CONTINUING THE TUESDAY CLASS STORY….

NOTWITHSTANDINGTHE FACT THAT WE HAVE ONLY 1 OF OUR ORIGINAL FOUR STALWARTS WHO TURNED UP TO ENROLL ON THAT FIRST TUESDAY IN ’05 THERE ARE NOW 30 REGULARS ON THE BOOKS OF WHOM 16 ARE ALSO RSCDS MEMBERS.

NEW BODIES ARRIVE FROM TIME TO TIME. THEY ARE DULY HOOKED AND READILY ASSIMILATED INTO THE MYSTERIES OF KNOTS AND TOURNEES AND THE DREADED STRATHSPEY POUSETTE!

OUR 5 TEACHERS COPE AMAZINGLY WELL WITH BRAND NEW FOLK WHO TURN UP WHEN THE MENU READS SOMETHING LIKE QUARRIES’ JIG. A QUICK OFF THE CUFF EASY ESPIE MACNABB, THEN “ LAY ON MACDUFF AND DAMNED BE HE WHO….”.MUCH WAVING OF ARMS AND HEADS PLUS DIRECT EYE CONTACT AND IT’S DANCED….. SORT OF.

AT ANY RATE IT BEARS OUT THE TRUTH OF “HEADS UP AND LOOK AT YOUR PARTNER”. PANIC IS EASY TO SPOT AND NOT JUST TO THE TRAINED EYE.

WE ARE ALL GETTING YOUNGER SINCE WE COPE WELL WITH CLIMBING THE STAIRS TO THE UPPER ROOM. ORIENTATION WAS A BIT ROPEY AT FIRST WHEN WE TURNED THE SETS THROUGH 90 DEGREES, SO WE REVERTED TO UP AND DOWN THE ROOM AND NOW HAVE 2 LINES.

A REFORMATTED TEA ROTA IS ESTABLISHED, MUCH LIKE MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS. - NON TEACHING TEACHERS DO LIKE TO DANCE TO ASSUAGE THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS AND BESIDES, IT GETS COLD IF YOU DON’T!

SO IT GOES ON AND LOOKS LIKE IT’S HERE TO STAY EVERYBODY LOVES TO DO WHAT THEY ENJOY WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLE I.E DANCE AND LAUGH AND MIX AND MINGLE. IS THIS THE TRUE SPIRIT OF SOCIALISM!

COME AND JOIN US ON TUESDAYS FROM 1.30 UNTIL 3.45 P.M. COST £3.00 TO NON RSCDS MEMBERS AND £2.50 FOR RSCDS MEMBERS.
