Each year, we organise several social dances. These dances are a great way to meet lots of new people, and to put into practice what you have learnt during classes! Please contact our secretary if you need any more information.
Witham and District Caledonian Society is dancing!
Our new year has started and our first night back was full of laughter and catching up with each other. Some members were still on holiday but we had a good time. Our teacher, Fiona Richards will be with us on the 16th September. Thereafter she will lead us on the first Wednesday of each month and we look forward to her expert guidance. During the summer our Garden Dances were very well attended and few were rained off.
Looking to the future, our Autumn Dance will be held in the British Legion Memorial Hall on Sunday the 1st of November. Mary and Mac McLean have devised a varied programme that embraces favourites of the past and offers some of the dances that we have enjoyed more recently. A poster with more details can be found below and a set of cribs can be downloaded here.
The Burns Supper will be held on Saturday the 23rd of January 2027. Planning is in progress and we hope to offer an evening of Haggis, poetry and song with an entertaining speech to the immortal Memory of Robert Burns followed by some easy ceilidh dancing.
Our Spring Charity Dance is on the 14th of March and our Summer Dance is set for the 6th of June. Details will follow.
The Essex Ball will be held on Sunday the 25th of April. We are very grateful to Graham Easton and his team for being the such efficient organisers in recent years. A new team has been assembled and we look forward to recent successes being repeated in 2027
