsteignton Community Centre
(opposite the Ring of Bells). We adjourn to the Ring of Bells at 10pm.
Don't forget new dancers are treated to a drink after their first practice.
We are pleased to welcome our new dancers Malcolm, Mog and Pete. Malcolm
has already danced his first 'Out' at Widecombe so he is no longer a 'dance
virgin'.

Congratulations

'A Knot For The Tying' at the Wedding to wish the couple a very happy
future.
