Ceilidh Dance Newsletter – 2021/22 #2

Let’s Have a Ceilidh  – Don Bartlett –  Play Favourites

NOTICE RE CEILIDH DANCES:-.

Well as you all should have heard by now the Ceilidh Dance scheduled for Friday, September 24, 2021 has been CANCELLED.  It was the right thing to do under the current circumstances.

We hope that the next dance will go ahead as scheduled on October 29, 2021 This will still be subject to Provincial guidelines etc. but all, despite the Delta variant, is looking positive.  We will have to wait for Bonnie Henry’s and the Provincial Government’s announcements to be certain.  All those planning to attend will have to have a BC authorized vaccination passport showing you have had two jabs and masks will be mandatory to enter the building and must be worn in the common areas.

The dances will continue to be held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver but, there is a slight change of time.  The class will be held in the large hall from 7;00 – 7:45 then we will all exit to give the band a chance for a sound check etc. and the dance will run from 8:00 – 10:30 with live music by Calanais.  Alison will continue to be your teacher/caller so you are guaranteed to have a great evening.  No change to the admission – still $15 with students $10.

The 2021/22 season dances are scheduled as follows:-
September 24 – CANCELLED
October 29
November 26
January 28
February 25
March 25
April 29
Mark your calendars now!

Let us all celebrate that we are getting back together for dancing and fun again.  Any questions?  please contact me.

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers.

The first boy says, “My Dad scribbles a few word on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $100.”

The second boy says, “That’s nothing.   My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $500.”

The third boy says, “I got you both beat.   My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!”

DOG FOR SALE: A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: ‘Talking Dog For Sale ‘. He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.  The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there. ‘You talk?’ he asks. ‘Yep,’ the Lab replies. After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’ The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young.. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’ ‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running… But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’ ‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’ The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. ‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says. ‘Ten dollars?  This dog is amazing!  Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’ ‘Because he’s a liar. He’s never been out of the yard’
