The Bulls Head - Clipston - 5th May 2016
The first "Dance Out" proper of 2016 saw the side struggling on what may be 'A taste lf things to come for the 2016 season'. A number of side members , dancers and musicians, couldn't make it and added to some confusion over the start time we didn't get going until about 8.00pm. There was a reasonable audience watching us at the start - then we realized we were dancing infront of the 'Smoking Area' - they did 'chip in fairly well when Bagman Geoff went round with 'the hat'. All things considered we didn't do badly with about 10 dances in all before failing light called time for Bonny Green Garters ( our finishing off song). It does however, make us thing that with the number of dancers we now have this season will be a struggle. We have already had to cancel the dance out at "The Shoulder of Mutton" , Foxton on 12th May and there may be more. The side do well considering that by the end of 2016 over half the side will be 70 or older. Its just a pity that try as we might we cannot find the number of new dancers we need.
Apologies for image quality this week , due in late start and failing light plus I didn't have the right flash gun with me - not that it mattered as I was busy dancing - No Video this week for similar reasons
