Forfar Loch<\/p>\nDespite the advertising I will not be appearing at the CeltFest Ceilidh on Saturday.\u00a0 I just am not strong enough for that challenge which is a pity because I was looking forward to it.\u00a0 I enjoyed to occasions when I got to work with Blackthorn but it would have been unfair to try in my present condition.\u00a0 The Church Ceilidh tomorrow is a different matter and if I cannot do it then someone else can easily step in.<\/p>\n

I am researching the spread of Scottish Country Dancing, and trying to find out why it spread where and when it did. I am sending out a survey hoping to gain a better understanding of why Scottish Country Dancing exists where it does. If you could possibly send the survey to members of your Scottish Country Dance groups it would be really helpful to my research.<\/p>\n https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/887zwUkpM8<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you!<\/p>\n Melissa Milligan<\/p>\n ********************************************************************************<\/p>\n The next regular Ceilidh Dance is\u00a0Friday, March 25, 2016 and I hope you can come.\u00a0\u00a0Remember if you have a group of 8 or more and you contact me no later than March 23 then everyone in your group will get a $1 discount.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????<\/p>\n Flying truths<\/p>\n ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n Jean Wagstaff has asked if I would advertise the following<\/p>\n USED ITEMS FOR SALE<\/strong><\/p>\n Kilt Jacket, Green Tweed Kilt Jacket, Tweed Mixed Colours 1 Sporran\u00a0 Muscrat $40 obo.<\/span><\/p>\n 1 Sporran White imitation Fur $40. obo<\/span><\/p>\n For further information contact: I have just received notice of a Charlie Jacket for sale – 42″ for $50 –\u00a0call Steve at 604-531-2627<\/p>\n ===========================================================\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy<\/p>\n The Celtic Fest Parade happens on March 13 at 11 a.m.\u00a0 Come and join the RSCDS in the Parade.\u00a0 It is lots of fun – easy steps – great camaraderie – and you feel good.\u00a0 Contact Cathrine at ccmusic@telus.net.\u00a0\u00a0We want to get a larger\u00a0show then last year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<\/p>\n Thanks to Steve at the Celtic Treasure Chest there is now an online list of all the Celtic societies as well as a calendar of events:<\/span><\/p>\n List https:\/\/www.celtictreasurechest.com\/links\/index.php<\/span><\/a> Celtic Fashions on E-Bay – go to https:\/\/www.CelticFashions.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<\/p>\n The Scottish Cultural Centre<\/span> is a pretty unique and wonderful asset and space is available for rent to anyone or any group.
