Saturday Night Dance

21st October

Alan kindly organised a Saturday night dance for us, on 21st October at Hilderstone village hall (pot luck and raffle).  To quote Alan: Oh boy, when did this last happen in Staffordshire?

It really was a good evening (the raffle alone raised £40 for club funds).  So on behalf of the club, I'd really like to say a big thank-you to Alan (and Tess of course) and all the dancers from various clubs that supported us on the night.

This is the poster and this is the article I submitted to the LSD Mag.


Pot Luck & Raffle

27th July

As usual, we finished at the end of July with a pot luck and raffle evening, which was a great success... The raffle, raised a much needed £36 for club funds, so on behalf of the committee, it's a big thank-you to everyone that supported us.

One notable absence on the night, was Alison, who was visiting her friend in Lincoln at the time.  At least she still managed to go square dancing, even if it was at a different club (Bishops Eight SDC)!

Broseley Jitty Bugs SDC

16th June

As you may know, Trevor has alternated with Alan as caller at Blue Diamonds for many years, but he's recently moved to Lancaster and is now only able to call for us occasionally.  So, we were pleased to hear that Steve (from Broseley Jitty Bugs), would be able to call for us every now and then.

Steve has called for us twice recently and both times, we've had an enjoyable evening.  However, on the second occasion, he announced that it would be the last time that he would call in the UK, before moving to France.  Whilst we wish him well, this has left his old club (Broseley Jitty Bugs) without a caller.  I understand that they are hoping to get another occasional caller, but in the meantime, we've been pleased to welcome them to Blue Diamonds and hope that they will continue to visit us.
