In Princes Quay our dancing was filmed from the balcony giving a great veiw of the patterns.



                                                                             Stainsby 1989 (Where we fell off the stage dancing The Primrose!)
Rochester Sweeps Festival 1994We pride ourselves on being able to finish dances whatever happens.  Primrose at Stainsby was the exception.  Some say the stage sloped, others that it was a hot day and the chilled beer was very refreshing.  What we know is that the dance slipped inexorably into a corner till we had nowhere to go but off the edge...


Whitby Competitive Folk Song and Dance Festival 1989Certificate from Whitby Competitive Festival 1993, we really did get a perfect score, once anyway!

Green ginger thoroughly enjoyed competing in Whitby Competitive Folk Song and Dance festival over many years.  Memories include painstaking efforts to find the middle of the stage, many memorable comments from the adjudicators and best of all the meal out afterwards!
