As well as our resident callers Clare and June we like to ask callers from neighbouring clubs to call for us. We welcomed Mike Barraclough back just before Easter 2022! Eleanor Mehew called for us in May and Norman Bearon called in June and will join us in January 2023 Bernie Culkin enjoys calling for us.
Playford and Playford style dances are very popular in our club. Alongside those to be found in the Barnes Collection I, 2 and 3 are the dances from Maggot Pie and Fallibroome. Hugh Stewart’s The Country Dance Book proves very useful and typical of the contra and contemporary material the club enjoys. Other dances are from the “Ring O’ Bells” series. I use tunes from the Portland Collections amongst other books, particularly for contra dances.
