Next Event:
31st March - 1st April, 2006
Hope

(...and the event after that...)

Friday evening

  • 8.00pm-ish - Meet in the Cheshire Cheese (map) and have a drink and session.
  • The indoor camping is in Loxley Hall (map) which can be a slight challenge to find. Look for the church, there's a parking area at the front of it. Stand in the parking area with your back to the church, look right, there is a gate and beyond it a set of glass doors, which lead to the hall. Kitchen and loos available, no showers.

Saturday workshop and danceouts

  • 10:00am - 1:00pm Workshop in Loxley Hall (map)
  • 1:00pm - 2:00pm Lunch (in hall kitchen, pub or sandwich shop)
  • 2:00pm - Dancing at one of the pubs (Poachers?)
  • 3:00pm - another of the pubs (Woodroffe Arms?)
  • 4:00pm - the Tea Shop (Woodbine Cafe)

Dinner

  • Use the hall kitchen or go to the pub.

Saturday evening session

  • Dancing/playing (maybe the Old Hall, maybe Loxley Hall)

Sunday

  • 10:00 am Walk to Castleton for more dancing at the Cheshire Cheese, the George, possibly the Bull, and wherever else we fancy.

Accommodation options

  • Indoor camping at village hall £4 per person per night. Bring a bed.

  • If you get any good pictures, send me copies, it might motivate me to change the photo gallery.

Lastly, a reminder that anyone with an interest is welcome to join us. Rag Jackets available to borrow(sometimes). Repertoire for this weekend will be the same as previously, see Dances and/or Tunes, some of which are grossly wrong, so don't get too involved.

The event after that:

Well, there's the boat trip 5-7 May, which is extra (not one of the regular four yearly freaks) and then a freaks in probably early july, no date set yet. Working on it.
