A very big thank you to the “Axminster Musical Theatre” for arranging a fund raiser at Kilmington Village Hall and inviting us along. The evening was well attended, with a generous show of food and a great raffle. Chris taught his new dance “Travelling Man” which went well, rather a quick dance but everyone managed to pick it up. The evening went by very quickly and plans have already been put in place for us to visit them again next year, so watch this space. Thanks to everybody who came along and made it a great success. See all the pictures here. Our Sunday Tea Dance was very well attended and the buffet was absolutely super which was supplied by everyone who came along.

One question on the sheet “Name four top UK hit singles that Cliff Richard had before 1985 that began with the letter W” well there you go, see what I mean.
