Behind the scenes, we have had a fairly eventful month. Three new groups are ready to start namely; Art Appreciation, Open Books and Wednesday Book Club. Details of these are now on the website. We hope these groups will be successful and well attended.
Many of our groups are nearing, if not already, at maximum capacity, which whilst good in one sense is not ideal when new members join and wish to participate. We do ask our Coordinators to be as flexible as possible with the waiting lists.
Update on the possible dance group we want to set up
We have over 50 members interested in some form of dance group. We had a meeting with a couple who could potentially assist with this, but it would not be tuition of ballroom dance per se. They did point out that Sequence dance is the more suitable option for various reasons as the techniques and styles are easier to learn and just as enjoyable. We will be writing to everyone in July to suggest a meeting to explain Sequence dance and to see how we could progress this. In the meantime, have a look at some YouTube videos to see what Sequence dance involves.
