October Ceilidh Dance
The dance in October was a busy event with over 100 dancers in attendance for the visit of Donnie and Diane. Our Association has been fortunate over the years to secure the services of this talented pair of accordion players and their play resulted in another great evening with the floor only empty while we were entertained by our guest artistes Daryl Lynch and Alanna Isabel Wright. Daryl has been piping in Hogmanay for the Association for several years and opened the event in traditional fashion with a varied selection of music. This was Alanna's first visit to Helensburgh however we hope to see this rising talent back again in the future. Her selection of songs showed off a full range of her musical ability and both our artistes well well received by all present. We are grateful to Alanna for stepping in to fill the gap left when our other singer was struck down with illness and could not appear at the function.
The raffle raised a healthy £240 which will go towards our charity donations next year. Thanks to all who handed in prizes and purchased tickets.
Christmas ticket sales are going well so get your name in for another great night. (£14 for non-members, £12 for members). As always we are hoping that Santa will find time in his busy schedule to drop by!!
Our entertainment at the next function on 29th November will be the ever popular Marian Anderson and her band so if you fancy a good night out come along.
A warm welcome is extended to all.
