Thursday 4th September - Members attended the "Live Longer Better" event at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield where they had 50 in the room with enough to dance 5 squares plus a square from Waggoners who intermingled by acting as "Angels". Towards the end of the session they were very pleased to be joined by Angela Rippon (in the white trouser suit) who had already visited other various activities. After watching a whole Tip (patter and singing call) she joined Waggoners members in a Square. .
Monday 8th September - Trudy was away with family commitments so Simon called for us with a guest patter call from David (Penny was also away visiting family). We had two squares and were pleased to welcome a visitor, Alan, a former Waggoners member from years ago. It was the birthday of one of our founder members, Pat, so we sang to her and also to Michael D, celebrating later this week.
We gained a new member when Peter G, who has been coming to dance with us over the past couple of months, decided to join us and we welcomed him with a round of applause.
Monday 15th September - With Trudy still away in Dorset looking after family, Simon called for three squares on his own with a full guest tip from Penny and guest patter from David who, due to a sore throat, was unable to sing. For her singing call Penny had personalised the words to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" to make it relevant to this evening's "Completion" for our Students, Val, Susan and Mihaela.
After Val, Susan and Mihaela had been presented with their club badges and certificates we all enjoyed our Pot Luck supper with teas and coffees supplied by David and Gill S. followed by more dancing.
