Archive entry for 1981


1981 was a difficult year with the standard of dancing not improving greatly and increasing problems in getting enough men out for dancing.  In September Spring Grove turned down invitations to both Thames Valley and Yateley days of dance though in July we did attend a Datchett day of the dance for the first time.  A new policy of dancing out developed in 1981 with every other Monday being designated for pub tours instead of practices.
