To compare, and for reference - These are the Prices asked for the Last Event.
A bargain "Early Bird" SeasonTkt for ALL of Gt Alne Long Weekend (details below: form HERE).

Or if visiting, you are equally WELCOME to come to any part of this long weekend of folk dance, music & song.

You're asked just one price to partake in any whole series of daytime workshops.

Similarly for an evening. All one price. Workshop before music start-up, through a whole evening's varied dancing.

We hope thus, you will try many kinds of dance. (Do things you've not done before?) Perhaps try making music too.

You may instead drop by even for just one daytime session. (Enjoy some delicious food too.) If you do this, then:

Please come-inside & sign-in. Just make a fair small contribution to our cost of hall hire.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Children under 10 years are free throughout (if accompanied by a paying, participating supervisory adult).
If visiting supervisory adults prefer just to watch your child - a token of £1 per child per workshop is appreciated. 
(£2 per child per completed workshop is an appropriate contribution as spectator of 10 to 16 year olds.)

We wish to pass on the active traditions of folk dance, music & song.
The price structure is to encourage parents (& grandparents also) to bring along children together with their friends:
to discover the joy to be found in the folk activities, dance and music available. 
The Maypole, the Border Morris and the Handbell Ringing make mid Saturday & mid Sunday ideal for visits.

We hope these prices and workshops encourage participation of young people, yet leave most of the evening for adults to dance.
Please bring along as many young people as you think may be interested in the folk fun, most especially in the middle of the day.
We are very appreciative that senior citizens are in general, pleased to contribute in the "adult" category.
This greatly helps to pass-on the joy of folk music and dance to a younger generation.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
We hope next year to provide a small bonus to show appreciation to all who have bought any 2012 Season Ticket.
