Bodesbeck Law in Moffat Water Valley<\/p>\n

We are in a wait and see what happens again because of Covid.\u00a0 The next dance is not until January 28, 2022 but with the spread of Omicron we will have to wait and see if the Provincial restrictions will be lifted or extended – please watch for updates as we get closer to the date.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It will be too bad if it is cancelled as it will be a great way to work off all the goodies you have indulged in over the festive season. If it is on then 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

The 2021\/22 season dances are scheduled as follows:-<\/b><\/p>\n

January 28, 2022

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 to help at the Ceilidh dances?\u00a0 \u00a0If so please send me an email – ceilidhmackenzie@gmail.com<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.<\/p>\n

“Well, whatcha’ gonna do about it?” he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears. “Come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can’t stand to see a man crying.”<\/p>\n

“This is the worst day of my life,” I said. “I’m a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen
\nand I don’t have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man … and then my dog bit me.”<\/p>\n

“So, I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all. I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in it and I sit here watching the poison dissolve. And then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!<\/p>\n

But, hell, enough about me, how are you doing?”<\/p>\n
