The evening was organised to raise money for the refurbishment of the Church Organ. Jed Hughes was the M.C. and did a wonderful job. The programme started with Lewis Findlay piping in the dancers to a slow march and set the atmosphere for the evening as the audience burst into applause as we went round. The dancers then went into the Gay Gordons to the pipes and the second time through they took up members of the audience who joined in with great gusto. 20 dancers from the Technique Class took part in the various demonstrations which grew in number from 1 to 16 as follows:- |

During the first half Philip and Margaret Dawson each sang solo Scottish songs and a duet and during the interval Philip and Dorothy Manning led community singing. They were accompanied by John Key on the accordian and Faye from Weymouth on the fiddle. The whole evening went with a swing and was enjoyed by all, including Sandra Brown, the Mayor. £380 was raised for the Organ Fund, of which £125 from the raffle. Congratulations to all who took part and to Gill Hunt and Jeanne Townsend for organising the snack type refreshments with a Scottish flavour. |
