Yes it is Ceilidh dance week – the dance is on Friday which is October 27.\u00a0\u00a0Hopefully the word has spread and many more will come this Friday.\u00a0 You can come in your Halloween costume if you like – if many of you do then we will have prizes.\u00a0 We need a big crowd so get on your phones and tell all your friends and folk you have never talked to.\u00a0 Tell them what fun the Ceilidh dances are and what a bargain too.\u00a0 You can all help with promotion.\u00a0 Groups of 8 or more have until Wednesday (23rd) to contact me if they want a discount.<\/p>\n
If you are a bit wary come to the Ceilidh dance\u00a0on Friday, October 27 at 7 p.m. in the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver.\u00a0 What is a Ceilidh dance?\u00a0 It is informal, easy Scottish Country dancing in a relaxed style for all ages.\u00a0 We teach everything, no experience or partner required just a desire to have fun an ability to move to wonderful beat of the lively music and to enjoy the company of other like-minded folk.\u00a0 But, it is not for the faint of heart for there is exercise both of body and mind!<\/p>\n

I can’t believe it is Halloween next Tuesday.\u00a0 The White Rock class is having their party this Wednesday so my wife is busy with ideas.\u00a0 That is the easy part, now we need to put some effort in making these ideas come to fruition.<\/p>\n
I guess I should be careful what I wish for.\u00a0 In the last newsletter I said I was waiting for storms.\u00a0 Well they came or at least the rain did as we did not get very much wind.\u00a0 The Cedars dropped (they did not fall!) and I filled all 4 of my large green recycling bins mainly with cedar leaves.\u00a0 It was thick on the ground.\u00a0 There is lots more to come as well as the deciduous trees and the neighbours ones which always blow to wards our garden.\u00a0 I managed to get out on Friday and again today dodging the showers.<\/p>\n
It is time to remind you of the Ceilidh dates for this season and in particular the next one on Friday October 27 with the usual class at 7 and the dance following from 8 – 11 pm. No change in the price this year but that is dependant on great attendance at every dance so mark your calendars now and tell all your friends to do the same.\u00a0 We need 80+ to break even so with only 60 coming to the September dance – you can do the math.\u00a0 It is a team, we need you all to help.\u00a0 Tell your friends etc. about the dances – we can do it.<\/p>\n
The other dates for this season are:-<\/p>\n
The dances are all held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver (73rd and Hudson which is between Granville and Oak Streets). They are all held on Friday evenings and where possible the last Friday of each month – the exceptions are December (as we never schedule one) and January. Calanais have been practising and are raring to play for us again and Alison and I are rested and ready so all we need is you! Hope to see you on October 27.<\/p>\n

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.”<\/p>\n After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800\u00a0dollars and leaves.<\/p>\n The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back\u00a0upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?”<\/p>\n “It was Bob the next-door neighbor,” she replies.<\/p>\n “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”<\/p>\n =======================================================<\/p>\n The Scottish Cultural Centre is a pretty unique and wonderful asset and space is available for rent to anyone or any group.
