Rhodri Davis is fully in touch with American Contra & its modern embellishments.
He is brilliant in conveying an effective appreciation of these.
We anticipate a Friday Eve Contra Dance from Rhodri, and workshops on Sat & Sun.
We look forward to his visit, and to sharing dances with his family.
Lunchtime Concerts. A new feature for '09 to allow us to appreciate the variety of folk instruments, and the very talented playing skills of our musicians.
If there was an aspect of 2008, or previous Long Weekends which you particularly enjoyed,
or if you wish to contribute ideas, please email a feedback, or ring, or tell André.
Monday. Oversley Wood bluebells: Afternoon walk. Always a joy. Many are able to share the Monday at Gt Alne.
A delight especially for those who have visited from The Netherlands.
Our caterers at Gt Alne offer a choice seated Monday served lunch in the hall. We order during the morning - alone worth coming to share.
After lunch, a gentle waltz from Karin.
