[Pat Noakes]

A HUGE thank you to all of you who have reduced how much fragrance you wear in class - it is really appreciated.

Flat Foot Floogie Dance is THIS SATURDAY 17 October $10

We're glad to be back after our September break - come in for another hot evening of dancing (thank goodness we've got air-conditioning).   Class tables will be reserved as usual, please let me know if you wish to keep some seats aside to sit with friends.

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
