CHRISTMAS DANCE    9th Dec 2016

 

The eagerly awaited Christmas Supper Dance took place on December 9th in the Commodore Hotel. It was attended by some 110 dancers who enjoyed the excellent music of the Charlie Kirkpatrick Scottish Dance Band Trio. The band consisted of Nicky McMeechan on drums; Derek Hamilton on keyboard and Charlie himself on accordion.  Derek also competently supplied the vocal accompaniment.

The evening began promptly at 7.30 pm and the interval arrived all too soon. During the break an excellent supper of steak pie or salad, tea or coffee was enjoyed by all.  Much to our delight, the hotel management decided to serve each table separately this year and the arrangement proved to be a great success A very impressive array of prizes was then distributed to the raffle prize winners.  The raffle raised the magnificent sum of £240 , which will of course, be given to charity.

It was then time to welcome our star guest – Santa Claus.  He parked Prancer, Dancer and the other seven reindeer in the carpark while he distributed parcels of  sweets to all the tables. ( Mercifully he didn’t sing !!)

           The second half of the evening got under way and a great selection of dances was enjoyed till midnight  The evening concluded with votes of thanks to all who had made the evening a great success and a monetary gift was passed to the staff in recognition of their endeavours through the whole year.    

The final event of 2016 will be the Hogmanay dance , to be held in the Geilston Hall, Cardross, where the band will be the ever popular Stuart McKeown Scottish Dance Band Trio. Doors open at 8pm, the dance will start at 9pm  and finish at 2am.

              Please note that as of 11th December, some twenty tickets are still available for sale to members and non-members.  Contact number (01389 841728)

 

The  Association committee wishes all members a very happy Xmas.
