Over the weekend of Friday 1st November 2024 - Sunday 3rd November 2024 the Square Dance Callers Club of Great Britain (SDCCGB) celebrated their 70th birthday at One Leisure St Ives Indoor, St Ives, Cambridgeshire. Dancing, Squares and Rounds, was held in the Burgess Hall, the Dance Studio and the Drama Studio. The featured callers for the event were: Kevin Lovell, Gene Turner, Rob Branson, Trevor Day, Di Green, Emma Horsfield, Philip Mee, Granville Spencer and our own Trudy and Simon Fielding. Featured Cuers were: Teresa and Paul Hart, Judi Read, Steve Sturgiss and Nick Wright. Alongside the featured callers and cuers, all members of the SDCCGB had been invited to call a Tip or two and both David and Penny volunteered to take part with David calling SSD on Friday afternoon and Penny calling Mainstream early on Saturday afternoon.
Waggoners was well represented with dancers - the more experienced dancing the whole weekend and our newer dancers dancing SSD (Social Square Dancing) on Saturday. We were also very pleased to dance alongside our former members, Karen M and Jacqui N who have both moved away from our area.
Susie Kelly, who has been Secretary of SDCCGB for many years, will be retiring from this role at their next A.G.M. in March and Penny was chosen to present her with an engraved vase for her "Outstanding Services" during the "Presentations & Thanks" on Saturday evening.
The celebration was brought to a close on Sunday afternoon with a Tip called by Kevin Lovell, the SDCCGB President, after which a lot of people helped to clear up and the halls were soon back to normal.
