Reading University Union Folk Dance Society: EnglishScottish

   +English and Scottish Dancing

Whilst our main team performances were at festivals there were other occasions when we got together to perform.

---+++ Rag Day 1967

After the 1966 Rag Day [[MaraThons][Marathon]] we kept the 1967 contribution simple - we danced outside St Mary's Butts

---+++ RUUFDS Dances

Of course we origanised dances for members, other students and dancers from other clubs. They were pretty good value. Anybody work out the entrance charge at today's price?

Cheaper prices for Doubles! You see that in the pub, but not at a dance these days.

---+++ International

It was great to see Stan Warren at the Reunion 2004. Of all the people there, he was the one that everybody agreed had changed least and was instantly recognisable. Stan was an essential part of the weekly meeting for many of us. Somehow one of the International records got into the archive.

---+++ Scottish

So what about the Scottish? We seem a bit short of information and photos of the RUUFDS Scottish dancers - other than those you'll find on the IVFDF and Festivals pages. Can anyone help here?
