There were fireworks outside, but the place to be on Saturday was the Nottingham Scottish Association’s Dance in the Village Hall! Nottingham Scottish members and friends enjoyed a great social evening of dancing. ‘Blinkbonny’ provided a lively programme of music – thanks to David, Debbie and Deborah – and our dancers worked their way through a fine mixed programme of dances . Great stuff!
Nottingham Scottish Members will be walking for Children in Need at Gedling Country Park at 10.00 am on Tuesday 7th November. We ask a minimum contribution of £5 to Children in Need, but please raise as much as you like! After the walk there will be lunch at Tree Tops in Mapperley for those who wish.
The annual Nottingham Scottish Dinner and Ceilidh Dance will be held at the Nottingham Masonic Hall, Goldsmith Street on Saturday 25 November (7.00 for 7.30 pm).
The Toast to Scotland will be given by Mrs. Rosie Allen and the Ceilidh will be led by Schuggie MacInnes.
Rosie was born in New Zealand and in her early life she spent time in Iraq, Pakistan and Thailand. She later settled in Norfolk before taking up the headship of a school in Nottingham. Since her retirement she enjoys walking, gardening and Scottish Country Dancing.
Schuggie has built up a great reputation and a big following for the ceilidhs he runs. We can expect a great evening!
Nottingham Scottish Men dance the ‘Reel of the 51st’. Maybe more gusto than elegance! Check out the video on the ‘News’ page!
Happy Birthday to Joan – 90 years young, in her prime and can still dance us off our feet! 
Dancing restarts on Thursday 7th September at 7.30pm.
Wednesday 6 September: Visit to Green’s Mill, Sneinton. Contact: Christine Vincent (0115 9523006).
