Pat's Patter - Dance this weekend, No class on Monday, YouTube recording 22 Aug, Gembrook Dinner Dance

[Pat Noakes]

Flat Foot Floogie Dance is THIS SATURDAY 15 August $10

Last winter dance for 2015 - come in for another hot evening of dancing - looking forward to seeing you there.   Class tables will be reserved as usual.

St Matthews Church Hall, Cnr Warrigal & High St Roads, Ashburton.  

Please park and come in through the church entrance on the side street, so that we can have more table space in the hall near the car park door.

The dance starts at 8:00pm.  BYO whatever you would like.  Cold water, tea and coffee will be supplied.  Please bring a little something to put on the supper table for everyone to share when we take a break at 10:00pm

Please note - there is no social dance in September as the Church needs to use the hall that Saturday, but we will be helping Kenneth celebrating his "84 1/2" birthday on Sunday 20 September instead.   More details will be sent out as they come in.

   NO CLASS THIS MONDAY 17 August

Unfortunately the Ashburton hall will not be available for our class this Monday, so enjoy your night off (you many need to recover from Saturday's dance) and we'll see you back again on the 24th.

Tube recording, Saturday 22 August
