Hi,

A quick message to remind you that on Friday 5 May we have a Club Callers night at Friday Folk.
This means that ANYONE can join in and call a dance. If you haven't done it before you would be especially welcome. We have a library of dance books you can use and various types of recorded music available.
If you're not sure how to get started, have a chat with me or any committee member. It's not difficult and we can offer lots of useful advice.
See you on Friday.
Regards, Bob Barrett
