August 2025

Monday 4th August 2025 - Despite several members already having indicated that they would not be at Waggoners tonight due to holidays or prior commitments, we danced two squares for every Tip.  Our Students were shown the move "Recycle" - there are now only a few more moves for them to learn before they have completed the programme.

Members were reminded of the importance of indicating their attendance on our "Tick List" - in case of emergency it is the list we would use to account for everybody. Likewise, if leaving before the end of the evening, the "Tick List" should be marked accordingly.

Monday 11th August 2025 - On a very warm evening we danced two squares to Trudy (Simon was feeling under the weather so stayed at home) with guest tips from Penny and David. David H was sporting a bandage on his right hand due to having seven stitches following an accident at his local Recycling Centre. Our Students revised the moves they had recently been taught as well as learning "Spin Chain Thru".

Just before the break David S, wearing a High Vis jacket and with  a siren alarm, ushered us into the School playground for a roll call as part of a Fire Drill. Luckily we all made it out safely and on our return to the Dining Hall were rewarded with a box of Celebrations from Michael D as today was his and Joyce's Wedding Anniversary. We sang the Anniversary song to Michael  who promised to sing it to Joyce when he got home.

Monday 18th August 2025 - On a pleasant evening we danced two squares to Trudy and Simon with guest tips from Penny and David. The moves "Spin Chain Thru", "Tag the Line" and "Half Tag" were recapped with our Students and just before the last Tip, which was going to be for "Everyone", Trudy gave the exciting news that she was now going to teach "Quarter Tag" and "Three Quarter Tag". After they had been shown these moves, Trudy announced that our Students, Val, Susan and Mihaela had now completed the programme and they received a round of applause from the members. It is planned that they will receive their "Completion" certificates on the 15th September.
