A beautiful day out at Ballachulish<\/p>\n

The Ceilidh Dance on November 26 was a great success with 35 keen young (mostly) folk enjoying an evening of fun.\u00a0 The band were in fine form despite the layoff and Alison taught some really enjoyable dances.\u00a0 There were no problems with Covid and we checked that everyone had been fully vaccinated,\u00a0 There were a number of students from UBC and we hope they will come again – we tried to bribe them with extra cookies!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

So now it is a wait again not because of Covid but because everyone has so much on at this time of year.\u00a0 The next dance (all being well Covid restriction wise) is not until January 28, 2022 – put it on your calendar now!\u00a0 It will be great way to work off all the goodies you have indulged in over the festive season. It will be at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver with the class at 7 pm followed by the dance at 8 pm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

All those attending will have to have a BC authorized vaccination passport showing you have had two jabs plus proof of identity and masks will be <\/b>mandatory<\/b><\/span> to enter the building and must be worn in the common areas such as corridors and washrooms.\u00a0 We will be taking your names & contact info so you can be reached in the unlikely event that there is an outbreak.\u00a0 You will be required to put on your mask when not dancing and wherever possible keep 6 meters apart.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The dance, and future dances, will be <\/strong>held at the Scottish Cultural Centre, 8886 Hudson Street, Vancouver but, there is a slight change of time.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Alison will continue to be your teacher\/caller so you are guaranteed to have a great evening.\u00a0 No change to the admission – still $15 with students $10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have lost one of out major volunteers due to work and family commitments.\u00a0 Bonnie has been a volunteer taking money at the door, balancing the cash, paying any bills and the band, filling in when we needed an extra dancer, babysitting, filling water jugs, clearing up, getting the liquor licence, etc., etc.\u00a0 We are going to miss Bonnie, not only for all the work she did but most of all for her always cheery, welcoming smile.\u00a0 We hope that she will be able to drop by and visit at one of the Ceilidh Dances.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Is there anyone who would like to volunteer for one or all of these duties?\u00a0 If so please send me an email – ceilidhmackenzie@gmail.com<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Two priests died at the same time and met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, “I’d like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You’ll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can’t go back as priests. So, what else would you like to be?”<\/p>\n

The first priest said, “I’ve always wanted to an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains.” “So be it,” said St. Peter, and off flies the priest.<\/p>\n

The second priest mulls this over for a minute and asks, “Will any of this week ‘count?'”<\/p>\n

“No,” said St. Peter. “there’s no way we can keep track of what you’re doing.”<\/p>\n

“In that case, says the second priest, “I’ve always wanted to be a stud.”<\/p>\n

“So be it,” said St. Peter, and the second priest disappears. A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests.<\/p>\n

“Will you have any trouble locating them?” he asks.<\/p>\n

“The first one should be easy \u2014 he’s somewhere over the Rockies, but the second one could prove to be more difficult,” St. Peter replies.<\/p>\n

“Why?” asks the Lord.<\/p>\n

“He’s on a snow tire, somewhere in Newfoundland”..<\/p>\n
