Well the 2014/15 Ceilidh Dance season got off on the right foot (well most of the 75 in attendance managed that some of the time – using the right foot that is!) Yes we had at least 75 folk there including quite a few from a group called “Meet Up” where I advertise the Ceilidh Dances. From comments received the response was positive so I think many of them will return in October. The band was in good form and we tried out 3 new dances, 2 of which I shall repeat in future dances. Thanks to all who came and a big thanks to Francis, Bonnie, Richard and Gil for all their help and, of course, to all the members of the band “Calanais” who make my job so much easier.
The new food seemed to be fine as there was very little left to give away at the end. Francis tried bringing some chips (crisps if you come from Scotland) and they disappeared as well. It worked out slightly more expensive but I was anticipating that as the Laidlaws were very generous to us over the years.
I have contacted Stuart Somerville’s daughter and she thinks it would be a great idea to dedicate the Ceilidh Dance on October 24 to Stuart and make it a fund-raiser for the BC Cancer Foundation. I think the Branch will be onside as well and I have approached the Cultural Centre and they will give us a break on the rental cost. So we are on!! Now I need lots of help to make this a success. I do not want to increase the admission price as that may inhibit some people from attending so we need to look elsewhere for ideas to raise money.
We could have a 50/50 draw; a raffle; silent auction, ask for donations – any or all of these and I am sure others will come up with other ideas. I really need volunteers to help to get these ideas off the ground and we have less than 4 weeks!! A raffle and silent auctions will need donations of prizes etc. and that may entail making requests to retail stores, restaurants, etc. etc. If you would be interested in any of these fund-raising activities or have another suggestion you want to try then please contact me as soon as possible. Lets make this and event we can be proud of. It is a great cause and Stuart was a wonderful person.
Of course if you are from out-of-town or are for some reason unable to attend you could always send a cheque – donations of $25 or more will get a charitable receipt. Make cheques payable to BC Cancer Foundation and mail them to:

I saw a few snippets of the Ryder Cup golf on the TV. Never saw a picture of the hotel but the golf course and the scenery looked very nice and it seemed as if it was dry!!! Of course we have our own Gleneagles over in West Vancouver and there is a Scottish Country Dance club with that name too. They are hosting a dance on October 18 which is being dedicated to John Drewry who was a prolific dance devisor. The programme for this dance is made up of his dances – see below for details.

The next regular Ceilidh Dance is on Friday – October 24, 2014 – in the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver. Start to make plans to come along as we really need all of you. This is a fun and inexpensive way to have an enjoyable evening out with family and friends. Tell at least 2 friends to join you, forward this e-mail to more friends and encourage them to sign up for the newsletter and to come to the Ceilidh Dance. Think of the great exercise you get as well. See below for more information.
For well over 10 years Jock & Cathy Laidlaw have been baking the apple squares, currant squares (known as fly cemeteries) and shortbread which they have provided (and delivered) at a very low-cost for the monthly Ceilidh dances. Unfortunately Jock’s health no longer permits him to continue so I will have to look elsewhere for our monthly refreshments. Many, many thanks to Jock & Cathy for their support of the Ceilidh dances over all these years.

The Scottish Cultural Centre is a pretty unique and wonderful asset and space is available for rent to anyone or any group. The Centre does not run itself but is actually run by the United Scottish Cultural Society (USCS). Memberships in this Society are for individuals only and presently cost $10 annually. Membership Application Forms may be obtained either at the Centre or on the USCS website – www.scottishculturalcentre.com . The cost is only $10.
Any person may join USCS and Scottish Country & Ceilidh Dancers are encouraged to show their support by doing so. If any USCS member would like to be more involved, then, Darryl Carracher, the Manager at the Centre, will be pleased to give you further information. We have just finished replacing the roof which was a major expense. We also plan to paint and spruce up the main hall but that will not take place until October.
Upgrades to the Centre are also being considered so it is particularly appropriate that dancers join USCS. No final decisions on these upgrades will be made before Members of USCS are fully informed.

Very nice weather this weekend which meant I was out in the garden so I am now very stiff and sore. I did quite a bit of pruning so my hands are tired from all the cutting and, as some of the work was on a very old rose, I have quite a few scratches. I filled 4 of the large green garden waste wheelies which will be emptied tomorrow.
I am continuing my battle with the raccoons and either I have done something right or they have found a better lawn to wreck as they have left my new bits of sod alone for a few days. Hopefully they will stay away a bit longer so the sod gets a chance to put down some roots.
I cleaned out the shed a week or so ago but, a squirrel I think, has been in and made a mess. That will be my next battle!!

When the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Is this man truly a genius? Checked out and this is true…it DID happen!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Socialist’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Come Scottish Country Dancing – it is lots of fun. Just ask anyone who came along to the Dancing in the Park. We had great audience participation so I hope you will all come along and join one of our great classes or at least come to one of the Ceilidh Dances.

The next Ceilidh Dance is on Friday, October 24, 2014 with live music by Calanaish. You still have time to spread the word about all the Ceilidh Dances as that is the best (and cheapest) form of advertising. It is great exercise and fun, for all ages, too.
Here is a link where you can watch a short video of a Ceilidh Dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MvUwZnY9Ms and here is a link to the Facebook advert: https://www.facebook.com/events/597360563665264/597360566998597/ The format for all of the regular monthly Ceilidh Dances will be the same with the class from 7 – 8 p.m. and the dance from 8 – 11 p.m. and all dances will be walked and talked through.
They are all held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver. The price is only – $10 or $8 for students which, for what you get is a super bargain – everyone is welcome. No partner is required and you should wear FLAT, comfy shoes and loose clothing. Children are also welcome but should be prepared to dance with other people as some of the dances require a change of partner. Don’t forget to bring a few extra $$$$ to help defray the cost of the refreshments which are otherwise free.

The Branch has opened a Facebook Page at “RSCDS-Vancouver” – check it out there are some good pictures etc. www.facebook.com/rscdsvancouver. There is a link on both our website www.vancouverceilidh.org and the Branch website www.rscdsvancouver.org
This is a really good time to come along and join in one of many Scottish Country Dance (SCD) classes as you will be starting at the same time as other “beginners.” You will be made very welcome. Many classes have a policy that the first night is FREE! Plan to come along to try out a class next week. There are classes all around and on different nights so GIVE IT A GO! Go to either www.rscdsvancouver.org or www,vancouverceilidh.org for a list of class locations and times.

For those who don’t know SCD is a fabulous pastime which is super exercise for body and mind. SCD is, naturally, rooted in Scotland but there are groups in almost every country so you can learn here and then dance with other groups when you vacation or travel. SCD is not to be confused with Highland Dancing which is more solo dancing. SCD is usually done with a partner in groups or sets however you do not need to come with a partner. It is more akin to Square Dancing.
It takes a year or two of classes, workshops, etc. to learn the basics then you can hone your skills in advanced classes. You start by learning the steps and formations. Dances (of which there are over 13,000) are made up of these formations so a good grounding will give you the ability to learn a new dance fairly quickly. SCD has its HQ in Scotland and is known as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) and there is a Vancouver Branch of the RSCDS under which there are many clubs throughout the Province (there is also a Branch in Seattle).
There are a great many classes and the ones in the Vancouver area are listed below. Come along – check us out – the first night is usually free and thereafter it will average about $6 a night and that’s for a 2 hour class! You will find many friendly people who will be eager to help you and welcome you to their club. You never know you actually might like it!! Check the list of classes at either at www.vancouverceilidh.org or www.rscdsvancouver.org.
Note that the latter website has the latest updates to temporary changes to times and locations
as well there are classes all up and down Vancouver Island, a number of the Gulf Islands, the Cariboo, Okanagan, etc. etc. and there are various groups all over this great Province, Country, World and who knows where else! Check the Branch website for all these details – www.rscdsvancouver.org

It’s late Fall, and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn’t tell what the winter was going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, ‘Is the coming winter going to be cold?’
‘It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,’ the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. ‘Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?’ ‘Yes,’ the man at National Weather Service again replied, ‘it’s going to be a very cold winter.’
The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. ‘Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?’ ‘Absolutely,’ the man replied. ‘It’s looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever seen.’ ‘How can you be so sure?’ the chief asked. The weatherman replied, ‘The Indians are collecting a an enormous amount of firewood.’
